What happens when you realize the thing you’ve been chasing… isn’t actually what you want? In this episode, I sit down with Catherine Crestani to talk about the quiet, powerful moments of self-awareness that shaped her journey. From building a company to prove people wrong, to realizing she no longer wants to spend her energy that way — Catherine shares what it looks like to let go of ego, expectations, and outside validation. We also dive into: The sting of being told she was “too young to lead” — and how that planted doubtBurning out from chasing success that wasn’t actually hersLearning to choose what’s worth her time and peaceThe underestimated power of everyday kindnessThis is a conversation about unlearning, protecting your energy, and leading with intention — even when no one’s watching.Check out Catherine:https://hello-b14.mvt.so/ Connect with Us: Follow us on Instagram: ⁠@MentallyABadass⁠Join our mental health community on Facebook: ⁠https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1FvMkEuAT1/⁠Check out our clothing line: ⁠www.mentallyabadass.com⁠Join our newsletter! https://mentally-a-badass.kit.com/38b8c56fc7 We would love your support! https://buymeacoffee.com/mentallyabadass Subscribe & Review: Love this episode?
