Episode Description

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 doubt
  • Burning out from chasing success that wasn’t actually hers
  • Learning to choose what’s worth her time and peace
  • The underestimated power of everyday kindness


This is a conversation about unlearning, protecting your energy, and leading with intention — even when no one’s watching.
