Silenced by Abuse to Finding My Voice with Cat Dunn

from Legacy Building Mamas · host Evelyn Lopez Delon

In this episode of the Legacy Building Mamas Podcast, I sit down with Cat Dunn — award-winning OBM, mentor, speaker, and host of Life After I Left. Cat shares how starting her business while in an abusive relationship became the lifeline that reconnected her to the world — and ultimately, to herself.Now a powerful voice for women reclaiming their worth, Cat helps others rise from silence — whether it's domestic violence, generational conditioning, or outdated business expectations. This conversation goes beyond business — it’s about truth, liberation, and remembering who you are beneath everything you were told to be.

Bauer, Florian Schneider, Axel Weber & Dr. Tillman Bardt The Newmorrow PodCast is more than a podcast — it's a platform for open dialog on the future of our business, a platform for those building what doesn’t exist yet. Here, we share and embrace our passion for the hospitality industry, but we won’t romanticize the journey. We ask the tough questions, confront uncomfortable truths, and prepare for a future that resists easy answers. We believe that the tougher and wilder times become, the more openly, honestly and humanely people need to talk to each other and act together. We believe, openness, togetherness, and truthfulness should also be cornerstones of a professional community to develop our utopian idea of „open source“. This is a space where visionaries don’t just imagine the future — they wrestle with the paradoxes that shape it: success vs. happiness, data vs. instinct, stability vs. reinvention. Join leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers as they share not what made them — but what’s actively shaping them, now and next. So tune in
