The Surprising Reason My Podcast Guests Keeps Coming Back — Catherine Crestani | Ep 44

Hey friends, Wisdom here! In today’s episode, I sat down with the wonderful Catherine Crestani, host of “Willow Healing Matters.” We went deep on what inspired her to start her podcast, how her journey continues to evolve, and why she’s passionate about amplifying unique healing stories from around the globe. We laughed over podcast mishaps, geeked out over tech woes, and got real about growing something from scratch—without obsessing over download numbers. Catherine’s honesty about starting with what she had, staying true to her intuition, and letting her podcast purposefully shift along the way really hit home. My hope is that you walk away feeling inspired to trust your own creative instincts, stay open to connection, and remember why you started in the first place. Can’t wait for you to hear Catherine’s story—it’s a testament to showing up, staying curious, and letting your voice be heard.
