Cathy shares her inspiring journey from high-performance sales leader to life and business strategist, offering proven insights for entrepreneurs seeking to reclaim their time, live with purpose, and scale their success without sacrificing personal well-being.

Building a Business Without Burning Out
Cathy’s entrepreneurial journey began at just 19 with a standout career at Cutco, where she quickly broke records and reached impressive financial heights.

Through her company and work with GoBundance Women, Cathy teaches leaders how to integrate both masculine and feminine energies—blending action with intuition, and strategy with empathy. The result? A more grounded, inclusive, and sustainable way to run a business.
Her story is a powerful reminder that building a fulfilling life doesn’t require sacrificing ambition—it just requires a better system.

Delegation systems to offload low-leverage tasks

KPI reporting habits to track performance with ease
These foundational systems empower leaders to grow their businesses while living more fully, pursuing passions, and showing up better for the people who matter most.
