If you're tired of chasing everyone else’s definition of success, Cathy’s story will resonate.

In this episode, we talk about what it really means to reinvent yourself—especially after 50. Cathy opens up about the pressure to “get it right,” the shift from helper to leader, and the power of being unapologetically yourself. We also dive into how she built SWAG into a vibrant community for women ready to lead on their own terms.

We talk about:

• How to redefine ambition at any age
• Why being “a good girl” and being effective are not the same
• The difference between helpful and heroic (and why you don’t have to rescue everyone)
• What authenticity really means—and how it frees you
• Building community with purpose and ease
