Passion Projects, Purpose and Showing Up: A Conversation with Cat Dunn

Описание: Some stories are too important to keep quiet. But knowing that doesn't always make it easier to share them.

For so many women, the experiences that have shaped them most deeply are the ones they've never said out loud. Not because they don't matter, but because the right space never existed.

In this episode of Seed to Success, Adrienne Donnelly sits down with Cat Dunn, award-winning OBM, mentor, speaker, and founder of the live speaker event and global podcast Life After I Left. Cat shares the deeply personal journey behind building a platform dedicated to amplifying women's stories, from surviving domestic violence to creating a movement that is now going global. This is a conversation about vulnerability, purpose, and what becomes possible when women are finally given the stage.

In this episode, you'll hear about:
The story behind Life After I Left and why Cat built her own stage
How vulnerability became Cat's greatest tool in business and in life
Why women's stories need dedicated spaces to be heard
What it looks like to run a passion project alongside a busy OBM business
What's coming in 2026, including Bali and a nationwide tour vision
