Know exactly what you want to say yet freeze the second you go to hit record or go live
Have the pitch, the ask, the launch sitting drafted and unsent, because saying it out loud feels like too much
Keep playing small, because stepping up means being seen; and being seen is terrifying
Simple solution = get frothy about your fear
Cat Dunn has featured on...
Turn your scary sh*t into your ultimate secret weapon
(without white-knuckling your way through it alone)
Life After I Left
The podcast and live event where women tell the truth about leaving — relationships, jobs, versions of themselves that were playing small. Come listen. Come sit in the room
My group mentorship experience for women ready to stop waiting for confidence and start taking scary action, with safety, structure, and a room of women doing it alongside you
Founder of Life After I Left Speaker | Business Mentor Best-selling Author
As a professional Scare Actor, it's my job to understand how fear works in the body - how to create it, what triggers it, how to hold someone inside it safely, and bring them out the other side. I reverse-engineered fear as a craft.
Then I had to use every single one of those tools to survive my own life. I left a domestic violence relationship. I was homeless. I rebuilt a 6-figure business from a friend's kitchen table while the court process was still running; not because I felt ready, because there was no other option.
I didn't study fear. I survived it. Then I weaponised it.
Now I help businesswomen do the same: turn the thing that scares them most into the fuel that moves them forward.
Stop waiting to feel ready, and start doing the scary thing.
"I take my hat off to Cat for her ability to curate a space for women where there is true safety, curiosity, and compassion in the room. Our relationship to fear will always dictate and determine how we navigate through life and Cat is creating a stage where, not only the women on stage, but the audience members can challenge and question their relationship to fear. And learn to overcome barriers that prevent them from stepping into the life that they want and the things that they want to achieve. I have zero hesitation with recommending anyone to work with Cat - or to step on her stage."
Why Cat Dunn?
Not a "one size fits all" kinda gal
Every woman's fear looks different - visibility, voice, or expansion. I meet you where your freeze actually is, not where a generic program assumes it is.
Uncover my underworld
Not to toot my own horn, but I'm ace at this, and if something's outside my lane (nervous system work, speaking technique, money blocks), I know exactly who to send you to. I'd rather you get the right help than a half-fit from me.
I didn't study fear; I lived it.
Scare actor. Domestic violence survivor. 6 figures built from a kitchen table. I'm not teaching theory — I've done the scary thing first, every time, so I know exactly how to walk you through it.

We make fear your bitch (in the best way possible)
Like the dark, I can't get enough of it. Using fear, mine and yours, to turn the thing that scares you into the thing that moves you. Let's stop lifting the lid on "one day" and start doing the scary thing today.
I send f**king amazing emails to my list. Fear goals, Life After I Left updates, and the occasional scream into the void. Sign up for the front row. No spam, promise.
I acknowledge the First Nations and Traditional Custodians, The Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung, for the land I work and live on today. I pay my respect to Elders past, present, and emerging and to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
