Life After I Left

The community for women rebuilding their lives after the thing that nearly broke them

A community, live events and growing podcast dedicated to celebrating resilience, empowerment, and the power of storytelling.

Real women. Real stories. No shame. No censorship.

"When I reflect on my experience speaking at the Life After I Left event, as a professional speaker I am rarely nervous to step on stage. I recall it being an experience that really challenged me and pushed me out of my comfort zone because I was given the opportunity to genuinely and vulnerably share my story. It was an incredible empowering experience and 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."

The Life After I Left community is for you if:

Streamline your systems service icon, with a snake wrapped around a foot.

You've rebuilt your life after something that tried to break you, and you've never had a room that could hold that story

You've thought "I thought I was the only one" more times than you can count

You're done with spaces that ask you to shrink your story to make other people comfortable

You want to hear other women say the true, raw, unpolished version out loud — not the highlight reel

You're ready to reclaim your voice, whether you've been silenced or never had the chance to speak

You believe in our mission to break the silence and to fill every room with womens' voices

Nodding your head?

Your story has been locked in the dark long enough, and the silence around it
is scarier than anything in a haunted house

Have you ever felt...

Like your story was too much, too messy, or too shameful to say out loud

Alone in a room full of people, because no one else seemed to be carrying what you were carrying

Like healing had to happen quietly, off to the side, instead of on a stage where it could actually help someone else

Like "moving on" meant never speaking about what happened again

All of these are totally normal and exactly what the women in our community have experienced

Brenda Keane

"I was so honoured to get the opportunity to share my story and inspire others to follow their dreams. The event is extremely professionally run and organised and there is no shortage of communication and encouragement prior to taking the stage. On the night Cat is there calming you and preparing you to take the stage and the event runs like clockwork. The audience are super engaged and everyone leaves feeling uplifted, inspired and eagerly awaiting the next event of Cat's we can attend!"

You dream about walking into the right room

Surrounded by women who get it, telling your story without flinching, and leaving lighter than you arrived

OBM Cat Dunn, wearing a red suit in Melbourne to meet with a client.

Imagine walking into a room where:

Strangers hug, cry, swap numbers, and leave feeling like they've found people who understand

A woman shares her story publicly for the very first time, and the room holds her for it

You hear someone else's story and think, "that's exactly it — I thought I was the only one"

Your story becomes the thing that helps someone else feel less alone

It's time to stop carrying this alone. Come find the room where your story isn't too much - it's exactly what someone else needs to hear.

Newsflash: you don't need to have it all figured out to belong here; you just need to show up

"Cat has created something truly special with her Life After I Left events. This is a space where you walk in and instantly feel safe - to share your own story and to chat to new people - which can be hard to find at events!

As an MC, Cat had an infectious energy that set the tone for the night; making it both a place to laugh and have fun, and to get real, raw and emotional."
