Your Fear Facilitator

I don't teach confidence. I put you on your stage.

You've been in business for yonks. You know exactly what you want to say, do, or build next, and something keeps stopping you right before you do it.

Your problem?

You're waiting to feel ready. You're waiting for the fear to go away first. And it's not going anywhere; it's just quietly running your business from the passenger seat, deciding what you post, what you pitch, and what you never quite get around to.

Good news: you found me!

Fear facilitation gets you:

A name for exactly where fear's stopping you, not just vague sense that something's "off"
Real accountability to take the scary action, not just talk about taking it
Star icon.
Turning your wildest dreams and ambitions into realistic, actionable steps
A framework to size the action so it's doable, not paralysing
Star icon.
Real, collected proof that you can do the thing you've been avoiding - and survive it!

"Cat is a wizard! Somehow she sees beyond your words and reaches into the depths of your soul to pull out pure gold. Her No BS, straight-to-the-point energy allowed us to get through more in 90 minutes than most would in a day (maybe a month). She removes all the fluff and gets straight to the heart of what you need, whether it be strategy or soul. It's like she knows what you need before you even do. I love Cat so much."

Let’s go!

If you're done waiting to feel ready and want to take the scary action anyway, I'm your gal.

Curious about Cat?

Business manager icon.
I spent my youth training as a performer (jazz hands and everything), yet didn't believe I could make it professionally. So I spent over a decade in the clutches of corporate, learning admin, PA/EA support, marketing, and comms in the UK. A traveller at heart, I followed my heart to New Zealand and Australia, which I'm now thrilled to call home.

I found scare acting and made it my actual job to understand exactly how fear works. How to create it. What triggers it. How to hold someone inside it safely, and bring them back out the other side.

I didn't get to keep that knowledge as a party trick for long. I had to use every single tool I'd learned to survive my own life. I left an abusive relationship with nowhere to go. 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 lived it, then I weaponised it.

Now I help women in business do the same - name the fear, size the action, and do the scary thing anyway. Coaching, mentorship, and having someone in my corner pulled me out of the darkest places I've ever been. I want that for every woman who's circling the thing she's afraid to do.
"Cat came into my world as I was gearing up to launch my signature course. As a small business owner, I can't tell you what an absolute treat it was to have someone give me a to-do list of simple actionable tasks and hold my hand through a launch when it was all brand new! Forever grateful!!

Why fear?

Our relationship to fear will always dictate and determine how we navigate through life. I'm not interested in helping you feel more confident before you act - confidence is a lagging indicator. I'm interested in what you do while you're still scared.

That's the whole job. Not therapy. Not mindset coaching. Not hype. A stage, a framework, and someone who's done the scary thing first, standing right next to you while you do yours.
