Imperfectly Impactful with Cat Roten

This episode is part life update, part soul share. and one I recorded while sitting in the middle of some big shifts.I’ve been talking a lot about the Power of Choice, and this feels like a natural extension of that. Because lately, I’ve been choosing to slow down and listen more deeply. Not just to what the business needs, but to what I need as a leader, partner, friend, and human.In this episode, I’m opening up about:
The business momentum I wasn’t expecting (and how I’m navigating it).
Why I’m hiring before I feel fully “ready”.
What intuitive leadership means to me (and how it’s changing my client work).
My evolving relationship with being a leader at home, in my business, and in community.
I also share a behind-the-scenes look at what’s been unfolding spiritually for me: working with a psychic mentor, listening more intently to my intuition, and leaning into a new way of making decisions that honors my energy and inner knowing first.If you’ve been in a season of redefining leadership or reconnecting with your purpose, then this one’s for you.Reflect with me:
What does leadership look like in your life right now? And how might you lead yourself with more trust?

To close out the Power of Choice series, I’m sharing the one choice that has asked the most of me… and given me the most in return:
The choice to lead with love.Even when it’s easier to be frustrated, stressed, or shut down.
In this episode, I talk about:
What it actually looks like to choose love in real-time (not just in theory)
How this shows up in personal relationships, business, and leadership
This isn’t about bypassing or pretending everything is fine.
It’s about becoming the version of me who can hold love and pain at the same time and still choose softness. Still choose connection. Still choose myself.
Because love isn’t a reward. It’s a practice.And choosing it? That’s the most powerful decision of all.

This episode is a reflection straight from the heart days after returning from Powerhouse Women 2025.
I walked into that weekend thinking I needed to fix something. That there was something missing. That I had to do more to be worthy of the next level.
But what I found? Peace. Ease. Support. And a full-body realization that… maybe things are already good.
In this episode, I’m sharing:
Why being triggered isn’t always bad—and what it taught me
How I’m learning to live in the good instead of constantly looking for what’s wrong
My deep gratitude for the community and friendships that hold me
This is your reminder that you don’t have to hustle to earn what’s already yours.
Sometimes, the power is in softening. And letting it be actually good.

Community has looked a lot of different ways for me over the years including packed online networking calls to quiet in-person walks or coffee meet-ups with just one other person.
And if I'm honest, I used to believe that bigger meant better. That community needed to be every day, every moment, sharing about each other constantly on social, etc. to be powerful. But this past year has shown me that intimacy, intention, and alignment matter so much more than numbers OR even who.
In this episode of the Power of Choice series, I’m reflecting on what it’s meant to build my community locally for the first time in years, while also balancing my virtual community.
In this conversation, I share:
How I’ve started building an aligned community both locally & virtually.
How I’ve redefined connection, networking, and showing up for others.
The role discernment plays in choosing who gets your energy.
This one’s especially for those of you who feel disconnected or unsure of what community means in this season (even when you already have it). Whether you’re craving depth, simplicity, or a new way of showing up, this is your reminder that community DOESN’T have to be complicated.

This week on the Power of Choice series, I’m opening up about a part of my story I’ve never fully shared before: what it’s been like to step out of the “shoulds” I grew up with and start choosing my own spiritual path as an adult.
For most of my life, my spiritual path was chosen for me. Church on Sundays, Children’s choir (which I did love!), the beliefs and rhythms my family lived by. It all shaped me, but it wasn’t always my choice.
It hasn’t been linear, and it hasn’t been easy. For years, I buried my questions under work, busyness, and burnout. I ignored the pull to explore what I truly believed in because I was scared to slow down long enough to ask. 
But over the last couple of years, something shifted and I’m learning that spirituality doesn’t have to be defined, labeled, or look like anyone else’s to be real.
In this episode, I share:
The spiritual choices made for me in childhood and how they shaped me
Why I put my spiritual/faith journey on pause for years
What intuition, inner work, and new experiences are teaching me now
I am still very much “in the process.” I don’t have all the answers. Yet, I’m finally choosing to seek them for myself. And maybe, just maybe, this will give you permission to do the same.

In this episode of the Power of Choice series, I’m getting honest about how I’ve had to rework my relationship with boundaries. Not just in business, but in friendships, daily rhythms, and emotional energy. Some of the hardest boundaries I’ve had to set were the ones that no one else could see.
In this conversation, I share:
The difference between internal and external boundaries (and why that clicked for me).
How I’ve noticed patterns of overgiving and where that still shows up.
Why boundaries are a reflection of self-trust, not disconnection.
The ways I’ve unconsciously tied boundaries to worth, value, or being “a good person”
This one’s a reminder that boundaries aren’t about cutting people off. They’re about choosing the version of you that you’re growing into.

In this first episode of the Power of Choice series, I’m sharing something deeply personal: my health and wellness journey. From competitive gymnastics and all-or-nothing patterns to burnout, body image struggles, and ultimately, coming back home to myself, it’s been a long, layered process.
If you’ve ever felt like your relationship with food, movement, or your body has been tangled up in pressure, perfectionism, or performance… you’re NOT alone. I’ve been there. And this is the story of how I’ve been healing… one choice at a time.
I’m not sharing this as a “before and after” moment. I’m sharing it to name what’s often unspoken, to reflect on the quiet shifts that have helped me rebuild trust with my body, and to remind you that your healing doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s.
Inside this episode, I talk about:
How stress, restriction, and alcohol became coping tools I didn’t fully see.
Why I’ve partnered with a functional medicine consultant & Shaklee to support my body.
Why longevity and living well now matter more than “getting it right”
This episode holds pieces of my story I’ve never shared before. It’s vulnerable. But it’s also freeing. Because everything we do, especially how we care for ourselves, is a CHOICE.
If this resonates, please leave a review & share with someone going through their own health & wellness journey!

The surprising story behind a dream trip to Europe (and what manifesting really looked like)

I’ve always been comfortable behind the scenes…. supporting, observing, and anchoring others. But lately, something’s shifted. In this episode, I open up about the deeper identity work I’ve been navigating and how it’s led me to a new season of leadership. One where I’m finally stepping forward.
We’re talking about visibility, trust, and choosing to lead in a way that feels aligne, not performative.

How I’m redefining what leadership looks like for me and feels like in this season
The energetic and personal shifts that have made this transition possible
