Imperfectly Impactful with Cat RotenWhat Hosting Taught Me About Receiving & Purpose: Immersion ReflectionsIt’s been a few weeks since the Immersion I hosted in Boone, North Carolina, and the experience stayed with me in a way I didn’t expect. I’ve shared pieces of it in writing, but I wanted to capture it here, out loud, while it’s still alive.
The Immersion in Nov. 2025 felt different from the one I hosted earlier this year. Not better. Just more me.
More intentional. More aligned with how I actually want to create space and support women in business.

In this episode, I sit down with my friend Joni Cesario, someone whose past few months have been marked by bold decisions, closed doors, and a vision so big she had to burn down almost everything that wasn’t supporting it. What she shares is not polished. It’s not tied up with a bow. It’s the real, in-process story of walking away from a business, releasing relationships, grieving identity, and choosi...

This realization hit me while I was at the Soul Led Speaker Training with Stephanie Ross, where I got to connect with so many incredible women, and even speak. One of them, Cailee, shared something so simple yet so powerful: Self-care is what we do. Self-love is how we be.
That moment stopped me in my tracks. Because while I’ve always talked about self-care, the workouts, the healthy meals, the routin...

This topic came up recently in a conversation with one of my clients, and it hit me just how often we all do this. How often we give our power away through unnecessary apologies.
Instead of apologizing for every little thin...
2025-10-3107 minImperfectly Impactful with Cat RotenFull Circle: Returning to What’s Always Felt TrueTwo years ago, I hit “publish” on my very first podcast episode—without a plan, just a name that had landed in my heart: Imperfectly Impactful.

In this episode, I’m bringing it all back. After seasons of refinement, name changes, and reconnecting with my core message, I’m officially returning to the name that started it all.

After weeks of excitement, overwhelm, and big opportunities, I sat down with my mentors and uncovered a belief I didn’t even know I was carrying… the idea that success has to be hard. Long hours, constant hustle, and nonstop “doing” had become my default. But through powerful conversations and a hypnotherapy session, I discovered that ease is not only possible, it’s essential.

I dive into my experience with The Artist’s Way and the idea of “shadow artists,” those of us who hide our creative side behind productivity and busyness. For years, I tied my wo...

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...

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 be...

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.
