"Cathryn exceeded my expectations as a mentor. She pours her heart and soul into her work and overdelivers on her promises."

"Working with Cat made my book writing process joyful, fun and certainly much quicker than it might have been. What I hadn’t expected was how much I would learn about myself, and how I would grow as a person."
