The Cost of Disconnecting from Your Human Signal: What Happens When You Stop Listening to Yourself
A Conversation with Inner Authority Guide and Author Catherine Crestani

What happens when the life you've worked so hard to build no longer feels like your own?

In this episode, I sit down with Catherine Crestani—inner authority guide, speaker, and author—to explore what happens when we override our intuition in pursuit of achievement, security, or the expectations of others.

Drawing from her own journey through burnout, chronic stress, and rebuilding after walking away from a successful business, Catherine shares how learning to choose herself transformed not only her work, but her health and sense of purpose. As she puts it, our bodies often know the truth long before our minds are willing to admit it.

Together we explore why so many high achievers disconnect from their inner signal, how success can become misaligned with fulfillment, and what it looks like to build a life that reflects who we truly are—not who we think we're supposed to be.
