Today I’m joined by someone who embodies both the grit of a behind the scenes fixer and the vulnerability of a heart led leader.
Meghan Cathlin, founder of Considerate Ventures, has spent more than 25 years supporting artists, authors, celebrities and CEOs. Known as an unassuming and elegant fixer, she brings calm, order and warmth to complex projects ranging from major concerts to memoirs.
Her journey hasn’t been straightforward. Meghan grew up facing deep hardship – she lost her father to suicide, lived in poverty, dropped out of school and overcame abusive relationships. Yet she credits these experiences with awakening her heart led philosophy. She believes the head is a great tool for analyzing the past but “out of its depth” when guiding us into our brightest future, and she’s learned that when we achieve heart coherence, we think more clearly, regulate our emotions and gain greater intuition.
Today she channels those insights into her upcoming book, Leading With the Heart: The Courage to Trust Your Inner Wisdom and Rewrite Your Life, and into the bespoke services she provides through Considerate Ventures. Her clients describe her as having an intuitive sixth sense and the rare ability to shepherd high pressure projects with grace and humor.
In this episode we delve into how Meghan navigated her transition from a behind the scenes organizer to a purpose driven entrepreneur, why she intentionally keeps her client roster small, and what it means to lead with the heart in business and in life.
If you’ve ever felt drawn to entrepreneurship but hesitant to claim the title, Meghan’s story will inspire you. Tune in as we discuss overcoming adversity, embracing both the “superhero” and the “hot mess” within, and why serving others can be the most powerful motivation of all.
