Have you ever felt like your story was too heavy, too personal, or too complicated to say out loud? Like the things you've survived don't belong in a professional space or a public conversation?

So many women are carrying experiences they've never spoken about, not because they don't matter, but because no one ever created a space that felt safe enough to share them.

In this episode, Adrienne Donnelly sits down with Cat Dunn, award-winning OBM, mentor, speaker, and founder of the live speaker event and global podcast Life After I Left. Cat shares the deeply personal journey behind building a platform dedicated to amplifying women's stories, from surviving domestic violence to creating one of Australia's most courageous storytelling communities. This is a conversation about vulnerability, purpose, and what becomes possible when women are finally given the stage.

You'll hear about:

🌱 The story behind Life After I Left and why Cat built her own stage

🌱 How vulnerability became Cat's greatest tool in business and life

🌱 Why women's stories need dedicated spaces to be heard

🌱 Running a passion project alongside a busy OBM business

🌱 What's coming in 2026, including Bali and a nationwide tour vision

Your story has weight, it has reach. And there is someone out there who needs to hear exactly what you've been through. You don't have to share it all at once, and you don't have to have it perfectly packaged. Showing up honestly, even when your voice shakes, is enough.
