Welcome to another Episode of Mindful Entrepreneurs Talk!
What an incredible conversation with Cathy Davis, founder of Cathy Davis & Company. From officiating just two weddings to scaling her business to 600+ ceremonies a year, Cathy’s journey is a true testament to entrepreneurial growth, leadership, and community-building.
In this episode, we dive deep into what it takes to build a thriving business while maintaining balance, purpose, and joy. Cathy shares how fostering meaningful connections—like through @niagaras_creative_entrepreneur—has been a game-changer, fueling not just her business growth but also a supportive network that thrives together.
We explored:
✅ The Power of a CEO Mindset – How showing up fully and leading with intention transforms your business.
✅ Going Back to Basics – Why chasing trends can lead to overwhelm instead of success.
✅ Why Complacency Can Kill a Business – Growth requires evolution, and adapting accelerates success.
✅ Planning a Year Ahead – How scheduling vacations reduces stress and keeps your passion alive.
✅ The Power of a Deep Breath & an Empowering Slogan – Simple but powerful tools to reset and push through challenges.
✅ The Impact of the Goal Power Up Program (@wearebluewater) – How Cathy accomplished more in weeks than she did in six months last year.
✅ Client Relationships Matter – Why she’s doing a cookie drop in Niagara as part of her commitment to client excellence.
Cathy’s insights were next-level, and I loved her take on leading with grace, community, and heart. If you’re an entrepreneur looking to scale your business without burnout while staying aligned, mindful, and fulfilled, this episode is for you!
