The Whole-Hearted Life with Cate Baio: How to Heal Generational Trauma and Overcome the Loss of a Loved One


Listen Later

Imagine navigating the sudden, tragic loss of your mother, while caring for a newborn. How do you process that kind of grief? Where do you turn for meaning, for healing, for hope?

In this powerful episode, Jonathan sits down with Cate Baio—Director of Learning at the Center for Transformational Coaching, and one of our extraordinary Learning Leaders for the Deep Coaching Intensive . Cate’s story is shaped by profound loss, the complex legacy of her mother’s life and death, and the long, tender road of healing that followed.

Together, they explore how the darkest moments in life—grief, trauma, spiritual confusion—can become gateways to awakening, presence, and purpose. From motherhood and intergenerational trauma to the call of deep coaching and creativity, Cate reveals how transformation is not only possible, but inevitable when we dare to meet life as it is.

Whether you’re a coach, healer, or spiritual seeker, this conversation will leave you grounded, inspired, and deeply connected to what matters most
