What if success isn’t about having it all — but believing you can create what truly matters?
In this Xposed Living: Gen X Wellness Evolution conversation, Stacey Vanthuyne reconnects with Catherine Vu — one of Edmonton’s most influential entrepreneurs and philanthropists — to talk about authenticity, courage, and creating impact that lasts.
Long before boardrooms and business awards, Catherine attended Stacey’s aerobics classes in the early 2000s. Decades later, both women have built lives defined by resilience, reinvention, and purpose. Their energy is contagious, their laughter is real, and their insights are game-changing.
As founder of Pro-Active IT Management Inc. and creator of The Vu Impact Fund, Catherine shares how she’s built trust, led with curiosity, and stayed grounded in a male-dominated industry. Together, she and Stacey redefine what balance really means — proving that authenticity always wins and that giving back expands everything.
In this episode, you’ll get Xposed to:
• The myth of balance — and what real alignment looks like
• How authenticity builds stronger teams, cultures, and communities
• The secret to staying grounded while scaling success
• Why leadership is about impact, not accolades
• Courage, curiosity, and trust — the unshakable trio of influence
• How giving back fuels both business and joy
This isn’t a highlight reel.
It’s a behind-the-scenes look at two powerhouse women who’ve lived, led, and evolved — and are still just getting started.
Because in leadership, believing in your ability is an inside job.
