Six years ago Catherine Zack left her prestigious title and large paycheck as a corporate litigator to pursue yoga. Today she shares how she helps type-A, success-driven (perhaps even workaholic) entrepreneurs slow down and reconnect to their greatest resource: themselves.

Catherine and I are one of the success stories of technology. We met on Instagram. This was at a time I was feeling burned out; I couldn’t see past the next thing on my to-do list. And in walked Catherine -- a source of light who can hold space and envelops you in her calming presence. 

She’s pushed me to be more considerate in how I’m taking care of myself so I can show up as a better leader, a better mom, a better wife, and a better business owner.

This conversation is important -- and not because we’re talking dollars and growth strategies -- but because as the owner of your business you are its most precious resource. And you have to take care of yourself if you want to grow.

On this episode, Catherine and I chat about:

• The impact of the hustle culture on our mindfulness as leaders;
• Leaving a high-paying job for more space, energy, and joy;
• Recognizing when you’re on auto-pilot;
• Easy things you can do to feel more grounded when you’re tightly wound;
• Why you need to take time after a big project before launching into something new;
• What a daily practice is and why you need one;
• And big plans she has for the next year.
