Cut through the noise.
Step into your power.
You don’t need fluff.
You need someone who’ll tell you what works.
I’m Caterina, your self-appointed mentor. I help women and changemakers move from stuck to unstoppable with no-nonsense guidance, proven strategies and full-spectrum support across:
-
Business ownership
-
Motherhood and marriage
-
Wellbeing and sustainability
-
Gender equality and political education
-
Yarn crafting (yep, that too!)
If you’re ready to build a life and career that actually aligns with your values, I’m here to walk beside you with straight talk, structure and support.
