Meet Cathy Clarke
Lineage-Shifting Coach & Empowerment Expert
My Story Begins in Chaos
As the fifth of six kids, I grew up in what I often call a circus, no trapeze, just high-stakes emotional juggling. My mother battled mental illness, my father struggled with addiction, and behind the closed doors of our home, danger and dysfunction became normal.
We looked fine on the outside. But inside? It was survival mode. No laugh track, no safety net. Just a bunch of siblings learning to navigate chaos like scrappy little superheroes.
At age 7, a car accident left me scarred, physically and emotionally. I didn’t get the support I needed to process it. I carried that pain in silence. At school, I felt lost, disconnected, and unseen.
The system wasn’t built for someone like me. When high school ended, no one asked what I dreamed of. They told me to get a job. So I did. Many jobs, in fact. None of them lit me up. I was adrift.
But something inside me refused to quit.
From Surviving to Shifting
One book changed my life: Toxic Parents by Susan Forward. It cracked open everything I’d tried to bury. For the first time, I saw clearly: the trauma, the dysfunction, the conditioning, none of it had to define me. I could rewrite the story.
That was my moment of shift. The beginning of my healing. Not pretty or perfect, just real, raw, and necessary.
I dove deep into personal growth, studied, healed, fought for myself, and laughed through the madness. Eventually, I trained as a Life Coach and stepped fully into my purpose.
Now, I help women like you do the same.
Because if you’re anything like me, all you really want is to stop feeling the way you do, stuck, unsure, unseen, and start to remember that you have a choice.
A choice to feel good.
A choice to be free.
A choice to become who you were always meant to be.
