The Joy I Shrunk to be “Professional” & Fit In
About this episode
Cat Roten discusses the importance of embracing one's true self and the joy that comes from authenticity in both life and business.
What if the parts of you you’ve been hiding… are actually the parts meant to lead you back to yourself? In this episode, I’m sharing the realization I had around how long I’ve been shrinking my joy, muting my passions, and trying to look “professional” instead of fully being myself. In this episode, I talk about: How fear of judgment can disconnect us from what we love Why I stopped downplaying my Disney obsession, book nerdiness, and joy How joy, play, and fun help you show up better in life and business Questions to ask yourself about what lights you up right now Why your people can’t find you if you keep hiding who you are Maybe the thing you’ve been shrinking is the very thing that makes you magnetic. What would change if you let it take up space? Resources: Connect on Instagram – @cat.roten Prefer Video?- Checkout our Youtube channel Last 2026 IME & Immersion- applications our open!
