In this raw and radiant episode, I sit down with painter, coach, and projector powerhouse Yekaterina Benson for a deeply honest conversation about identity, misalignment, and what it really means to live a soul-led life.
Kat shares her journey from working at Pixar to leaving it all behind to follow the quiet voice within, the one that told her: “There has to be more.” What follows is a story of health breakdowns, spiritual awakenings, and radical realignments that will have you thinking deeply about your own path.
This episode is an invitation. To soften. To slow down. To listen to the truth your body, your energy, and your desires have been whispering all along.
In This Episode, We Talk About:
- What happens when success stops feeling good (and how to tell when it’s time to walk away)
- The subtle signs your soul is ready for something more
- How Kat learned to trust her body after burnout and chronic illness
- The powerful shift that happens when projectors stop trying to keep up
- Why softness is your superpower and the ultimate spiritual practice
- How to start reconnecting with joy, desire, and the life you are meant to live
