What happens when a woman leaves behind a successful corporate career to heal herself—and ends up building a sanctuary for others? In this deeply personal episode, Cathy O’Brien shares her remarkable transformation from brand executive to wellness leader and founder of The Wellspace for Women. Her story weaves through the challenges of motherhood, postpartum depression, toxic relationships, and a breast cancer diagnosis—each moment pushing her closer to her purpose.
Now leading Naturopathica and creating spaces for women to connect and heal at The Wellspace in Connecticut and Manhattan, Cathy discusses the gaps in women’s health, the power of community, and why we must reimagine our own wellness through a more inclusive, research-backed, and compassionate lens.
