Her message is rooted in the belief that people are not broken; they are shaped, and that healing creates the opportunity to choose what comes next.

Beyond the Hustle: When Being Strong Becomes Survival
Women are often celebrated for being strong, dependable, productive, and able to carry it all. But what happens when strength becomes a survival strategy? In this practical session, Catrina explores the hidden emotional cost of constantly being “the strong one,” drawing from clinical experience to unpack the difference between coping and healing, why high-functioning women continue to push even when emotionally depleted, and practical ways to move from survival toward awareness, alignment, and healing.
