Cat Dunn - Life After I Left, Melbourne (2026)

30/04/2026

What if talking about death actually helped you live more fully?

This week on Life After I Left, I’m joined by Catherine Ashton, founder of Critical Info.

And before you scroll - this isn’t morbid.

It’s one of the most practical, grounding, important conversations we’ve had.

After surviving a major car accident and later losing a close friend, Catherine realised something most of us avoid: we’re wildly unprepared for the inevitable.

Not emotionally, but practically.

What happens when someone dies?
Where is everything?
Who knows what to do?

And more importantly - how do we make that easier for the people we love?

In this episode, we talk about:

- Why death planning is actually about reducing stress, not creating fear
- What to do when someone dies (and why most people feel lost)
- The importance of wills, paperwork, and having a plan
- How to start these conversations with your family (without it being awkward AF)
- Why business owners need continuity plans too
- And how remembering life isn’t forever… can change how you live it

This conversation is a gentle nudge.

Not to panic. But to prepare—with care.

Life After I Left: Podcast party welcomes... Tiffany Ye as our FINAL speaker!!!

Tiffany won our 3 month Storytelling Mentorship with Brittany Dupree of Three Sides To Your Story - and we're so thrilled for her to take our stage as her first speaking opportunity.

From as early as she can remember, fear plagued Tiffany’s life. It was subtle, but it silently dictated every decision she made.

She followed the conventional path and was on track to achieve a successful corporate career. Until one day, an event occurred that shaped her world forever.

She had a choice - to let fear continue to hold her back, or to go after the life that she desired.

At Life After I Left, Tiffany will share her journey of letting go of the life that was perfect on paper, and coming home to her authentic self.

Tiffany is a Lawyer turned content creator, intuitive mentor and reader. 15 months ago, she quit her full-time job with zero plan and went all in on herself, starting multiple businesses.

Don't miss your chance to hear her inspiring story! 🎤

You'll walk away feeling deeply touched and empowered, knowing that no matter where you are in your journey, you CAN create the life and biz you truly desire.

Join us on 28 May 2026 at Loev Mooarbbin.

What if the answers you’ve been searching for aren’t out there?

But in you.

This week on Life After I Left, I’m joined by Debbie Zita, TEDx speaker, author, and creator of the Six Selves Model.

And this conversation? It’s an invitation to slow the hell down.

Because Debbie’s story isn’t about quick fixes or surface-level mindset work.

It’s about moving through trauma, grief, and life-altering experiences, and learning to trust yourself again; and building a business that actually reflects who you are… not who you think you should be

We talk about what “going within” really means:

- How to reconnect with your intuition
- What self-trust actually looks like in real life
- How to choose the right coach or support (and avoid the wrong ones)
- Why your identity and self-worth shape your pricing, your offers, your entire business
- How to build something sustainable from the inside out

Because alignment isn’t a strategy; it’s a relationship with yourself.
If you’ve been feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or like you’re searching for something you can’t quite name - this episode is your reminder: You already hold more answers than you think.

One year of brave voices.

Can you rebuild a business after hitting zero?

Not a dip.
Not a slow month.
Zero.

This week on Life After I Left, I’m joined (again) by Evelyn Lopez Delon, and this is a completely new chapter.

Since her last appearance, everything changed.

Revenue dropped to zero.
The business model no longer worked.
And instead of forcing it, she rebuilt.

From the ground up.

Now?

She’s co-founder of Sales Command, creator of Speak Studio AI, an international speaker, and building a business that actually fits her life.

In this episode, we talk about:

- What really happens when your income disappears overnight
- Rebuilding from scratch (without panic-selling your soul)
- How AI is changing the way we build and scale businesses
- Why your personal brand is your biggest asset
- Scaling without sacrificing your family, your time, or yourself
- Building a business with your partner (and keeping your sanity intact)

This isn’t a “look how easy it is” conversation.

It’s real. It’s honest. And it’s proof that starting again doesn’t mean starting from nothing.

It means starting with experience.

There’s a side to divorce that no one prepares you for.

This week on Life After I Left, I’m joined by Dani Zetzer, principal lawyer, founder of Respect Legal, and host of Diary of a Divorce Lawyer.

With over a decade in family law, Dani has seen what really happens behind closed doors.

The fear.
The confusion.
The power imbalances.
The moments where women don’t know what their rights actually are.

And here’s the truth: most people enter separation completely unprepared.

In this episode, we talk about:

- What coercive control and narcissistic abuse actually look like
- Why getting legal advice before leaving is crucial
- How to safely plan your exit from an unhealthy or abusive relationship
- The emotional and financial realities of separation
- What navigating the court system in Australia really involves
- The impact of divorce and conflict on children

This conversation doesn’t sugar-coat it, but it does give you something powerful.

Clarity.

Because when you understand your options, you make decisions from a place of strength, not fear.

TW: domestic violence, coercive control, and suicidal ideation

What if the most dangerous form of abuse… didn’t leave bruises?

This week on Life After I Left, I’m joined by Marina Garbuio, who shares her experience of living in a relationship shaped by coercive control.

For 16 years, Marina believed what she was experiencing was just the “ups and downs” of marriage.

But behind the scenes, constant criticism, manipulation, intimidation, and psychological abuse slowly eroded her self-worth.

Until one moment changed everything.

A moment that gave her language for what she had been living through all along.

Marina shares what it took to:

- Recognise coercive control (and why it’s so hard to see)
- Leave while pregnant
- Navigate the legal system and post-separation control
- Rebuild her identity, independence, and voice

This conversation is a powerful reminder that abuse isn’t always physical.

And that naming what’s happening can be the first step toward freedom.

If this resonates, or feels close to home, please know you’re not alone 💙

You’re not stuck.

You’re just awesome sauce at overthinking.

And I say that with 💜 but also with a side-eye.

Because what you’re calling “being strategic” is really fear.

You tell yourself you need more clarity, time, info, courses.

Here’s the truth: You don’t need another strategy; you need to make a decision.

And that’s the part that feels like walking into a dark room in a horror movie.

You don’t know what’s in there.
You don’t know if it’s gonna work.
You don’t know if you’re gonna look like a genius or a psycho killer.

So what do you do? You wait. You doubt. You stop altogether.

Meanwhile, the people who are scaling? They’re not less scared than you; they just move anyway.

Messy. Fast. Slightly chaotic.

Clarity isn’t something you wait for; it’s something you earn by going for it.

This stage of biz? It’s a psychological thriller!

Your brain will convince you you’re not ready.
That you should stay where it’s comfortable.

But you just need to make a move.

So if you’re in the messy middle right now… good. 'Coz me too.

And, together, we're gonna figure this s**z out! 🤘🏻

Life After I Left: Podcast party welcomes... Ella Hall as our THIRD speaker!!!

Ella will share her journey from substance use, bulimia and self-abandonment into a new way of living rooted in self-trust, safety, and embodied leadership.

This is not a story about getting clean.

It’s about recognising the deeper patterns… the addiction to people, to performance, to proving, to leaving yourself… and what it actually takes to come home.

And what happens when that pattern shifts.

When instead of abandoning yourself…

you become devoted to yourself.

To your growth.

To your truth.

To your life.

Ella Hall is an embodied leadership mentor, transformational speaker, and the creator of The Platinum Method™ and MAPS™ (Magnetic Attraction Pleasure System).

Don't miss your chance to hear her amazing story! 🎤

You'll walk away feeling deeply touched and empowered, knowing that no matter where you are in your journey, you CAN create the life and biz you truly desire.

How many times would you repeat the same pattern… before you finally chose yourself?

This week on Life After I Left, I’m joined by Linda Kaye, a relationship coach who lived through four divorces before everything shifted.

Not because she wasn’t trying.
Not because she didn’t want love.
But because the patterns were deeper than she realised.

From abandonment at 17…
to decades of survival mode…
to repeating toxic, abusive, and unfulfilling relationships…

Linda shares what it actually takes to break the cycle.

And spoiler: it’s not “finding the right person."

In this episode, we talk about:

- The patterns behind her four marriages and divorces
- Why we keep repeating toxic relationship cycles
- The breathwork session that changed everything
- Learning to choose yourself (without guilt)
- Creating a healthy, aligned relationship after doing the work

Linda’s story is proof that it’s never too late to break the pattern.

Now is the time to break the silence.

Women have been quiet for too long.

Women need to hear your story. Women need to hear your voice.

I'm happy to go first. I'm happy to share my story. I'm happy to take the stage.

And I invite you to come with me.

I invite you to come to our Life After I Left events.
I invite you to be a guest on my podcast.
I invite you into our community.
I invite you to speak up.

There's no better time than right now.

Don't be silent, be unstoppable!

Are you with me? 💜

(This was a 1 min recording challenge at 's 'You're on Mute' tour. We were invited to speak to the camera and share why us, why this, why now).

Is it time for YOU to unmute yourself?

Last week I attended Annelise McCarthy's Melbourne event on her 'You're On Mute' Australian tour.

The event was more emotional than I expected.

Being in a room of 150 women who've kept themselves small, quiet, closed off and finally getting the chance to use their voice in the way that they want to... chills!

We need more spaces for women to come together and use their voice and tell their stories and share their experiences. Women NEED to umute themselves.

Annelise encourages her audience to be audacious; to go after what we really want.

At the event, I took to the mic and shared my dream for next year - to take Life After I Left on an Australian roadshow.

Her history-making audaciousness is truly inspiring and being at this event light a fire under me.

We never know how much time we have, and I don't wanna waste any - I wanna give more women a platform to use their voice.

The ripple effect of women speaking up and sharing their stories is life-changing (I know because it's happened to me AND to my Life After community).

BIG thanks to Annelise and her incredible team 💜
