“This book feels like going on a road trip with that super cool zen friend – who always has the best intuition about when to take a detour, checking out roadside attractions and sucking the marrow out of every moment.”

Candid, vulnerable, wise
Belonging is a book that’s meant to be savored
- Binge reads are great. But how about a book that has the potential to change your life, one interactive chapter at a time?
- Like Catherine’s approach to coaching, Belonging draws you in, makes you think - and act! The words on the page feel like a warm hug and the journaling prompts at the end each chapter are a gentle reminder of your greatness.
- So grab your comfiest sweats, your favorite drink, and sit with Belonging in a sunny corner. Keep a notebook nearby.
- We invite you to read, reflect, and take a moment to connect with your inner knowing - soon you’ll realize that accepting yourself, loving yourself, takes less achieving and doing than you ever thought!
Belonging is for you if you’ve ever asked yourself…
How do I give myself permission to dream that everything I deeply desire is possible for me?
How do I tune out the noise and tune in to what I want?
How do I quit saying ‘YES!’ when I want to say no (and not stress about it later)?
How do I let my guard down, stop bracing for impact, and show up as my full self?

About The Author
Catherine Wood believes that we each hold within us the capacity to be deeply joyful and content. With an incredibly positive and optimistic outlook on life, Catherine has achieved a state of intrinsic happiness throughout her personal journey.
Years ago, she found herself emotionally misguided and searching. Looking for answers on how to fill that looming sense of emptiness from within, Wood attempted to fill the void through the relentless pursuit of achievement and external accolades. She spent much of the next decade traveling the world and searching for the answers that she now shares in her book, Belonging: Overcome Your Inner Critic and Reclaim Your Joy. With a voracious appetite for both new adventures and meaningful conversation, her laugh will cause you to smile and her vulnerability will help access your own.
Expanding Your Capacity to Receive in Business, Life, and Love
In this episode of the Prosperous Empath® Podcast, I’m continuing the series on challenges that empaths and HSPs often struggle with and sharing practices, mindset shifts, and tips on how to overcome them. The topic of this episode – expanding your capacity to receive – has been one of the greatest transformations for me over the last decade and it’s something I routinely explore with clients. In life, there is an inherent polarity between givers and takers, and the majority of empaths and HSPs overidentify as givers. There are amazing benefits to being a talented giver (which is why many empaths thrive as service providers), but it can also be hard to allow yourself to receive and have your needs met, whether it’s in business partnerships or romantic relationships, to name just a few. In this episode, you’ll learn why empaths often struggle with giving too much of themselves, the consequences of this tendency, and how to nurture your ability to receive more and better.
