How I Can Support You
I use strategic testing to dial in on what works for your reality, your audience, your special sauce, and your mission.
I build my hypotheses on behavioral and cognitive science findings, past client experience and market observations. I attune them to your reality.
We test these hypotheses.
We optimize what's working.
We adjust what's not.
We build marketing that doesn't require you to transcend your humanity.
Because high-skill doesn't mean high-capacity.
And let's face it -- you and I -- we know that already.
Business with a Healing Brain Substack
I write about building business systems around your actual life.
Deconditioning from achievement-as-self-worth.
Choosing to let go of performance in favor of passion, peace & purpose.
Working notes, not polished advice.
Strategy Deep-Dive
$650 - $850
A 36-hour async analysis where we:
Review your current approach, analytics, audience data
Identify what's actually working (and why)
Spot any necessity - reality gaps
Deliver strategic recommendations based your specific resources, needs, constraints
Show you my process so you can decide if you want to keep working together
This is usually the first step for all my consulting clients.
You get actionable strategy whether we continue or not.
Strategic Retainer
$2,000 - $2,500/month
(or $150/hour + revenue share)
Monthly strategy guidance (calls+async) where we:
Test marketing approaches systematically
Analyze what's resonating (and what's not)
Optimize based on real data from your audience
Iterate until we find what works for your reality
Connect you with execution support when needed
This is an ongoing strategic partnership.
We experiment, test, optimize.
No cookie-cutter playbooks.

Patrice Poltzer
Storytelling Coach & former Today Show Producer
"Her process is impeccable. Thorough initial analysis, data-based decisions along the way, perfect organization, timing and project management. All that combined expectedly leads to an amazing result."
Maksim Matrenitckii
CEO of Cyberian Mine GmbH
"I was in the middle of a massive rehaul of my business. I was so close to it and couldn't quite fit all the pieces. I'd invested thousands in coaches and containers and it fell short because they couldn't understand my vision. Cathy understood my vision so deeply in such a unique and powerful way."

Frequently Asked Questions
What if I need execution help, beyond strategy?
I can connect you with trusted partners for execution (copywriters, designers, tech implementers) or I can guide you in executing yourself. The retainer includes helping you coordinate execution support.
Can I do async-only or do we need calls?
I love async and can do mostly async if that works better for your brain. Most retainer clients do 1-2 calls per month + ongoing async support. We figure out what rhythm works for you.
What does "behavioral science" actually mean... like in practice?
I use principles from behavioral economics and cognitive psychology to understand why people make decisions and how to remove friction between their values and actions. Less pressure tactics, more understanding what actually drives behavior.
How long does it take to see results?
Depends on what we're testing and your implementation capacity. Some things show up in weeks (referral systems, conversion optimization). Others take months (audience building, brand positioning). We optimize for sustainable growth, not quick wins that burn you out.
