From Trauma to Triumph: Daria Burke Teaches Us How to Come Home to Ourselves

What if the pain you’ve been carrying isn’t meant to break you, but to awaken you? In this powerful and tender conversation, Catt sits down with Daria Burke — former fashion and tech executive turned author of the stunning new memoir Of My Own Making — to explore how we can heal from trauma, rewire our brains, and reclaim our stories. Daria shares the truth of her difficult childhood, her estranged relationship with her mother, and the many ways she’s returned to herself — through therapy, meditation, ancestral connection, and the science of neuroplasticity. From boardrooms at Facebook and L’Oréal to spiritual breakthroughs and swinging on a playground as an act of self-care, Daria’s story is a masterclass in resilience, self-inquiry, and becoming the woman you needed. This episode will stay with you — especially if you’ve ever felt trapped by your past, unsure of how to begin again, or curious about how healing actually works.

Some stories shape us in ways we don’t even realize—until we take a step back and see the bigger picture. In this solo episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on two untold tales from my past: the unexpected way I found myself on the set of Hoosiers as a little girl (a moment that unknowingly shaped my career path), and the time I went on a date with one of the most brilliant minds in Hollywood, Aaron Sorkin. But this isn’t just about fun anecdotes—it’s about how saying yes to certain moments can make lasting impact and how true transformation happens when we bravely revisit, heal, and rewrite our own stories.  If you’re ready to take ownership of your past and step into your power, this episode is your invitation.

On this inspiring episode of CATT SADLER NOW, acclaimed best-selling author and thought leader Brianna Wiest joins us for a transformative conversation. Known for her influential works like The Mountain Is You and 101 Essays That Will Change The Way You Think, Brianna captivates millions with her insights on personal growth and inner wisdom. Listeners are in for an extra treat as she teases her new book, The Life That’s Waiting, which drops tomorrow. Brianna opens up by sharing a personal anecdote about a cherished dress kept in her closet—a symbol of readiness for life’s big breakthroughs (like maybe waiting for The Call from Oprah!) This delightful metaphor serves as a powerful reminder that we often prepare ourselves, sometimes in the smallest ways, for those transformative moments that can change our lives forever. Diving deeper, Brianna emphasizes that the journey toward deeper truth is an internal one. Rather than waiting for an external sign, she urges us to recognize that the clarity we seek already resides within us. This realization marks not an ending, but the exciting beginning of a new chapter—one where embracing vulnerability paves the way for personal evolution and the unveiling of our unique gifts. Today’s conversation will leave you with renewed inspiration and practical insights on turning moments of uncertainty into stepping stones toward a richer, more authentic life.
