She's been to 150 countries. Published ten bestselling books. Built a global platform most people dream of. And learned that none of it was the answer.

Catherine DeVrye has spent two decades helping organisations and leaders turn obstacles into opportunities. But somewhere on those roads less travelled, she realised the real obstacle was internal.

Today, she's here to talk about hope that's earned, resilience that sticks, and why the woman who has built a career, a life, everything, only to find it no longer fits, might be standing exactly where she needs to be.

What I love about Catherine is I still remember the day I met her. Boat in Sydney.


Key Takeaways

New Book: Beyond Timbuktu is a travel memoir challenging media narratives by showing the kindness of people in places like Iran and Saudi Arabia.

Resilience: Built through travel's constant problem-solving and reframing challenges as "first-world problems" to maintain perspective.

Midlife Adventure: Devrye and Jefferies are part of a growing trend of women over 50 pursuing physical challenges like surf lifesaving and surfing.

Core Message: The only regret is not telling loved ones you care while you have the chance.
