Catherine Hammond brings wisdom, storytelling, and a new perspective to the tricky areas of life, blending her vast experience with families over thirty years as an estate attorney and her own deeply human story. She is no stranger to the ups and downs of real life, having navigated many personal challenges including her mother’s early-onset dementia when Catherine was still a teenager and her husband’s incurable cancer, as well as walking with thousands of families through some of the most difficult moments of their lives. Each It’s About Time episode will help you live bravely and fully in the ups and downs of your real life.
Episode 4: A Better Way to Enoughness - It’s About Time with Catherine Hammond
If you’ve ever felt like you can’t quite get “there” in life, experienced burnout, or wondered how to get your own needs met, too, you’re going to love this conversation. This week’s episode features one of the people I admire most, Dr. Mandy Lehto, and appropriately enough our conversation starts by triggering my own “I’m not enough” insecurities. Mandy’s insight and wisdom comes from her own experiences as a high achiever and many years working with others on creating more fun and ease in their lives. A few things we touch on in this rich episode:
Why we’re never satisfied
Recognizing and breaking free from defense mechanisms (we all have them)
Mandy’s top tip for all of us (it’s such a good one!)
Dr. Mandy Lehto is a coach for fast-paced executives whose lives look shiny on the outside but inside they're secretly burnt out. She is the host of Enough, the podcast, a mash-up of deeply human conversations and expert advice on swapping perfectionism and overachieving for a more easeful life.

Episode 3: I’m Dying, How Are You? - It’s About Time with Catherine Hammond
How are we supposed to live with the knowledge that we, and everyone we love, are here for only a limited time? Most of us try to avoid thinking about it, but in this episode I recommend a different approach, one that can truly help you fall in love with the life you actually have, no matter what that looks like for you on any given day. Engaging with the light and the dark, the full spectrum of living, is one of the surest paths to deeper, more fulfilling, more satisfying life and relationships.
In this episode we talk about:
My husband’s dance with cancer and our dance with his mortality
We can’t fully feel joy unless we also let ourselves feel other emotions
Everyone has pain in life, the key is to integrate it
Living with an awareness of mortality is the best path to a life you truly love

Episode 2: Making Friends with the Crazy in Leadership and Life - It’s About Time with Catherine Hammond
Many people think that once you have career success you no longer have problems with confidence. If you’ve achieved success, the voices that tell you you’re not good enough or can’t handle whatever challenge is in front of you can still be loud. And they’re liars. Today’s guest is Donna Carlson, an accomplished leader herself who is committed to bringing the mental monkeys out of the closet so that we can make friends with them and unleash our own brilliance. Donna shares her own story of trying to hold it together at work when internally things felt like they were falling apart. Listen in to learn how to normalize the conversation about mental wellbeing at work.
