They say the job you lose is the one that sets you free. At 49 years old, after 16 and a half years of loyal service, that freedom felt a lot like freefall. Join your host as she shares the raw, real, and ultimately redemptive story of being pushed out of the life she knew and into the one she was truly meant to live. "Killing Me Softly" is an intimate audio diary of transformation—navigating the shock of a sudden career end, the messy middle of self-discovery through faith in God, therapy, and the bold decision to redefine success on her terms. It’s a story about dismantling who you were told to be to finally uncover who you were created to be. If you've ever felt lost, overlooked, or wondered if it's "too late" to start over, this is the conversation you've been waiting for.
Join your host, Cat Branch, every other week for a raw and honest look at what it takes to reinvent yourself. You’ll get a dose of faith and courage.
Cat Branch shares personal health and professional updates, discusses current reading and listening interests, and announces progress on a new side hustle.

A Good Work
I am so excited about the road ahead! Thank you to each of you who listened to the first season of the podcast. The road ahead is different from anything I have experienced before, and although it is scary at times, I know that I am exactly where God intends for me, and I will be grateful for the table that is prepared for me. I am sure of this, that he who started a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. Phillipians 1:6 I'll talk to you in May. ...
