Broad Stripes, Bright Stars and Banned Passports

About Catherine
For women who are facing major life changes, I am a writer and podcaster who explores global themes from diverse perspectives to help people suspend their default assumptions about how things “should be done.”
My multi-cultural background and experiences as a Filipina/American/Canadian in Europe for 20+ years have made me culturally-astute at embracing “the new normal.” I try to approach it all with sensitivity, humour, authenticity and kindness.
