Exactly what I needed!

Designing Success was exactly what I needed right now—and hearing Catherine Connelly narrate it herself just made it hit that much harder. There’s no fluff here. It’s honest, it’s grounded, and she makes career advice feel both practical and personal—like she’s sitting across from you with a cup of coffee, telling it like it is.

The section on setting boundaries was a standout for me. Catherine doesn’t just tell you why boundaries matter—she walks you through how to set them in a way that works in real life. And the best part? There are built-in activities throughout the audiobook. You’re not just passively listening; you’re actually thinking things through as you go, which made it feel way more actionable.

Whether you're building a business, managing a career, or just trying to be more intentional with your time and energy, there’s so much value here. This isn’t just another “hustle harder” book. It’s smart, grounded, and full of genuinely helpful advice. Totally recommend listening—it feels like mentorship in your ears.
