How Realtor & Mom of Two, Cathryn Howland, Transformed Her Business, Marriage, and Energy
In this episode of the Dream It Do It podcast, I sit down with my past client and friend, Cathryn Howland, a successful Realtor and busy mom of two, who shares her powerful story of going from scattered and reactive to focused, energized, and truly present in all areas of her life.
Cathryn’s transformation wasn’t about doing more — it was about creating the right systems, clarity, and rhythms so she could do the right things well. In our conversation, she opens up about the business results she’s achieved, the shifts she’s made in her personal life, and the deeper fulfillment she’s experiencing as a result.
Why Cathryn Reached Out for Coaching
When Cathryn and I first started working together in High Performance Coaching, she was juggling her thriving real estate business, raising two young kids, and managing the demands of home life and community involvement.
On paper, she was doing it all — but inside, she felt scattered, reactive, and overextended. She described feeling like she was “constantly catching up” and never truly present at work or at home.
The Breakthrough: Creating Clarity and Systems
From our very first sessions, it became clear that Cathryn didn’t need to hustle harder — she needed structure and clarity. We worked together to:
- Clarify her top priorities so she could filter decisions and protect her time
- Build a repeatable daily rhythm that fueled her energy instead of draining it
- Establish clear boundaries so she could fully unplug and be present with her family
- Focus on high-value outreach activities that moved the needle in her business
The Results: Business Growth, Stronger Relationships, More Energy
Cathryn’s results speak for themselves:
“Working with Molly has been life-changing… and I don’t think I’ve ever said that about a coaching program I’ve been through.”
In Q1 of 2025, she is on track to nearly double her best year yet, and her outreach has tripled. Her business results are up, but so is her personal joy:
- Her marriage is stronger than it’s been since before having kids
- She’s ending her days with presence, not anxiety
- She’s taking intentional time off during the week without guilt
- She’s enjoying evenings, weekends, and family time more than ever
Why Presence Matters Just as Much as Performance
Cathryn’s story is a reminder that real success isn’t just about hitting bigger numbers — it’s about feeling aligned, connected, and in control of your time. For her, the shift in energy and focus has impacted every area of her life.
As she says in the episode:
“My marriage hasn’t been this strong since before we started our family five years ago. I’m ending my days with presence — evenings, weekends, even taking time off during the week — without anxiety about it.”
