BB26-22 Cate Rainy Arnold is Branding from the Heart.

June 1, 2026June 2, 2026Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Building Your Business with Sara Troy and her guest Cate Rainy Artnold, on air from June 3rd.

I help business owners when they get stuck in branding miscommunication. I often find business owners are struggling to attract the right target audience to their business, customers are confused about what services they offer, or they are making assumptions about the business based on the branding. The root of all of these issues is a visual miscommunication. Often we will visually judge a logo or branded item in about 5 seconds based on colour alone. I help purpose-driven businesses create brands that clearly communicate who you are, what you stand for, and connect you to people who truly value your work. I do this by understanding the core emotional feeling that we want their target audience to feel when looking at their logo, print collateral or illustrations. This visual realignment builds trust with their customers and confidence in the businesses professionalism. It’s a similar feeling to put on a great fitting outfit for a networking meeting that you feel confident in for your business. I want business owners to feel confident about how they visually show up in their business.

A brief narrative of where you started, how you arrived at your current work, and who you are behind the profession.

I started as a visual artist, I was very excited and engaged with my art classes in school. I got a bachelors in graphic design and worked for an agency after school. I decided to start my own business and recently transitioned from part-time running my business to full-time business owner of Cate Rainy Creative. As a business owner, it’s given me the flexibility to work with my strengths and my weaknesses to schedule my days how I like. I also love that I created this business that’s queer and neurodivergent friendly as I’m deeply connected to these communities. This is where my passion for advocacy and business blends into one.

THE FUTURE IS UNPREDICTABLE…

But it does NOT mean you leave your family’s future up to chance!

You are here because you take charge over your family’s future, and consider these factors independently:

My personal mission in life is to help families achieve their freedom. Of course, it varies by family. However, the critical overlap is in financial freedom. Imagine family function if every family can make decisions without financial scarcity , and the children growing up in a household where their upbringing isn’t bound by finances. I am fortunate enough to know at least one way to achieve this, and that’s the method I want to share with the audience. The fact that I’m at an oil and gas company providing direct oil and gas well ownership to investors is just a slice of that mission.

It’s one thing for me to share the concept and roadmap with folks and say good luck. But much more impactful if I can share the roadmap AND give concrete steps to take this year for people. That’s how I can actually achieve impact for families.

I started in the software industry and while the salary was great, life was just passing, with very little freedom to show for it. After close to a decade, it was enough for me. I went off to build my financial freedom first, and then show that path so people have at least one proven way to do it.

26-21 “The Rise of Conscious Rebellion”

May 25, 2026May 20, 2026Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air

“Why People Are Craving Meaning Right Now” Equality, Peace and Good Vibrations

Many people look at the world today and feel as though everything is falling apart. Systems are breaking, trust is eroding, fear is rising, division is everywhere, and humanity seems exhausted by conflict, greed, control, and disconnection. For many, it feels like the end of the world. In many ways, it is — but not necessarily in the way people fear.

Perhaps it is the ending of an old way of living. An old consciousness built upon power over people instead of empowerment of people. A world driven by greed instead of service, division instead of unity, consumption instead of care, and fear instead of understanding. The structures we built no longer sustain the soul of humanity, and what no longer serves life must eventually give way to something new.

Throughout history, humanity has gone through periods of collapse and rebirth. We are now standing in one of those profound transitional moments. The old systems are cracking because people are awakening. They are questioning what they have been taught, questioning leadership, questioning priorities, questioning what success truly means, and questioning why so many feel disconnected from themselves, from one another, and from life itself.

This is where conscious rebellion begins.

Not rebellion through hatred, violence, destruction, or revenge, but rebellion through awareness, compassion, empathy, accountability, and courageous humanity. It is the rebellion of people refusing to surrender their hearts to fear. Refusing to dehumanize one another. Refusing to allow anger and division to strip away kindness, common sense, and dignity.

Conscious rebellion is choosing compassion in a world profiting from outrage. It is choosing understanding when division is easier. It is standing for truth without losing humanity. It is recognizing that we cannot create a better future using the same consciousness that created the suffering we are now experiencing.

The rise of higher consciousness is not about perfection or superiority. It is about awakening to the understanding that every action affects the collective. That empathy matters. That how we treat one another matters. That humanity cannot survive if we continue operating without care for one another, for the planet, or for future generations.

What is being born now is not weakness, but a different kind of strength — a strength rooted in emotional intelligence, collaboration, compassion, responsibility, and conscious action. People are beginning to realize that domination is not leadership, cruelty is not power, and manipulation is not wisdom.

The old world may indeed be ending, but endings are often the birthplace of transformation. Just as forests burn so new growth may emerge, humanity too may be moving through a painful but necessary shedding. The question is not whether change is coming. The question is what consciousness we choose to carry into what comes next.

Will we continue feeding fear, anger, greed, and separation?
Or will we fuel the rise of empathy, compassion, understanding, and conscious humanity?

The future will be shaped by that choice.

Reinvention in Midlife: From Overwhelm to Clarity

I help midlife women who feel overwhelmed, scattered, or unfulfilled reconnect with themselves and create a life that feels aligned with who they are. My work is rooted in the belief that clarity doesn’t come from doing more, it comes from making decisions and honoring where you are. Through my own journey of navigating debt, uncertainty, reinvention, and starting over in a new country, I learned that growth isn’t about becoming someone new, but about returning to yourself. Today, through my work as a Clarity and Growth Coach, the Life Mastery Magazine, and the Life Mastery Circle, I support women in moving from confusion to clarity, from pressure to self-trust, and from simply coping to consciously creating a life that truly fits who they are now.

The Journey of Becoming: From Inner Saboteurs to Soulful Strength

There are several ways that I came to the realm of healing and helping. I have long believed that whatever has been a struggle in my life, that I have been able to overcome, has within it some knowledge or experience that can help another find their own way through their difficulty or transformation.

The keys I have uncovered that I believe are the most significant in any life journey are: Being present to the WHEN we are living; Integrating the head and the heart; Learning how to have healthy boundaries; and Learning how to communicate that which is our truth.

I could speak for hours about parts of self, the archetypes that are our saboteurs or champions, and the specialness of finding the true spark that makes us know without a doubt that we are meant to be here. And that, the spark, although it sounds the hardest to people, is really the simplest, because we were born with it. The rest is taught.

For me, seeking, knowing there was more than the obvious, more than the physical world, made me a seeker – going deep early on. My own trials and tribulations, insecurities, and struggles were abundant- as was my strength. Life, specifically early trauma, taught me strength, fear, survival, self-preservation, and the ways to move on and eventually heal. That has made me the clinician I have been. Add wisdom and a great education to that, and the tools I have to help are immense.

Early stories of my work and the inspiration it brought are many, but later expanding the work by recognizing that I could integrate my knowledge of energy, medicine, mind/body, and an individual’s strengths as healing tools led to a more exciting and full methodology. I love to help people think outside the box, understand their early conditioning, and create the life they want to live and explore the work they are meant to do in the world.

I began as a teenage seeker. Majored in Anthropology, Art History, and Studio Art in College. I chose to go to graduate school in Art Therapy and become a licensed and board-certified art therapist because of one little boy, whom I met doing field work, who was afraid to go home because he lived on a dangerous street.

I’ve been working as a transformational coach and psychotherapist for over 40 years. I’ve worked in inpatient and outpatient psychiatry. I have a private coaching practice and a separate clinical private practice. Over the years, I created multiple psycho educational courses for men, women, involving readings, meditations, conversation- an exciting experience for all, including me. I work extensively with couples as well as all relationships. How we communicate is key as is how we feel about ourselves and couples. I’ve studied theosophy, multiple spiritual teachings, energy modalities, and neuroscience. I have come now to be working and playing in the sacred. Because all of this work we do with each other is simply sacred.
