Throughout the episode, Cat shares the mindset shifts that happen when you take action with content during the challenge and why everyone needs to join. Want in? Join us below!

I am hosting the most popular, most impactful, most in-demand challenge to the public - The Cringe Challenge.

This is the no-fluff challenge, the “f**k Canva slowing me down” challenge. This is the scrappy but impactful challenge.

You will challenge yourself to post more pieces of authentic content in 3 days than some of you do in a month.

I want these three days to be the biggest middle finger to all the marketing rules that are slowing you down.

This challenge is all about embracing the ~cringe~ that happens after publishing something real, something honest, something imperfect.

For 3 days, I dare you to play, to have a little fun, and let the fucking perfection go.
