On the Live The Width of Your Life podcast, we explore what it means to not only live the length of our life but instead the breadth, depth, and purpose of each day.

She shares her personal story of creating balance in her life by aligning her daily choices to life values, strategies to redefine success, and creating space for a bit of magic and synchronicity.

It's never too late to change! We don't need to have it all figured out to begin; we can take action daily, show up imperfectly, and be amazed and inspired by how beautiful life can be.

What if success isn’t the problem… but the version of you that created it?

Many high achievers spend decades building a life that looks successful on the outside, yet feels incomplete on the inside. The roles, the expectations, the identity you’ve carried for years… eventually, they stop fitting.

In this episode, Katherine Dudtschak shares her deeply personal journey from 40 years in corporate leadership, including serving as a bank CEO, to living fully aligned with her true self.

Her story is not a single moment of change. It’s a series of awakenings, collapses, and courageous choices that led her back to who she has always been.

We talk about identity, gender, leadership, mental health, and the hidden cost of living disconnected from your truth. Katherine opens up about coming out later in life, navigating fear, rejection, and uncertainty, and what happened when she chose to be fully seen.

She also shares how vulnerability in leadership creates deeper connection, unlocks human potential, and builds more compassionate, inclusive environments.

This conversation is about more than authenticity.
It’s about remembering who you were before the world told you who to be.

In This Episode You’ll Learn:

What it means to live authentically after years of performing
How identity, gender, and life transitions shape your sense of self
Why disconnection from your true self impacts mental health
How to move through fear, rejection, and uncertainty
The power of vulnerability in leadership and human connection
