## Resource

In this episode, I sit down with Cathy Skinner, who many of you know from Below Deck. We talk about why she chose yachting, what working on yachts is actually like, and what reality TV looks like behind the scenes once the cameras are on and off. Cathy opens up about navigating social media and public attention, how quickly opinions become part of your everyday life, and what surprised her most about seeing herself on screen. We also touch on personal loss, grief, and growth. Including what helped her through the hardest moments and how she protects her mental health now. This is an honest, balanced conversation about career, visibility, and where Cathy is at today, plus a fun rapid-fire round you won’t want to miss.
