About Me

---

I spent twenty-five years mastering the architecture of the details. In the high-stakes world of law, I made my mark as a Paralegal, the one who kept the engine running, the one who saw the missing comma in a hundred-page brief, and the one who understood that Grit is the backbone of every victory. I navigated the deadlines and the demands, building a career on precision, reliability, and the kind of work ethic that doesn't know how to quit. I was the master of everyone else’s systems. But eventually, I realized that while I was busy protecting the fine print, my own narrative was waiting for a rewrite. So, I decided to re-index. 

The Lounge is the result of that transition. It’s a space I built for the woman I am becoming and for the women like me who are ready to trade the "all-or-nothing" grind for something more sustainable and significantly more luxurious. I still believe in the sharp precision of a well-organized life and the discipline of a 4x-weekly gym protocol. But now, I pair that professional edge with the warmth of a vinyl record, the sanctity of a closed office door at 5:00 PM, and the unapologetic pursuit of Grace. I’m not here to tell you how to "do more." I’m here to share how I’m using my decades of strategic experience to be more. Whether we’re discussing the tactical shift of a midlife career or the perfect pour of a midnight martini, I’m glad you’re in the room.

With Grit & Grace,

Catherine
