Pain to Purpose

Cathy Studer is a resilience warrior with a pen in one hand and purpose in the other. A survivor turned speaker, she transforms pain into power and equips both kids and adults to thrive—not just survive. Through her award-winning book series The Adventures of Gus and Pasha and her breakthrough memoir Broken to Beautifully Whole, Cathy delivers hope like a heartbeat: steady, strong, and full of life. Whether she’s lighting up a classroom, crafting slides on perspective, or dropping egg-splat analogies that make preschoolers giggle, her mission is clear—build strong minds and even stronger hearts. Empowerment is her superpower, and she’s here to share it.
