How Speakers Can Create Change Without Being “Professional Speakers” w/ Cathy Heighter
Welcome back to Getting Speakers Booked — the podcast by speakers, for speakers.
Every episode brings you real stories, real strategies, and real experiences from speakers who are actively building their impact, influence, and income.
In today’s episode, Macy Baxi sits down with Cathy Heighter — a Gold Star mother, advocate, and changemaker — to share an extraordinary story of courage, resilience, and purpose.
After losing her 22-year-old son in Iraq in 2003, Cathy made a decision that would change her life — and the lives of thousands of military families. Instead of staying broken by grief, she chose to ask questions, challenge the system, and fight for change.
If you’re a speaker (or future speaker) who wants to turn pain into purpose, ideas into impact, and stories into meaningful change — this conversation will move you deeply.
