The Catapult Effect
The Catapult Effect is a podcast for entrepreneurs who look successful on the outside, but are carrying more than is sustainable on the inside.
Season 4 centers on one core theme: creating more ease in the life of the entrepreneur. Season 4 is scheduled to begin in March 2026.
Each week, host Katie Wrigley shares grounded, practical conversations with guests who help reduce pressure — not add to it. Guests include practitioners, strategists, and experts working in areas such as nervous-system support, ethical AI, automation, SEO, addiction and craving support, and other approaches that make business and life more sustainable.
Episodes are released weekly and often structured in two parts (15–20 minutes each), allowing for focused conversations that respect attention and nervous-system capacity.This show is designed for entrepreneurs who have already “done the work,” yet still feel stretched, overwhelmed, or quietly struggling — whether in their business, their body, or their day-to-day life.
Season 2 is dedicated to first responders.
Season 3 focuses on professionals.
Don't miss out on Season 1 when it was known as The Pain Changer®. Discover valuable wisdom on pain management and various techniques to reduce pain.

How Healing Childhood Trauma Doubled a Client's Business

Summary: In this special solo episode, Katie shares a real client story with full permission and under a pseudonym. Her client Sharon doubled her business in just two months and Katie walks through exactly what they worked on to make that possible.
It was not a new sales strategy or marketing overhaul. It was two Cognomovement sessions, one month apart, where they worked through a lifelong pattern of disappointment and a deeply held belief that there was something wrong with her body, a belief Sharon had carried since age four.
Katie then pulls back the curtain on exactly how trauma creates toxic belief systems, how those beliefs distort our view of the world, and how Cognomovement reverses that cycle to create a new resourceful nervous system pattern that directly translates into business growth. This is one of the clearest explanations of why what is happening beneath the surface matters more than any strategy.
Key Takeaways
→ You are one person with one nervous system. What is happening in your personal life is impacting your business whether you are aware of it or not.
→ 95% of what we experience daily comes from the subconscious mind. Only 5% is conscious. The patterns running your life are mostly invisible to you.
→ Sharon got further in four sessions than she had in two years of talk therapy. The difference is working directly with the nervous system rather than only the conscious mind.
→ A trauma does not have to be catastrophic. Any event where your needs were not met can be tracked by the nervous system as a trauma, including something as small as not getting a popsicle when your sister did.
→ Toxic belief systems create a distorted lens. Through that lens, life looks like proof that you are not enough, that people are out to hurt you, that love is dangerous and that success will be punished.
→ The body holds the story. Chakra Talk is a technique Katie uses to let each energy center speak and reveal what emotional patterns it is carrying.
→ The nervous system never reveals more than you can handle. The brain will not bring up something you are not ready to process.
→ Cognomovement neutralizes the emotional impact of the trauma and creates space for the healthy belief system to take root. You do not have to re-live the event to heal it.
→ When the toxic belief dissolves, the whole experience of life shifts. Miracles feel normal. Peace becomes your baseline. Rest becomes productive instead of guilty.
→ Sharon's business doubled in two months. Not because of a new strategy. Because of two sessions working on patterns that had been running since childhood.
