We’re so glad you’re here! We wanted to take a moment to share a bit about who we are and what drives us. We’re two women deeply passionate about advocating for women’s health in every sense of the word. Catharine (Catie) Whiting, a mental health professional, and Lindsey Lang, a Life Coach for Women, came together through a networking group—and we quickly realized we shared a common mission: to c

reate safe, open spaces for women to talk about the health topics that often go unaddressed. Our goal is simple: to inform, empower, and inspire women to feel confident in advocating for themselves and their well-being. We believe in building a community where women can support each other through this journey we call life. Through Beneath the Surface, we bring together diverse health professionals from across Chattanooga to offer a variety of perspectives on the physical, mental, and emotional aspects of women’s health. We’d love for you to join us, whether in person or virtually. Follow us to stay up-to-date on our upcoming events. We can’t wait to connect and build a community of empowered women together!

Burnout has many faces.

Sometimes it looks like exhaustion.
Sometimes it looks like overthinking, irritability, brain fog, emotional numbness, hormone shifts, constant researching, feeling disconnected from yourself, or trying to hold everything together while quietly falling apart underneath it all.

For many women, burnout has become so normalized that they no longer recognize it for what it is.

But burnout is not just “being busy.”
It’s the cumulative emotional, mental, physical, hormonal, and invisible load women carry for too long without enough support, understanding, or recovery.

And when left unaddressed, burnout can begin impacting:
• mental health
• hormones
• relationships
• sleep
• nervous system regulation
• physical health
• identity and confidence

That’s why it’s so important to learn the signs, acknowledge what your body and mind are trying to communicate, and begin finding ways to move out of survival mode and into support, clarity, and healing.

At Beneath the Surface, we believe women deserve deeper conversations, real education, and spaces where they don’t have to carry it all alone.

✨ Join us September 26, 2026 as we explore the many faces of burnout and how women can begin reconnecting with themselves again.

Burnout in women doesn’t always look obvious.

Sometimes it looks like:
• constantly feeling mentally “on”
• exhaustion that rest doesn’t fix
• irritability or emotional numbness
• over-researching your health and trying to “fix” yourself
• feeling disconnected from your body, relationships, or joy

The reality is that women are carrying more than ever before. Mental load, hormonal stress, emotional labor, wellness overwhelm, caregiving, pressure to perform… it adds up.

And burnout is not just about being busy.
It’s about carrying too much for too long without enough support.

This year at Beneath the Surface, we’re exploring the many faces of burnout across women’s health, mental health, hormones, relationships, identity, and modern womanhood.

✨ Join us on September 26, 2026 for a day of real conversations, expert insight, community, and healing.

You weren’t meant to carry it all alone.

Happy Mother’s Day to every woman who nurtures, loves, guides, protects, supports, encourages, and shows up with a mother’s heart.

Today, we honor biological mothers, bonus moms, adoptive mothers, foster moms, grandmothers, mentors, spiritual mothers, pet moms, women longing to become mothers, and the women who mother others simply through their presence and care.

At Beneath the Surface, we recognize that motherhood is not defined by biology alone. It is found in compassion, sacrifice, strength, and unconditional love.

To every woman carrying the role of “mother” in any form: we see you, we celebrate you, and we thank you.

With love,
Catie & Lindsey

✨ Happy Birthday to our co-creator Lindsey Lang ✨

Today we celebrate a woman who truly embodies what it means to live beneath the surface.

Lindsey, your integrity, your confidence, and your willingness to grow, evolve, and challenge the norm is something powerful to witness. You don’t just talk about change… you live it. And because of that, you create space for so many other women to do the same.

Watching you step into every season boldly, honestly, and unapologetically, has been a beautiful thing to be a part of. From co-creating Beneath the Surface to celebrating this moment in your 40 Over 40 shoot, you continue to inspire what it looks like to fully show up as yourself.

We are so thankful for women like you, leaders, visionaries, and absolute badasses, who are changing the narrative for what’s possible.

🥂 Cheers to you, Lindsey, and to many more years of impact, growth, and living fully

Burnout isn’t just a buzzword… it’s a reality for women everywhere.

And our recent survey confirmed it. 💔
So many of you shared that you’re feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and stretched thin.

💔 More than half of working women say their mental health is impacted by burnout
💔 6 in 10 women in leadership report frequent burnout
💔 Women consistently report higher burnout than men

(According to recent studies by CNBC x SurveyMonkey and LeanIn.Org)

And yet… we keep pushing.
We keep showing up.
We keep carrying it all.

At Beneath the Surface, we believe it’s time to talk about what’s REALLY going on beneath the surface of our lives.

✨ Take a moment to check out our survey results. We see you in every response.

You are not alone. And you don’t have to keep doing it all on empty.

📲 Follow us to stay connected as we continue this conversation on Saturday, September 5th in Chattanooga, TN at the 3rd Annual Beneath the Surface Women's Summit.

In the meantime....

👇 Tell us: What does burnout look like for YOU right now?

✨ Beneath the Surface – Easter Reflection ✨

Easter can hold many meanings for many people…
A time of faith, a time of reflection, a time of renewal.

For us, it’s a gentle reminder that no matter what season you’ve been walking through there is always space for new beginnings.

Growth doesn’t have to be loud or dramatic.
Sometimes it’s quiet.
Sometimes it’s choosing rest.
Sometimes it’s setting a boundary or giving yourself a little more compassion.

Wherever you are today, you’re allowed to honor your journey.

This Easter, we invite you to reflect:

What feels ready for a fresh start in your life?

Wishing you a peaceful and meaningful Easter whatever it looks like for you.

✨ Drink water
✨ Move your body

Tell us...What’s your self-care “lucky charm” today?

The biggest takeaway we’ve had as co-creators of Beneath the Surface?

Women in ALL stages of life can relate.

From young adulthood… to motherhood… to perimenopause… to menopause… and beyond — the common thread is this:

“Oh my gosh… you’ve dealt with this too?”

We’ve watched 25-year-olds nod in agreement with 55-year-olds.
We’ve watched stories bridge decades.
We’ve watched women realize they were never alone.

Different seasons. Same shared humanity.

That’s the power of bringing women together in one room.

If you’ve ever felt like you were the only one navigating something — this space is for you.

Join us for our 3rd Annual Beneath the Surface Summit on September 5, 2026 and experience what happens when women gather, learn, and grow together.

Follow along for women’s health, mental health, empowerment, and community.
