Cathy Hunt
What makes you successful?
I believe you don’t wait for opportunity, but create it. Focus on goals rather than obstacles. These traits are instrumental in my practice where I represent clients with complex marital estates that sometimes need creative solutions to negotiate a settlement that will be equitable and realistic.
What makes you most proud?
First and foremost being the mother of my children, Jack and Olivia, who are the greatest gift of my life. But, also having the trust of my clients who are going through the most difficult time of their life and being able to help them successfully make that transition.
Where do you get inspiration?
My parents. Both from the “Greatest Generation” and with military service in two wars taught these lessons by example: work hard, be a good friend, travel the world, take risks, and help others less fortunate.

Barb Blair Where do you get inspiration?
My Mom. She’s 88 now and still living a wonderful life -- and has always encouraged and supported me in any endeavor; and she taught me by example to be kind.
What makes you successful?
I have a vision for my life, clarity around what I want my life to be. A big part of that is providing something of value to other people through our fitness business and then also taking time to enjoy life.
What makes you most proud?
Being a small business owner! I was in the corporate world for over 35 years, ran a non-profit for 7, and nothing compares to the highs and lows, the challenges and rewards of owning your own business. I am so grateful for the opportunity that brought me to this wonderful community.
