Return
You’re not broken. You’re just burnt out on trying to be someone you’re not.
Return is the podcast for conscious entrepreneurs, sensitive visionaries, and healers who’ve checked all the boxes—and are still wondering, “Why doesn’t this feel right?”
Hosted by Caitlan Siegenthaler—former therapist turned business energy strategist blending Human Design, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and soulful strategy—Return isn’t about forcing yourself into someone else’s blueprint. It’s about coming home to your own.
This isn’t hustle hype or spiritual bypassing disguised as business advice. It’s honest, nuanced, often irreverent conversations for the biz owner who’s outgrown performative success and wants to build something that actually feels good.
✨ Tune in for solo episodes and guest convos that help you:
- Navigate seasons of change (without losing yourself)
- Reclaim your energy and decision-making power
- Build a business that honors your gifts and nervous system
- Explore who you really are—beneath the shoulds
Whether you’re in the midst of a pivot, healing from burnout, or finally ready to trust your intuition again—Return is your reminder that you’re not lost. You’re just on your way home.
Let’s begin.

Episode 75: The True Cost of Integrity in Business
In this episode of Return, Caitlan Siegenthaler gets real about integrity in business—the kind that doesn’t just sound good on a sales page, but actually feels good in your body. From marketing tactics that made her soul cringe to public pivots that required big doses of courage, Caitlan shares personal stories and sharp insights about building a business that doesn’t force you to abandon yourself. If you’ve ever questioned a coach’s flashy promise, felt weird about your own launch strategy, or wondered if you’re “behind” for doing things your way, this one’s for you.
