Michelle Icard: Middle School Maven

Out of Line with Cat Poland ·

2021/04/27

Oh, middle school. That dreaded time of adolescence when awkward is the side dish served with every entree. **RECORD SCRATCH** Hold up. What if we looked it again? Reconsidered the potential these precious years hold, rather than just grin (or grimace) and bear it? Yes, these years can be hard, but there’s so much more that’s worth exploring.In this episode, I talk with my friend Michelle Icard, author of several books on middle school parenting, including her most recent, “14 Talks by Age

Shanel Whitley: Body Positivity and Being Present

Out of Line with Cat Poland ·

2021/03/07

“So often our body image issues stop us from being present.” What is your body image keeping you from? Swimming freely? Smiling at strangers? (Once these masks are off.) Wearing a tank top when it’s flipping hot out? Being present in the moment with your friends and family and not obsessing about the cellulite dimples on your thigh? I loved this conversation with Shanel. It was encouraging and convicting. I now weight what I did at my heaviest while pregnant. And it’s…weird? I’m just wrestling

Episode 10: Joseph Shepard, Telling Truth in Love

Out of Line with Cat Poland ·

2021/02/22

Imagine. Imagine living in your car. In a Walgreen’s parking lot. Then getting washed up in a McDonald’s bathroom. For months on end. Imagine. Now imagine this happening to you as a child. Imagine having to hide your homelessness from your teachers, for fear you’ll be taken away from your mother. Imagine. Joseph Shepard doesn’t have to imagine it. He lived it. But his story and his struggle has helped him reimagine what life might look like for him. What life might look like for others like

Lyric Martin: Love, Basketball and Learning to Adapt

Out of Line with Cat Poland ·

2021/02/11

Whether it’s because of the stress and strain of the pandemic, the particular season of your life, or all of the above, we can find ourselves called to carry out tasks that we may not want to do or may not feel fulfilled by. (Hello piles of laundry and grocery shopping and substitute homeschool teaching.) How can we get through this? Not just this moment, but this life? When we have to slog through the humdrum, the boring, the mundane, the behind-the-scenes work that gets no glory. What if…what if

Autism, Aspergers and Awesome Women

Out of Line with Cat Poland ·

2020/12/10

You've seen the puzzle pieces, the lighting it up blue, the walks...but autism is so much more than these well-intentioned, but sometimes harmful awareness campaigns. Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful autism is in the common lexicon now, but I am very passionate about telling the rest of the story. Or rather, letting autistic people tell the rest of their story. In this episode, I interview Heidi and Victoria, two Australian women who are also autistic. Their new podcast, Aspies Etc., caught my

Wisdom From My Momma Llama: Janet Patterson

Out of Line with Cat Poland ·

2020/12/02

“A third-degree burn to the soul.” This is how my mom describes the pain of losing a son to suicide after revelations of clergy sexual abuse and a cover up from the Catholic Church. She’s a fierce advocate for survivors and their families, and I’m so proud of the impact she’s had. As our family lit the candle of hope this week of Advent, I knew I needed to interview my mom, especially after I experienced a fairly severe mental health episode recently. Hope has a distinct meaning to our

Episode 6: Irene O'Garden - On Gladness, Gratitude...

Out of Line with Cat Poland ·

2020/11/25

"Risk is the tightrope that connects us to what we want." Those words. This woman. (Who took great delight in the fact that I'd gotten water stains and a honey crisp apple sticker on her memoir.) This week's guest is poet and author Irene O'Garden, who Elizabeth Gilbert calls a "walking, writing, beam of light." And she's right. Irene shares with us her wisdom on how gratitude can be transformational, and why, in spite of all that is falling apart around us, we should be glad to be human. We talk

Carving the Thanksgiving Dilemma

Out of Line with Cat Poland ·

2020/11/19

What’s so hard about giving up Thanksgiving dinner with family? While it may seem like an easy decision, for many people, it’s really not. Rather than just simply tell you not to do it, I thought it would be important to carve into this issue, and dissect it a little. Put the fear on the table, and instead of flight, fight or freeze…focus. This week’s episode is a monolog, just me myself and I talking it out. But I hope it helps.

Art Coulson is a member of the Cherokee Nation and a fellow author at Raven Quill Literary Agency. His recently released book, The Reluctant Storyteller, is a coming-of-age story about Chooch, a young Cherokee boy who’s learning to forge his own path from a rich history and tradition behind him. We talk about his writing, the importance of diverse voices, and understanding more about our shared past. We also dig into the myths surrounding supposed Cherokee ancestry, and how we can better educate our

Christie Tate: Sex, therapy, secrets, and telling...

2020/11/04

“I’m going to need to get my own help for this conversation.” That. Truth. Bomb. Trust me, you’ll want to listen to this whole interview with author Christie Tate. In it, we talk not only about her new tell all (all all) memoir, Group (which is on the Reese Witherspoon Book Club, y’all), but about how secrets and shame are silent killers. We dig into motherhood, womanhood, writing, and yes, sex. A little. Leran more about Christie (and find out where to order her book) at christietate.com.

Quarantine Katie: On Covid, Coffee, Clowns and Cross...

Out of Line with Cat Poland ·

2020/10/31

In this episode, I interview my dear friend Katie Perez, who's currently sidelined with Covid. She bravely chose to share her story on Facebook, a decision not always in line with popular sentiment. We talk about breaking stigma, shame vs. guilt, the awkward mechanics of making friends in your thirties, why my Halloween costume didn't freak her out, and how she's cross-stitching her way through the dumpster fire of 2020. Enjoy!

Glorious FFT

Here is it, in all it's glory. My FFT. (Look that up, it's a Brené Brown thing.) My daughter Anna (11) indulged me for a test run. I think she's fantastic. I look forward to interviewing more unique individuals soon! Those who dare to step out of line, to innovate, deviate, and create their own path. Find me at catpoland.com
