Welcome to our April Fool's Series leading up to our podcasting summit... no kidding! These will be short minisodes with a few surprise interviews in there (or is that a joke? We'll see;) Our theme this month is to take podcasting seriously while simoultaneously having a really good time doing it. If you are interested in learning to podcast, please check out our masterclass on my website: https://www.theadventureparadox.com/masterclass Already have a podcast and interested in being...

In this minisode, I talk about how we can shift negative self-talk by learning to "talk to our brains" with kindness and humor. I share a story I saw online about someone who named her brain "Becky" and tells it, “We’re not doing this today,” when negativity creeps in. It reminded me how we can reset our thoughts at any time. I explore the idea that thoughts often aren't based in the present moment, unlike real experiences—like the feeling of snow and sun on your face. I also touch on the imp...

In this episode of The Mom's Adventure Paradox, I reflect on the power of humor—especially in the messiness of parenting and real life. I kick things off with a live stream moment when I discovered toothpaste on my hairbrush during a team meeting… courtesy of my kids’ April Fool's prank. That launched me into a bigger conversation: when do we know the joke is over? I share some personal stories—like a cringey-but-funny moment from my river guiding days involving a Boy Scout joke that definite...

In this live minisode, I reflect on the often-overlooked power of the pause—those moments when life invites us to slow down, listen, and just be. Whether it’s an unexpected snowstorm, a literal stop on a canyon road, or simply the hum of a washing machine in the background, I explore how pauses shape our growth, creativity, and clarity. I talk about the difference between a pause and a full stop, and how even brief moments of stillness can help us course-correct, especially during...

Researchers say having a dog or cat makes you as happy as you'd be earning an extra $90,000 a year. Source: https://nypost.com/2025/04/08/health/having-a-pet-is-as-good-for-you-as-marriage-or-an-extra-90k/

In this short and humorous minisode of The Mom’s Adventure Paradox, I dive into the theme: “Yeah, but does it turn you on?” — not in a risqué way, but in the sense of what lights you up in life. I reflect on a technical hiccup (being muted on Zoom), the value of having guests who keep you accountable, and the joy of engaging in things that truly excite you. I share a story about working with my horse, Jet — how even the things we love most can sometimes be frustrating. But that’s okay. ...

Our listener, Jennifer just found out her boyfriend of TWO YEARS does something ‘to bond’ with their cat… and it involves a TONGUE!

This episode is an oldie but a goodie from 1 year ago! This episode is a deeply personal and transformative call to action centered around one simple but powerful question: "What did you just say?" I believe this question can act as a mirror to reflect whether our words truly align with our actions and values. By examining the disconnect between what we say we want and how we behave, we can identify and break free from the paradoxes that hold us back—like wanting change but resisting the effo...

In this minisode, I reflect on my recent ski trip to Italy and my practice of identifying a “story of the day” throughout the journey. I share five key stories from the trip: Day 1 – The Injury & Perseverance: Our group, led by Crystal Wright, set out with enthusiasm, but early on, a skilled skier injured her knee. Despite the pain, she pushed through and skied a treacherous Russian road with limited snow. Day 2 – Birthday Couloir in Sparkles: While the injured skier took a rest day, thre...

In this minisode of The Mom’s Adventure Paradox podcast, I explore the theme of disappointment—how it shows up in life and how I’ve learned to handle it with resilience (and a little bit of humor). From losing my favorite hat to facing weight loss struggles and business challenges, I share personal stories of setbacks and the mindset shifts that help me keep going. My recent skiing trip to the Dolomites taught me unexpected lessons about patience, self-acceptance, and embracing my...

In this episode, I do a deep dive into what paradoxes are—and what they are not—as well as why I chose this word as the title for my book and podcast. The Mom's Adventure Paradox is more than just a name; it’s a rally cry to do the deeper inner work. I explore how paradoxes show up in life, using my own experiences with skiing injuries, motherhood, and fitness to illustrate their unexpected twists. One powerful example is the idea that youth is wasted on the young. I moved to Jackson Hole in...

In this mini-sode of The Adventure Paradox Podcast, we dive into the concept of "G.A.P." — Gear, Age, and Perspective — and how these factors intersect when you're a mom who loves adventures, like skiing. Reflecting on a recent birthday trip to Big Sky, Montana, Cat discusses how skiing ties into the paradoxes we face as mothers, particularly around gear, age, and shifting perspectives.The core theme is that perspective is key when navigating challenges, whether on the slopes or in everyday l...

Today, I’m coming to you while icing my ankles and reflecting on three powerful themes: Consistency, Flow, and Integrity. Inspired by Do Less by Kate Northrup, I dive into the importance of honoring natural rhythms, staying committed to our goals, and finding the balance between going with the flow and staying true to our word. My word of the year is flow, Tegrity. A beautiful portmanteau. Sometimes you're in flow, but your flow could take you out of integrity. Exciting news! We’re worki...

A part man, part dog police officer is out stop the crimewave of an orange tabby cat in the feature film version of the popular Dog Man graphic novels. Matt & Ashley review the new movie in this episode.

In the first live stream of 2025, we kick off the rebranding of Adventure Paradox into Mom’s Adventure Paradox, a space dedicated to exploring the complexities of motherhood and caregiving. Today’s episode dives into one of the most essential—and paradoxical—principles of motherhood: rest. Rest is often seen as a four-letter word in the world of caregiving, a concept that feels almost impossible to prioritize amid endless responsibilities. Yet, the need for stillness is critical, espec...

Welcome to the SuncoastVet Podcast, a community where we explore the world of veterinary care, one tail wag and one purr at a time. This week, we're diving into a topic that will make all cat owner's ears perk up: How to give our feline friends the purr-fect clinic experience. Cats, with their unique blend of independence and affection, curiosity and caution, present a different challenge at the clinic. Unlike dogs, who often bound in with wagging tails, many cats find vet visits a stres...

Podcast Episode Notes: 2024 Year in ReviewIn this New Year's Eve episode, I take a look back at the ups and downs of 2024. One of my biggest personal achievements was celebrating over a year of sobriety, and I’m now looking forward to hitting the two-year mark in May. On the bittersweet side, we said goodbye to Tashi, our 15-year-old indoor cat, and a colleague whose sudden passing reminded me just how fragile life can be.Podcasting was a major highlight this year.
