Send us a text Like a lot of small business owner, I've hired my share of expensive business coaches who promised me they'd help me build a six-figure practice in record time. The problem was, their amazing method worked for people like them, people who loved to sell and promote themselves. I would say what works for dogs (people who love to sell) doesn't work for cats (people who would rather crawl on broken glass than sell). Inky the Cat is my humorous take on this experience. Enjoy! ...

In this episode of the podcast, Cat dives into the importance of truly listening — not just to the outside world, but to our own thoughts and beliefs. She explains how our brains operate in seasons and how recognizing these patterns can help us navigate personal growth more gracefully. Using the example of political discussions, Cat illustrates that it's often our underlying beliefs, not pure facts, that drive emotional reactions and conflicts. By becoming aware of these beliefs, we can bette...

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...

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. ...

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...
