The Adventure Paradox: Horses, Mountains & Dogs
Welcome to the show that is a game changer for you to choose your own adventure! At the end of the week, certified coach and CEO of The Adventure Paradox, Cat Caldwell Myers shares a short minisode based on a seasonal principle needed to reach the mountain top. On Mondays, we drop a full length episode featuring a guest from one of our adventure series. Each conversation will bring you ever closer to the adventure that is seeking you, inside your soul, regardless of your current circumstances (the paradox). Many have forgotten that the adventure is NOW - wherever we are, whatever is happening, and whoever we do it with, as much as it is all that we have done and all that we will do. Animals and nature help us do this, as do connecting with teachers and the principles of adventure. We focus on goals and the realities that often keep us from attaining them, learning to master both in the fullness of "THE Adventure Paradox." Entrepreneurial Mothers, Caretakers and Women who crave elevated relationships and love animals and nature, will especially resonate with our message, community and offerings. We offer writing and podcasting services to teach professionals how to get in to the top 3% of podcasts, publish a bestseller, find their voice and launch their purpose from anywhere in the world. Please add our show to your library and share a review screenshot with us for a free gift!

Professor Faye Perkins on Coaching College Sports and Miracle Stories
Welcome back to this new captivating episode of the Adventure Paradox podcast with interviews with Faye Perkins as our guest this week. Faye is a notable figure in women’s sports history and education. Faye shares insightful stories about her journey as a female athlete in the 1960s and '70s, highlighting the significant impact of Title IX legislation on her career and the lives of countless women. She talks about her experiences growing up in a small town in Iowa, her successful coaching career at the University of Wisconsin, and her travels teaching health education in Scotland and China. Faye reflects on the importance of mental and physical health in athletics, the challenge of gender equity in sports, and the lessons learned from injuries and recovery. Touching on personal anecdotes and pivotal life decisions, such as declining a Division I coaching position after a transformative experience at the 1996 Olympics, this episode delves deep into the paradoxes of being an athlete, a coach, and an educator.
