Mom's Adventure Paradox
Welcome to the show that empowers you to choose your own adventure in motherhood! Your host, Cat Caldwell Myers, certified coach and CEO of The Adventure Paradox, shares minisodes about her work with animals, children, and podcasting itself. When we aren't dropping minisodes, we deliver life changing interviews with special guests.
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!
Mom's Adventure Paradox
Does it Turn You On?
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. Passion isn’t about feeling good all the time; it’s about the deeper connection, joy, and purpose.
I dive into what lights me up — like podcasting and hearing mind-expanding stories (yes, even one about water freezing in the shape of a hand). Those moments ignite something in me, and I invite listeners to notice what sparks that feeling for them too.
Humor also plays a big role — from childhood jokes to the time a funny story landed me a radio show. I reflect on the power of humor to heal and connect, even when the jokes don’t always land (like when I once bombed a stand-up set by going way over time). It’s all part of the creative ride.
Ultimately, this episode is a nudge: if listening turns you on, maybe it's time to start or guest on a podcast. Step into what excites you, and don't be afraid to be seen, heard, or even make a few people laugh along the way.
