The 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!

Nicole Magelssen on How Delegation, Community, and Rest Can Transform Your Business
There is something so grounding about hearing the real story behind how a woman builds a life and business that truly supports her. In this episode, Nicole Magelssen, founder and CEO of Alpine Virtual, shares how being laid off while 38 weeks pregnant became the beginning of a people-centered company that now supports entrepreneurs, VAs, and families in creating more space, more clarity, and more ease.
Nicole opens up about the early days of working from home, the loneliness that can come with entrepreneurship, and the pressure many women feel to do everything perfectly. Together, we talk about delegation, boundaries, and the deep truth that your worth has nothing to do with how much you produce. Nicole’s honesty about burnout, rest, play, and redefining success offers such refreshing insight for anyone craving more balance and alignment in their life or business.
If you’re building something meaningful and want it to feel sustainable, joyful, and connected, this conversation is a loving reminder that you don’t have to do it alone.
