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!
The Adventure Paradox
Christopher Hill and the Future of Ethical Luxury Travel

This is the full conversation I’ve been so excited to share with you. A few days ago you heard the preview, and today you get the complete story with Christopher Hill, founder of Hands Up Holidays and Impact Destinations. This conversation is a beautiful reminder that the adventure is already happening within us, inviting us to show up with more compassion, curiosity, and courage.
Christopher talks about how one trip to South Africa opened his heart to service, community, and deeper connection. He explains the difference between his two travel brands, why eco luxury is about honoring people and place, and how intentional travel can create lasting impact. We explore cultural immersion, breaking down othering, and how families grow in powerful ways when they serve together.
He also shares stories from travelers whose lives changed in unexpected ways, from families whose kids chose to give up Christmas gifts to support children they met abroad, to clients who found healing after deep loss, to a woman who returned home so inspired that she moved back to Kenya on her own.
Key Takeaways
- What philanthropic travel means
- How Hands Up Holidays and Impact Destinations differ
- What eco luxury really looks like
- How meaningful travel deepens connection and dissolves othering
- Why service based trips transform families and individuals
- Real stories of healing and confidence gained through travel
Let yourself consider how your own travels and choices could carry more meaning, and what might shift if you followed that feeling.
