In this powerhouse episode, we sit down with Cat Greenleaf—four-time Emmy winner and former host of NBC’s Talk Stoop—turned fierce advocate for sobriety and recovery.

Beyond the personal, Cat shares her mission to change the narrative for the formerly incarcerated through her Restorative Housing Organization, proving that finding a deeper purpose is the key to both personal healing and societal impact. This is a conversation about authenticity, the courage to change careers mid-stream, and the profound power of helping others find their way back. About Cat Greenleaf Cat Greenleaf is the creator and former host of Talk Stoop on NBC, where she interviewed hundreds of guests over nine years and earned four Emmys.

    Send a text As we move from the indulgence of Fat Tuesday into the quiet reflection of Lent, I’ve been thinking a lot about what this season actually means for us. In this episode, I’m challenging the traditional idea of "giving something up" and shifting the focus toward intentional self-care and personal growth. I share my own reflections on why this transition shouldn't be about deprivation, but about filling our own cups so we can show up better for ourselves and the people we love. From navigating major life changes to the simple power of a daily walk, I’m exploring how prioritizing our well-being is the ultimate form of spiritual and personal discovery.
