The Adventure Paradox

Cat Caldwell Myers

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!

    Kate Neligan on Letting Go of Control and Building True Safety Within

    There is something that shifts when you are with a horse. Not because they are doing anything to you, but because they are not asking you to be anything other than what you are. In this conversation, Kate Neligan and I explore what it means to listen, to horses, and to yourself. As an equine partnered coach and animal communicator, Kate shares how these animals help us reconnect to our inner voice and build trust from the inside out. We talk about intuition in a simple, real way. How to recognize it, how to trust it, and how to tell the difference between guidance and fear. We also touch on the deeper layers, the mother wound, self trust, and the patterns that shape how safe we feel. Horses meet us in those places without judgment, and without needing us to fix anything first. One thing that stayed with me is this idea of safety. Not something we control, but something we create through presence and honesty. Maybe that is the invitation. To slow down. To listen. To trust yourself a little more.

    Fruits of the Spirit Meet Some Horsemen

    Some days are not polished, and maybe that is where the real magic lives. This episode is a raw, behind the scenes April Fools moment. I am running on little sleep, my kids are popping in and out, and life is unfolding in real time. And yet, there is something beautiful in it. Laughter, interruptions, and the reminder that life does not need to be perfect to be meaningful. My daughters join me, bringing jokes, stories, and a lot of personality. It is playful, a little all over the place, and very real, just like life behind the scenes. I briefly share about my great granny and invite you into a deeper story if it speaks to you. There are also simple reflections woven in about worry, faith, and choosing to trust, even in small everyday moments. And in the middle of it all, we are stepping into something new. We are welcoming a fifth horse, Twinkle, into our lives, opening the door to more connection, curiosity, and adventure. This episode is a reminder to stop waiting for the perfect moment. The adventure is here, right now, exactly as it is. Takeaways: Life can be meaningful even when it feels messy Play, laughter, and family are part of the journey Small moments can shift how we see everything New beginnings can arrive in simple, unexpected waysThere is something about April Fools that softens things. It gives you permission to laugh, to not have all the answers, to be a little less serious about how it’s all unfolding.

    Gina Weymiller and the Wild Joy of Skijoring and Self Expression

    Sometimes the adventure finds you when you are not even looking for it. One moment you are driving to help a friend, the next you are racing, winning, and stepping into something that changes you. That is how this conversation with Gina Weymiller begins, and it only gets richer from there. Gina lives in Idaho Falls, a ski joring competitor, horsewoman, nonprofit founder, and someone who reminds us that it is never too late to begin. From her roots in Alaska to building a life centered around horses, faith, and community, she shares what it means to trust the process, trust your horse, and trust yourself. We talk about adrenaline, connection, and the quiet conversations with God before, during, and after the ride. We explore the bond between rider and horse, the beauty of expression in ski joring culture, and the deeper healing that comes from simply being near these animals. There is something here for anyone who has ever thought, maybe I missed my chance. You did not. In this episode, we explore: Saying yes before you feel readyBuilding trust with your horse and yourselfFaith and surrender in high intensity momentsThe inclusivity and community of ski joringWhy it is never too late to begin againThe healing power of horses and simple connectionA gentle reflection: What if the adventure you are waiting for is already inviting you in What would it look like to take one small step toward it today Links and Resources: 1911 Equine: https://1911equine.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/hairspraytobearspray/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ginaspanglerakI’ve also launched a new podcast called Year Of The Horse Adventure Coach.

    Rose Mukherjee on What the Fire Horse Energy Feels Like Right Now

    Growth rarely happens in a straight line. It unfolds through moments of uncertainty, curiosity, and courage. Each conversation is an invitation to explore the paradox of living fully in the present while still reaching toward what is possible. Along the way, we discover that every step of the journey holds its own kind of adventure. In this episode, I’m joined by Rose Mukherjee, also known as Rose Magic, a mystic, energetic architect, and founder of the Awakened Intelligence Movement. Rose helps women reconnect with their inner truth and create real momentum in their lives. We explore the fast-moving energy of the Year of the Fire Horse and what it means when life suddenly feels like it is accelerating. Rose shares why intentional pauses, grounding in the body, and reconnecting with nature are essential when everything around us speeds up. With my horse Chester wandering through the field and laughter woven into our conversation, this episode reminds us that transformation does not always have to be heavy. Sometimes expansion begins with a breath, a moment of presence, or the courage to release what we have been carrying. Takeaways Pause intentionally when life speeds upResistance can signal expansionJoy and laughter help release heavy energyNature and animals bring us back to balanceReflect Where in your life is the adventure already unfolding?

    The Books That Are Guiding My Curiosity This Season

    Sometimes the greatest adventures begin with a quiet moment and an open book. In this episode, I share a few of the books that are currently inspiring me. Reading helps me slow down, reflect, and reconnect with the deeper adventure unfolding in everyday life. One book I explore is Spiritual SmackDown: From Victim to Goddess by Jacqueline Shaw. After meeting Jacqueline and having a meaningful conversation together, I felt called to read her memoir. Her story of betrayal, faith, and spiritual transformation is a powerful reminder that even our hardest seasons can open the door to healing and a deeper connection with purpose. I also share several other books on my reading list including titles about horses, leadership, health, and stories I’m reading with my children. These books invite us to stay curious, keep learning, and remember that growth often begins with a simple question or a new perspective.  In this episode I explore A memoir about faith, healing, and transformation Horse wisdom and human connection Books on leadership, health, and personal growth eading with children and the power of storiesYou can explore the books mentioned in this episode here: Spiritual SmackDown – Jacqueline ShawThe Bequest - B.E.

    What if the adventure you are searching for is already speaking to you? Sometimes it arrives as a quiet nudge. A moment when something inside says yes before the mind understands why. In this conversation, Jaclyn Shaw invites us to trust those whispers and allow them to guide the path ahead.

    Simone Knego on Real Confidence, Kitchen Table Leadership, and Everyday Choices

    What if confidence was not something you were born with or without, but something you could build, moment by moment, through the choices you make every day? In this episode, I sit down with Simone Knego, bestselling author, international speaker, and creator of the REAL Method, for a thoughtful and honest conversation about confidence, leadership, and seeing yourself differently. Simone invites us to widen our definition of leadership beyond titles and achievements and into the everyday moments that shape our lives. We talk about her concept of kitchen table leadership, how family decisions become leadership decisions, and what it looks like to lead with values, compassion, and presence at home and beyond. She walks us through her REAL framework for building confidence from the inside out by respecting yourself, embracing failure, asking yourself what you truly want, and choosing to live without limits. Along the way, Simone shares stories from motherhood, adoption, career pivots, podcasting with her daughter, and climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, each one pointing back to the same truth: confidence is built through lived experience, not perfection.
