How to live a creative, outside-the-box life even when we spend a majority of our time in a cubicle… or within the boundaries of a role like “professional” “student” “parent” or “partner.” This podcast aims to shake up the humdrum with two-week "life experiments" designed to put color and interest back into our days, relationships and work-lives.

    Replay: Quirky Bright Lines - 2 weeks without sugar or flour

    REPLAY with a note from 9.29.2019: It's been over a year since I tried a two week Bright Line Eating challenge which literally changed the way I eat and how I think about food. It's extreme, but it works really well for me--a person with an addictive brain who finds moderation easier said than done. 

    I will publish a new episode soon, with an update about how my food/eating journey is going and some tips on eating/food prep for those who are interested. (BTW, I don't have affiliate partners or advertisers, so any products, etc. that I discuss on the podcast are just my personal preference.)

    Habit Stacking for Lyyyyyyyfe

    Habit stacks are not as tasty as a stack of pancakes but can help a girl get her healthy habits in place. Learn more about how I applied James Clear's concept of "Habit Stacking" (from his book Atomic Habits) to my life.

    All the books we don't read

    All the books we don't read

    Season 2, episode 204 

    This episode is all about books that we do not read at all. You know exactly what I’m talking about. That bookshelf of yours that is holding a book or two that you always think you’re going to read. I have hauled books like that on vacations with me. To the beach with me... We will dig into the weird and funny ways that we avoid reading, and here are some tips on how to overcome those obstacles (From Inc Mag).

    My guest is my sister, Caroline. She is a new mom and she loves YOGA, magic, and creating a beautiful life for herself through positive thinking and positive vibes. 

     

    We decided to do a Light Sourcing Meditation every day for two weeks that was designed by Rebecca Campbell, author of Light in the New Black.

    Mee-yo My-oh, we tried PIYO

    Mee-yo My-oh, we tried PIYO

    Season 2, Episode 201

    I'm allergic to having my self-care & health activities gobble up all my free time. I roped in my friend Jeanette to see if PIYO was a quick and easy way to get/stay fit in minimal time, and with minimal expense. We tried it for two weeks.

Fun and so necessary!

Loving this podcast and everything it stands for! I’m always looking for ways to do self-care without taking myself too seriously. This is very that. Love!

Love love love this podcast!

LOVING this PODCAST. When I hear the host and her friends try their wellness or creativity challenges, I end up laughing and learning along with them... feels like chatting at a cafe with your smart-silly friend that is always experimenting with the latest thing. I always end up feeling inspired to try new things in my life. Super fun, quirky and inspiring ❤️

Inspirational Girl Time

This podcast is amazing. I have found myself sharing it with all my coworkers & girlfriends. After listening to the first episode I found myself asking my fiancé what he is grateful for at the end of the day. After the second, I’m trying to recall the times I felt really thankful for certain people and things they have done for me in the past. It has helped to put me in a very mindful and intentional place. Lastly, I love that these are calls between friends. So relatable, as we all have those friends that we just get on a roll with. It really feels like you’re apart of this group of ladies. Thank you Cat & keep them coming! 💙💙💙
