What if the answer to feeling stuck in business wasn't doing more… but becoming the embodiment of overflow? In this episode, Cait explores the deeper nuance behind "giving more" and explains why overflow is not about overextending yourself, giving away your boundaries, or pouring from an empty cup. If you've been feeling discouraged by low engagement, slow sales, or resistance to showing up online, this episode will help you reframe what true overflow actually looks like and how to create movement again without burnout or resentment. Tune in to hear: Why overflow is rooted in reciprocity, not self-sacrifice The difference between generosity and overgiving How contraction and resentment can reveal misalignment in business Why withholding your energy can create even more stagnation The powerful "muscle test" to know what you should and shouldn't give How to become the catalyst for momentum when things feel slow Why your energy and presence are often the most valuable thing you offer The role visibility, leadership, and connection play in creating overflow Practical ways to lead with generosity without violating your boundaries How to shift from scarcity and waiting into circulation and movement If this episode resonates with you, don't forget to share it to your stories and tag @themillionairemother, or leave a 5-star rating and review on Apple Podcasts-it helps more mamas find this show.
My guest today is Cait Conley. Cait is running for Congress in NY District 17, determined to stop Donald Trump and cowards like Mike Lawler who enable him. Cait was born and raised in the Hudson Valley, graduated at the top of her class at West Point, served 16 years as an Army officer, and broke barriers as one of the first and only women in Special Operations leadership and was awarded three Bronze Stars. Cait's career as a public servant continued at home, protecting security and democracy while serving as Director of Counter-Terrorism on the National Security Council at the White House. She later helped safeguard our critical infrastructure and election systems at CISA, defending our democracy by standing up directly to Trump's big lie that the 2020 election was stolen. Cait is dedicated to bringing dignity and courage back to Congress. She is fighting to lower costs, clean up corruption, reign in ICE, address climate change as a national security crisis, protect our elections and stop Trumps' unlawful and authoritarian agenda. I am impressed with her strength, courage and proven leadership and have been motivated to have as many people as possible hear from Cait directly, so they can make an informed decision when voting in the primary. Early voting started June 13th and the primary is Tuesday, June 23rd. This is a critical election, so please spread the word and get out and vote! Check out the Show Notes for Cait's conversation with Ali Velshi on MSNOW as well as Cait's website. There you will find links to donate, upcoming events and volunteer opportunities.

For thousands of years, people have turned to Proverbs for guidance in every season of life. So make yourself cosy and let God's Word remind you that even when you don't know exactly where you're going, He does.
What if the exhaustion so many mothers experience isn't because they're doing motherhood wrong, but because they've been disconnected from what is biologically normal? In this episode, Cait sits down with Brittany Chambers, founder of Goodnight Moon Child and creator of the Integrative Infant Sleep Framework, to explore the intersection of infant sleep, attachment science, neuroscience, maternal intuition, and the cultural narratives shaping modern motherhood. Together, they unpack the messages many mothers receive about independence, sleep training, and what it means to be a "good mother," while examining what both science and ancestral wisdom reveal about the mother-baby relationship. This conversation challenges conventional beliefs, invites curiosity over judgment, and offers a powerful reminder that mothers may be far more equipped than they've been led to believe. Tune in to hear: Why Brittany believes modern motherhood has become disconnected from ancestral wisdom The neuroscience behind attachment, co-regulation, and infant sleep How Cait's experience with her three children completely changed her perspective on sleep and connection What research says about bed sharing, biological infant sleep, and maternal rest The surprising link between infant sleep expectations and postpartum mental health Why many mothers feel torn between cultural advice and their own instincts How maternal intuition gets buried beneath perfectionism and societal expectations The role of nervous system safety in child development Why Brittany believes informed consent is missing from many parenting conversations How the mother-baby relationship impacts families, communities, and future generations The connection between responsive parenting, authenticity, and personal power Why breaking generational patterns often begins with trusting yourself Connect with Brittany Chambers Instagram: @goodnightmoonchild Website: goodnightmoonchild.com Substack: Goodnight Moon Child
This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Zach welcomes Cait Bazemore to talk about her recent trip to Japan with Citizen to check out their Eco-Drive manufacturing facilities. This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Zach welcomes Cait Bazemore to talk about her recent trip to Japan with Citizen to check out their Ec-Drive manufacturing facilities. Citizen is celebrating the 50th anniversary of Eco-Drive this year, so they took the rare step to open up their headquarters in Japan to media in celebration of the big event. In this conversation, Cait talks about what made this trip unique, setting it apart from the usual watch media press trip experience. Today also marks the release of a new Horological Machine from MB&F, and Cait also had the opportunity to speak with MB&F designer Max Maertens about his latest creation for the brand ahead of its release. The HM12 “Guardian” is one of MB&F's biggest swings to date (literally, it's a very large robot…) and there's a lot to unpack, so Zach and Cait spend some time talking about where this release fits in with the MB&F collection and their initial impressions of it after seeing it in person.

What if the reason you feel stuck isn't because the decision is wrong… but because you're waiting to feel 100% certain before you move? In this episode, Cait shares the dangerous myth that confidence, certainty, and readiness must come before action. She shares why true leadership, growth, and self-trust are actually built in the moments where fear and expansion coexist. This episode is about learning how to trust yourself even when you cannot predict the outcome and understanding that the safest thing is not certainty… it's your ability to lead yourself through uncertainty. Tune in to hear: Why waiting for 100% certainty is keeping you stuck The difference between being all in and being completely certain Why fear and alignment can exist at the same time How self-trust is built through movement, not guarantees The mindset shift that changes how you make decisions forever Why your nervous system safety matters more than certainty How to stop interpreting fear as a sign you're on the wrong path Why the biggest opportunities often require you to move before you feel ready The deeper spiritual perspective on trust, expansion, and possibility How to cultivate internal safety even when the future is unknown If this episode resonates with you, don't forget to share it to your stories and tag @themillionairemother, or leave a 5-star rating and review on Apple Podcasts-it helps more mamas find this show.
My guest today is Andrew Kravatz. Andrew recently completed his junior year at Fordham University, majoring in Political Science. Andrew is an intern for Cait Conley who is running to win the Democratic primary for Congress to flip NY District 17. With so many people complaining that young people are not politically involved, I was impressed with Andrew's passion to be the change he wants to see. He describes his confidence in Cait's background, service to our country, as well as the values and policies that she stands for. Andrew appreciates the loving examples from his parents and extended family who he describes as kind, selfless people, whose driving principle in life is to care for others. Caring for the whole person is foundational to his Jesuit education and Andrew was experientially embodied during his powerful high school service trips. Check out the show notes for links to Jay Forbes' letter to the editor in The Hudson Independent, the man responsible for introducing me to Andrew, an article Andrew wrote for Fordham's Political Review, as well as Cait Conley's website. Do Andrew proud, vote for Cait in the primary on June 23rd so we chose the best candidate to beat Mike Lawler in the fall. Enjoy the podcast! Links: Jay Forbes Andrew's article Cait Conley

In today's episode, we're talking about what God says to do when our world starts shaking.

DescriptionIt is an incredible honor to be invited to a Parish or a Conference or a Retreat Center to give a talk (or multiples talks) to a Catholic audience. Whether it is across town or across the country, it is a privilege that should never be taken for granted. And along the way - the more times you are entrusted with a microphone and a message - the more opportunities you have to level up, or better yet to be humbled, to learn, and to grow. And today is an episode to celebrate some of those unusual, hard, and/or joyful milestones along the journey. Merit Badges for Catholic Speakers - the brain child of my guest today Pete Burak. He and I share our Top 5 Merit Badges for Catholic Speakers and stick around to the end for a couple doozy Honorable Mentions. As Pete says in the episode - we are just making stuff up here, but all of it is “based on a true story”, if you know what I mean. And we want to hear from you - What Merit Badges have you earned?

This week, Cait read from Revelation 7 to start worship, recognizing the breadth and majesty of God in all creation.Marc provided an update on the building search and where Forward is headed next.Marc started a new series on obscure Bible stories, passages, and letters. This week, Marc discussed Paul's letter to Philemon, a wealthy man who hosted a church in the Ephesus and Colossi region. Marc touches on the difference between slavery in the Roman world and the chattel slavery of Western history.But Marc narrows down on the real issue of this letter: Philemon needing to forgive and have favour for a runaway slave who stole from him. Marc discusses the depth of forgiveness and how complicated this can be, but also emphasizes that as Christians, reconciliation is our goal.
Recorded in a rather boomy Studio at the Putney Arts theatre, Cait interviews lead actors Lonje and Rob, and the co-directors Rob Wallis and Will Hunter.In Tom Stoppard's Rosencrantz And Guildenstern are Dead, two minor characters from Shakespeare's Hamlet suddenly find themselves at the centre of a story they do not understand and cannot seem to influence.Rosencrantz and Guildenstern pass the time flipping coins, trading riddles, and trying to figure out just what is going on with the Prince of Denmark. As they stumble in and out of Shakespeare's tragedy, they encounter the mysterious Player King and his troupe of Tragedians, actors who embrace blood, death, and rhetoric as all part of the show – which is to say, life. What begins as a comic rumination on chance and circumstance deepens into a haunting exploration of what it means to exist when your part is already written.Stoppard's play is a dazzling blend of existential comedy, verbal acrobatics, and theatrical playfulness that reframes Shakespeare's play from the wings.Cast :Rosencrantz - Lonje KalandaGuildenstern - Rob RyanThe Player - Eric PetrossianHamlet - Nathan ChatelierClaudius - Ian CookeGertrude - Julia BlythPolonius - Edward OgilvieOphelia - Anastasia BabichTragedians - Emma Buckley, Eve Newton, Finton McCluskey, Kelsey Norris, Nora Holman, Rebecca Fallon16-20 June, 2026 at 19:45 with matinee at 15:00 on SaturdayPutney Arts Theatre, Main Stage_______________________________The Putney Theatre Company at The South West End!

What happens when you build the business you thought you always wanted… only to realize motherhood changes everything? In this deeply honest and powerful conversation, Cait sits down with identity strategist, top network marketing leader, and exited seven-figure founder Kelli Moore to unpack the massive identity shifts that can happen when ambitious women become mothers. Kelli shares her journey from competitive athlete and Emmy Award-winning TV host to building a world-renowned media company, only to find herself questioning the life and business she had worked so hard to create after becoming a mom. Together, Cait and Kelli explore the unraveling that motherhood can bring, the pressure high-achieving women place on themselves, and the courage it takes to redefine success on your own terms. Kelli opens up about stepping away from the business she built, learning to sit in the quiet, surrendering control, and ultimately discovering an entirely new business model and path that aligned with the kind of life and motherhood she truly wanted. This episode is an honest conversation about ambition, identity, ego death, motherhood, wealth, business models, and what becomes possible when women allow themselves to evolve. Tune in to hear: Why motherhood can completely reshape your definition of success The hidden cost of building a business that depends entirely on you How high-achieving women use work and achievement to avoid asking deeper questions The importance of getting quiet long enough to hear what your soul is actually asking for What Kelli learned after stepping away from her seven-figure business The surprising business path that completely changed her life Why ambitious mothers are allowed to change their minds about what they want How identity work impacts business growth, wealth, and fulfillment The difference between building from performance versus alignment Why no business model is "one size fits all" for ambitious women and mothers How network marketing became a vehicle for freedom, leadership, and community for Kelli The role mentorship, community, and personal growth play in sustainable success Why women will always be judged no matter what path they choose and why you should build the life that lights you up anyway Shop Monat Here Connect further with Kelli Instagram: @kellitmoore

Tune in to hear: How motherhood forces radical prioritization and eliminates what doesn't truly matter The hidden burnout so many high-achieving women don't even realize they're in Why motherhood and ambition were never meant to be in competition How societal systems have shaped the way we view mothers and success The identity shifts required to evolve as both a mother and a business owner Why boundaries, energy protection, and discernment become non-negotiable The practical systems (like shared calendars and support networks) that make it all possible The truth about "doing it all" vs. actually having support Why work-life balance may be a myth and what to focus on instead How to navigate seasons of business and motherhood without constant guilt The difference between ambition and commitment and why it matters Why purpose-driven work is essential if you want to sustain both motherhood and entrepreneurship The "glass balls vs. rubber balls" framework for prioritizing what truly matters If this episode resonates with you, don't forget to share it to your stories and tag @themillionairemother, or leave a 5-star rating and review on Apple Podcasts-it helps more mamas find this show.
What happens when the version of success you worked so hard for… no longer fits the life you want? In this episode, Cait sits down with Danielle Canty to unpack the identity shifts that come with success, motherhood, and evolving into a new season of life. After co-founding one of the largest personal development brands for women and growing a global audience of millions, Danielle exited her company and stepped into an entirely new chapter that challenged everything she thought she wanted. From navigating postpartum with two young children to redefining what success actually looks like now, this episode is a powerful reminder that growth isn't always about more. Sometimes, it's about choosing differently. If you've ever felt torn between ambition and presence, building and being, or questioned who you are outside of what you do...this conversation will meet you right where you are. Tune in to hear: Why so many women unknowingly hold themselves back before even trying The identity shift that happens when you leave something you built What no one tells you about going from one to two kids How motherhood reshapes your priorities, capacity, and definition of success The truth about building a business that actually supports your life How to reverse engineer your days around what matters most Why time, peace, and presence can become the new version of "success" The mindset shifts that help you navigate seasons of growth and uncertainty DM @daniellecanty on Instagram with the word "Cait"
Today on Sew & So, we welcome Cait Trantham whose creative path is as dynamic and unexpected as the life she's lived. Born in Nebraska and raised in a military family, she grew up constantly on the move—an experience that shaped her adaptability, curiosity, and willingness to dive into something new. That sense of adventure carried into adulthood when she married a Marine, and together they've continued that lifestyle—moving nearly ten times over the past 17 years while raising their three kids and their dog, Saint. Along the way, she's worn a lot of hats—yoga instructor, ride operator, even magician's assistant—but through it all, there's been a consistent love of creativity and a drive to explore it in new ways. Foe Cait, sewing garments wasn't always part of that story. For years, she was almost exclusively a quilter, with clothing construction feeling just out of reach. But when the pandemic hit and the world slowed down, she found herself searching for inspiration. By deconstructing garments and putting them back together, she taught herself how clothing works from the inside out. That hands-on, approach sparked something deeper which she describes as scratching just the right place in her brain. She began sharing those upcycled creations online, and over the past six years, that openness has grown into a vibrant and engaged community. Her work has led to opportunities around the world, including traveling to Spain to film an upcycling class, and even collaborating on a reality sewing show concept. Today, she's taken her skills into working at Walt Disney World in Live Entertainment Costuming. On the creative side of the team, she helps design, create, supply, and maintain costumes for shows and parades, blending storytelling and craftsmanship. She's also the creative force behind a tea towel dress project—one that showcases her design perspective, and highlights her passion for community, collaboration, and storytelling through textiles. It's a project that even caught the attention of her local news. When she's not designing or creating, she enjoys thrifting, hunting for vintage treasures which includes adding to her collections of Pyrex, quilts, and mid-century décor—always inspired by the stories and history behind the pieces she finds. (3:21) How did Cait learn to sew and who influenced her? And…did she really think sewing was boring?! (5:21) Did her life as a child in a military family influence her creative choices? (6:17) Where was her favorite place to live? (6:40) before the pandemic she found garment sewing to be intimidating. Now that's the majority of what she does. What changed? (8:49) What's the “creative part of her brain” that sewing ultimately scratched? (9:53) Why did her upcycling resonate so well with her YouTube audience? (10:34) How about some stories about her interaction with her audience? Learn about the Tea Towel project! (18:00) Would she do it again? (18:16) Cait has has some pretty memorable experiences and moments. What was her favorite? (21:12) Hear more about her sewing reality show. (21:57) How does her love for vintage influence her design choices today? (24:36) She has done many things. Hear about her being a ride operator and magician's assistant. (28:47) What's next for Cait and what's her dream? (29:45) Is there a question we didn't ask?! (30:14) How can you reach out to Cait?

Why are media companies like CNN and Substack joining forces with prediction markets like Polymarket and Kalshi?Both Polymarket and Kalshi have been all over the news and editorial pages: will these markets be a blight of insider trading and foreign interference? The next step on the slippery slope to online gambling addiction? Should we really be able to bet on kidnapping, war, the timing of someone else's death? But thanks to recent partnerships between big media and the prediction market companies, Polymarket and Kalshi are moving from being the subject of headlines to the co-creators of those headlines.Up until last week this was mostly an American game that Canadians could surreptitiously play through VPNs. Then it was announced that Canadian fintech company Wealthsimple, cleared regulatory hurdles to bring the markets to its millions of existing customers, bringing the tech to the masses.Gemma Boothroyd brings us the story.Host: Jesse BrownCredits: Gemma Boothroyd (Reporter), Tristan Capacchione (Audio Editor and Technical Producer), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), max collins (Director of Audio), Jesse Brown (Editor and Publisher)Fact checking by Julian AbrahamAdditional music by Audio Network More information:Strait of Hormuz tanker traffic won't return to normal for months, Kalshi bettors predict — CNBC "Controversial" predictions trading model could let you profit from real-world outcomes. — Global newsNHL player poll: As sports betting increases, so do harassing messages — and Venmo requests — The AthleticPolymarket gamblers threaten Israeli journalist over missile strike story | Israel | — The GuardianMLB further embraces sports betting in deal with prediction platform Polymarket — The AthleticPolymarket and Dow Jones, Publisher of The Wall Street Journal, Announce Exclusive Prediction Market Partnership — Dow JonesPower Corporation Announces Additional Investment in Wealthsimple — Power CorporationBetting on the Gatorade color?

This is your wake-up call to start growing spiritually.
March is almost behind us, and with it, Women's History Month. But before we turn the page, we're revisiting one of our most resonant episodes. Spring is a natural time to reset, and if your New Year's intentions need a little tending, this re-release with Hero Cait DeMello is the place to start. Authentic confidence isn't something you find in January. Sometimes it finds you in the quiet weeks between seasons.------Confidence isn't a one-size-fits-all approach, and it definitely doesn't always look like being the loudest in the room. In this episode, Hero Cait DeMello shares her evolving relationship with confidence, breaking down the difference between external validation and genuine self-trust. Through personal stories, vulnerable insights, and a refreshing honesty about self-doubt, Cait redefines what it means to be “confident." Whether you're outgoing, reserved, or somewhere in between, this episode will help you explore where your confidence truly comes from — and how to nurture it from within.What You Will Learn[00:02:10] How confidence can coexist with social anxiety.[00:03:45] The impact of people-pleasing on self-worth.[00:05:18] Why is being loud or outgoing not the same as being confident?[00:06:40] How childhood experiences shaped Cait's understanding of confidence.[00:08:55] The difference between external validation and internal self-trust.[00:10:42] How over-apologizing signals a lack of confidence.[00:12:11] The importance of learning to sit with discomfort.[00:14:05] Why confidence is a practice, not a fixed trait.[00:15:30] How to recognize when confidence is rooted in fear.[00:17:20] Why it's okay not to have all the answers.Resources MentionedThe Happiness Hypothesis by Jonathan Haidt (Book)Unlocking Us with Brené Brown (Podcast)Let's Connect!Follow The Healing Heroes on Instagram & LinkedIn.Cait DeMelloWebsite | LinkedIn | InstagramChandler StroudWebsite | LinkedIn | InstagramMixing and editing provided by Next Day Podcast.

A lot of women don't realize they're dealing with burnout.They just feel tired, irritable, stretched thin, and like everything takes more effort than it should. And when drinking becomes the way you cope, it can make it even harder to see what's really going on.

Cait has such a smart, grounded way of talking about burnout that cuts through the noise and gets to the truth. We talk about how burnout shows up, how it overlaps with overdrinking, and what it really takes to begin recovering.

Motherhood doesn't just change your schedule. It changes your nervous system, your identity, and often reopens wounds you thought were already healed. In this episode, Cait sits down with Natalie Brunswick, occupational therapist, trauma therapist, and parenting educator, to talk about the unspoken inner work of motherhood the grief, the overwhelm, and the nervous system realities no one prepares you for. Natalie shares her own journey into this work, from clinical training in occupational therapy and trauma therapy to becoming a mother herself and realizing firsthand how parenting can surface unresolved trauma, grief, and sensory overwhelm, especially when raising sensitive children. Tune in to hear: Why parenting is often more about re-parenting yourself than managing your child How unresolved trauma and grief show up after birth even years later The concept of the window of tolerance and why stress, birth trauma, and sleep deprivation shrink it Why many postpartum mental health struggles are actually unacknowledged grief How sensitive babies and children force us to confront our own nervous systems The problem with "gentle parenting" when parents don't have internal regulation tools Why grief doesn't need fixing or medicating How cultural parenting narratives disconnect moms from their intuition What healing actually looks like for mothers doing cycle-breaking work Connect with Natalie nataliebrunswick.com Instagram: @nataliebrunswick

Innovation isn't safe, and that's the point. In this episode, Cait dives into the unavoidable relationship between innovation and risk, and why true thought leadership requires the courage to step outside what's already been proven to work. Our nervous systems are conditioned to look for safety in what's familiar, validated, and widely accepted. That's why following trends (especially in online business and social media) can feel so compelling. Trending audios, formats, strategies, and formulas do work… until they don't. But innovation asks something different of us. Tune in to hear: Why innovation always requires creative risk and why that discomfort is a sign you're on the edge of growth The psychological reason we default to following trends (and how it impacts your thought leadership) The strategic difference between trend-following for growth and trend-creating for authority How to discern when a trend is serving your business and when it's shrinking your originality Why becoming a trend creator strengthens long-term brand positioning The power of building an "expander list" to stretch your creative thinking How taking bold creative risks sharpens your voice and activates true leadership If this episode resonates with you, don't forget to share it to your stories and tag @themillionairemother, or leave a 5-star rating and review on Apple Podcasts-it helps more mamas find this show.
If you're feeling down today, let's read the happiest book of the Bible together.
What if your anxiety, overwhelm, or shutdown isn't a mindset problem… but a nervous system response your body learned years ago? In this episode, Cait sits down with nervous system educator and practitioner trainer Jessica McGuire to unpack what nervous system regulation actually means beyond social media buzzwords and surface-level self-care. If you've ever felt stuck in fight-or-flight, overwhelmed by motherhood and ambition, or frustrated that mindset work hasn't fully "worked," this conversation will shift everything. Together, Cait and Jessica explore how dysregulation shows up in modern motherhood, why you can't "hack" your nervous system, and how real healing happens through embodied experience, not just positive thinking. This episode bridges neuroscience, trauma healing, entrepreneurship, and parenting — revealing how the state we live in becomes the legacy we pass on. Tune in to hear: What the nervous system actually is (and why it's more than just "fight or flight") A simple explanation of the vagus nerve and how it impacts anxiety, burnout, IBS, chronic pain, and emotional regulation Why mindset work often falls short without nervous system healing The difference between sympathetic activation, regulation, and freeze/shutdown How traumatic stress can come from unpredictability and lack of control — not just obvious major events Why you can't "willpower" your way out of dysregulation How nervous system patterns are shaped by past experiences — even ones you don't consciously remember What co-regulation means in motherhood and how your state shapes your child's nervous system The concept of "states become traits" and how to embody regulation daily Practical ways to begin repairing and strengthening your nervous system Connect with Jessica: Website: https://www.jessicamaguire.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/repairing_the_nervous_system/ If this episode resonates with you, don't forget to share it to your stories and tag @themillionairemother, or leave a 5-star rating and review on Apple Podcasts-it helps more mamas find this show.
Expansion sounds glamorous when we see it online, but what we don't talk about enough is the internal recalibration that expansion requires. In this episode, Cait unpacks the real driver behind growth: decidedness. Not manifestation. Not luck. Not perfect timing. But the moment you stop treating expansion like something that happens to other people and start claiming it as yours. Tune in to hear: Why expansion always triggers fear and why that's neurologically normal The subtle "shadow frequencies" (jealousy, skepticism, doubt) that keep women playing small How your nervous system determines what feels possible financially Why risk is required for every next level The difference between feeling inspired by success and deciding it's available to you How decidedness shifts your financial reality, momentum, and identity If this episode resonates with you, don't forget to share it to your stories and tag @themillionairemother, or leave a 5-star rating and review on Apple Podcasts-it helps more mamas find this show.
What if the reason you're still leaking, feeling heaviness, or struggling postpartum isn't because you're broken but because no one ever taught you how to truly heal? So many women don't hear the words pelvic floor until after they've given birth when they're already dealing with incontinence, prolapse, pain with intimacy, or a body that feels unfamiliar and disconnected. In this episode, Cait sits down with Jessica London, Doctor of Physical Therapy and founder of Your Postpartum PT, to unpack what pelvic floor health actually is and why "just do Kegels" is outdated advice. Jessica shares why pelvic floor healing is about so much more than strengthening a muscle. It's about nervous system regulation, stress management, shame release, and whole-body recovery. They explore how birth (whether vaginal or C-section) impacts the body, why one in three women experience pelvic floor dysfunction, and how ambitious, high-achieving moms often struggle the most with slowing down enough to truly heal. Tune in to hear: What the pelvic floor actually is (in simple, clear terms) Why Kegels alone are not the solution The surprising connection between your jaw, stress levels, and pelvic floor tension Why birth is "physiologically normal" but still requires real rehabilitation How nervous system dysregulation impacts healing Why shame keeps so many women silent — and how to dissolve it What true postpartum recovery should look like Why virtual pelvic floor therapy can lead to faster, more consistent results Connect with Jessica: Instagram: @yourpostpartumpt Jessica's podcast: What About Mom?

What happens when a high-achieving entrepreneur reaches success… and still feels a deep inner pull toward something more? In this episode, Cait sits down with Cassandra Britton, founder of Business Savage, keynote speaker, and top-rated podcast host-just weeks before she welcomes her first baby. At 37 weeks pregnant, Cassandra opens up about the identity reinvention that's unfolding in real time: stepping away from hustle-driven ambition, releasing offers and clients that no longer align, and preparing both her business and nervous system for motherhood. This conversation explores the often unspoken threshold between who you've been and who you're becoming especially when faith, feminine energy, and purpose begin to lead the way. Tune in to hear: Cassandra's journey from competitive hockey player to seven-figure beauty founder to faith-led entrepreneur Why "doing more" stopped working and how alignment replaced burnout The difference between ambition rooted in worth vs. ambition rooted in fear How pregnancy initiates massive energetic and identity shifts for women in business What it looks like to clean house in your business before entering motherhood Why fear of being seen dissolves when purpose replaces self-focus The deep connection between voice, truth, boundaries, and feminine power How faith has transformed Cassandra's decision-making, leadership, and life Letting go of what's "working" to make space for what's next Connect with Cassandra: IG: https://www.instagram.com/the.business.savage/ Website: https://www.thebusinesssavage.com/ Listen to the Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-business-savage/id1594652065 Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@the.business.savage
Sometimes kids just know things. Molly Merrihew's almost-three-year-old daughter Cecelia asks out of nowhere, "Why did Caitlin die in February?" while standing on a kitchen chair, her aunt's senior photo mixed in with the daily clutter of mail and coffee mugs. Molly realizes her daughter has picked up on the rhythm of grief, the way February carries both celebration and loss—Cecilia's birthday falls just a week after the anniversary of her aunt's death. It's about how children watch us more closely than we think, how they call us back when we drift away, and how the people we've lost keep showing up in our lives, present and gone at the same time.
