Feeling exhausted, anxious, depleted, or simply not like yourself isn't something you have to accept as the price of motherhood or getting older. Dr. Corina Dunlap has spent more than a decade helping women understand what's actually happening inside their bodies and why "this is just my new normal" deserves to be questioned. Cait and Dr. Dunlap unpack the hormones every woman should understand and how they shift through the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause, and beyond. They explore why support is a physiological need, not a luxury, the simple foundations that can make a meaningful difference in how women feel, and the three hormone personality types Dr. Dunlap sees repeatedly in her work: the Caretaker, Achiever, and Survivor. Key Takeaways • Why feeling worse after motherhood or as you age doesn't automatically have to become your "new normal" (10:57) • The five key hormones every woman should understand and how they influence energy, mood, sleep, strength, and more (19:35) • What actually happens to estrogen and progesterone throughout your cycle, pregnancy, and postpartum (28:20) • Why postpartum support, nourishment, sleep, and replenishment are physiological needs and not indulgences (32:36) • The Caretaker, Achiever, and Survivor hormone types and how each pattern can either support or deplete your health (42:48) About Dr. Corina Dunlap Dr. Corina Dunlap is a licensed naturopathic doctor, medical researcher, and leading expert in women's hormonal health.

What if your most powerful business growth strategy isn't another funnel, ad campaign, or complicated social media plan but the relationships you're building along the way? In this episode of The Millionaire Mother Podcast, Cait sits down with Kristina Bartold-Sartoga, co-founder and CEO of The Social Snippet and High Vibe Women, for an honest conversation about building a seven-figure business through community, organic marketing, in-person events, and genuine connection. Cait and Kristina also explore the reality of playing the long game in business. Kristina opens up about navigating slower seasons, celebrating every win, continuing to show up when it would be easier to withdraw, and planting relational seeds without gripping tightly to an immediate return. Tune in to hear: How Kristina built a seven-figure business without paid ads Why community building is a powerful organic marketing strategy How to choose networking events based on potential ROI and personal strengths Why smaller, more intimate rooms often create deeper business connections How to network with generosity instead of immediately trying to sell Why consistent follow-up matters more than collecting contacts How to stay visible during difficult or uncertain business seasons Why celebrating small wins can change what you notice and pursue How motherhood helped Kristina become more discerning with her capacity The questions she now asks before saying yes to an opportunity Why wanting to work after having a baby does not make a woman less devoted to motherhood How Kristina is building a business and family life that allow her to want both What makes an in-person event feel thoughtful, valuable, and worth returning to Connect with Kristina: Grab Your Ticket to the October 2026 High Vide Women Conference: https://www.highvibewomen.ca/october-2026-event  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kristina.bartold/ The Social Snippet: https://www.instagram.com/thesocialsnippet/ High Vibe Women: https://www.instagram.com/highvibe.women/    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.  

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Zach Kazan and Cait Bazemore are holding themselves accountable and talking about the watches they were wrong about. After years of collecting and working in the watch industry, Zach and Cait have both realized there have been times when they were just plain wrong about a watch, or a preconceived notion about watches in general. In the spirit of reflection, this conversation focuses on watches we misjudged – things we liked and now don't, or vice-versa. There's also some discussion here about principles we've held that we've come around on in one way or another. It's a fun conversation, and of course we welcome your input: what have you been wrong about in your time in this hobby?

What if you stopped waiting to have the energy you need and learned how to create it on demand? In this episode, Cait explores the practices, rituals, and inputs that influence the energy you bring into your life and business. Just as different foods fuel different bodies differently, the practices that make one person feel energized, clear, and powerful might do absolutely nothing for someone else. Cait shares why your "energy diet" is deeply personal, how to experiment with practices that shift your energetic state, and why consistently returning to what works for you can ultimately change your behaviors and your outcomes. In this episode, you'll hear: Why your physical energy and energetic inputs are more connected than you might realize What it means to create energy on demand Why there is no one-size-fits-all morning routine or energy practice How to identify the practices that genuinely light you up and create momentum Why copying someone else's routine can actually disconnect you from what works for you The power of creating your own "pre-game ritual" for life and business How turning an energy-generating practice into a habit can begin to shift your behavior and results   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.  

Is Burnout an Individual or Organisational Problem? (Feed Drop: Fried: The Burnout Podcast) In this special summer feed drop, we're taking a short break from our regular format to bring you a conversation from a show we genuinely love and listen to: Fried: The Burnout Podcast, hosted by the brilliant Cait Donovan! In this episode, Cait puts our very own Chartered Occupational Psychologist, Leanne Elliott, in the hot seat. They dive deep into the messy, nuanced reality of workplace culture, systemic stress, and employee wellbeing. Cait doesn't let Leanne off lightly, challenging her on everything from the validity of psychometric tests to where manager training fails and where individual responsibility ends and organizational responsibility begins. If you've ever wondered why workplace stress persists despite wellness initiatives, or how we can build truly supportive work environments, this honest, no-bullshit discussion is for you.

What happens when your relationship looks connected from the outside… but doesn't actually feel connected anymore? In this episode, Cait sits down with elite relationship specialist Jessica Waclawski for a powerful conversation about intimacy, emotional connection, resentment, motherhood, and what really causes high-performing couples to drift apart. Jessica challenges the idea that struggling relationships simply need better communication. In her experience, many high-achieving couples are actually incredibly good at communicating, but they've learned how to perform connection rather than truly experience it. If your relationship has quietly slipped to the bottom of the priority list while you build the business, raise the kids, manage the calendar, and hold everything together, this conversation will give you a completely different way to think about connection. In this episode, you'll hear: Why communication may not actually be the problem in your relationship What it means to "perform connection" versus genuinely experiencing intimacy Why high-performing women can struggle to identify what they actually feel and need How achievement and productivity can become forms of emotional protection Why both partners can be trying to connect while unintentionally pushing each other further apart Why curiosity can be one of the simplest doorways back into connection How small moments of presence, touch, and genuine attention can create more intimacy Why emotional presence can be incredibly powerful for attraction and sex The hidden emotional longing Jessica sees in many men How childhood experiences influence the way we give and receive connection as adults What resentment, anger, and defensiveness may actually be pointing toward The question Jessica recommends asking more often to create deeper connection with your partner and yourself   Connect with Jessica: Website: https://www.jessicawaclawski.com/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jessica.waclawski  Substack: https://jessicawaclawski.substack.com/    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 fastest way to change what you're creating isn't to obsess over the goal, but to change the decisions you're making right now? We spend so much time thinking about the revenue number, the clients, the visibility, the recognition, or the external result we want to call in. But in this Golden Nugget, Cait invites you to look underneath the goal and ask a more powerful question: Are the decisions you're making today congruent with the woman you say you're becoming? In this episode, you'll hear: Why your goals and external metrics aren't actually the starting point The difference between claiming what you want and embodying it now How your everyday decisions reveal what you truly believe is possible Why thought leadership is rooted in becoming the living expression of what you teach Where indecision may be showing up in the clients, opportunities, or growth you're attracting What changes when you stop waiting for perfect conditions and decide to go first Why bold decisions impact not only your business, but your clients, community, children, and lineage How self-trust can become the internal rubric you use to make your next move 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.

Burnout... Imagine if the fix was as simple as just pee when you need to pee. Well, Cait Donovan (who I adored chatting with) has landed on the hypothesis that it very well starts right there. Cait's spent years pulling apart the research on burnout after the seemingly unlikely reality of landing there herself as a passionate Chinese Medicine practitioner. And what she discovered is that burnout is a whole lot more complicated than simply doing too much and needing a holiday. We get into why some of us become so disconnected from the signals our bodies are sending us that we don't even realise we're ignoring them, how the pathways we've spent a lifetime building become the easiest ones for our brains to keep taking, and why recovery isn't about finding one magic answer. We talk resentment, self-abandonment, boundaries, trauma, athletes, emotional regulation, and why sometimes the thing that finally helps isn't THE answer... it's just the next piece of the puzzle. And honestly, there were a few moments where I thought, well f*ckety f*ck... that's uncomfortably familiar.

What if the thing you want more of requires you to become more generous with it first? In this episode, Cait dives into the mechanics of overflow and a principle that applies just as powerfully to money and business as it does to connection, support, love, and time: give it away. But this isn't an invitation to overextend yourself, give endlessly from depletion, or make your time and expertise available for free. Cait shares the important difference between overgiving and becoming so deeply anchored in the value of what you know that you're no longer afraid to share it generously. If you've ever worried about giving away too much, wondered how much value your free content should contain, or struggled to balance generosity with boundaries, this episode will invite you into an entirely different way of thinking about overflow. In this episode, you'll hear: Why creating more overflow doesn't always require doing more The difference between generous leadership and depleting overgiving Why Cait believes in giving away genuinely valuable content for free How scarcity can show up in the way you market your business Why sharing your expertise freely doesn't make your paid offers less valuable The distinction between giving away ideas and giving away your time What people are actually paying for inside your programs and containers How free content can create trust, demand, and a natural ladder into deeper work The question to ask yourself if you want to create more financial overflow in your business 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.  

Recorded on a hot day in the theatre Cait interviews Perry (as the Chief Whip), Ian Wainwright (Director) and Alexa Adam (Production Manager). Whipping it Up is a quick-witted political satire set in the Whips' office at Westminster, Whipping it Up is a play about the grubby wheeling and dealing that go on behind the scenes and off camera as the Whips employ any means at their disposal in order to get wavering MPs to vote the 'right' way.It's a week before Christmas in an alternative 2010, and the new Tory government is facing dissent over its latest Bill. With a majority of only three, the Whips' office is out in full force, and they'Il stop at nothing to keep the strays in line. Written in the twilight of the last Labour government, the play explores privilege, class and fears about what happens when the “old boys club” seize power.Whipping it Up by Steve Thompson.Directed by Ian Wainwright & Milly Gladstone.Tuesday 18 - Saturday  22 August 19:45 with afternoon matinee at 15:00 on Saturday 22 August.

This week, we're chatting with Cait Jacobs, USA Today Bestselling author of The Princess Knight and essentially one of (if not THEE) earliest content creators in the decentralized community of BookTok, starting back in 2019. We "talk" about BookTok, building the romantasy of Princess Knight, which came out in 2024, and we also touch on the inspiration it draws from Legally Blonde. Other topics include how Jacobs brings their own experiences into their writing by intentionally crafting inclusive, queernormative worlds that feature representation for authentic disability and chronic pain.  Also? Ryan Gosling comes up once or twice.  

Podcasting is more than just a content platform—it's one of the most effective ways to build trust, establish authority, and create meaningful relationships that grow your business. In this special session from the She Believed She Could Summit, Cait Howard and Amanda Bennett explore how entrepreneurs can strategically use podcasting to increase visibility, attract ideal clients, and create long-term business growth. Cait shares why successful podcast guesting starts long before you send a pitch. From identifying your signature speaking topics and understanding your ideal audience to building genuine relationships with podcast hosts, she breaks down what actually gets guests booked—and why relevance and authenticity matter more than a perfectly polished media kit. She also explains how to identify complementary podcasts and collaborations that expand your reach while serving the same audience. Amanda introduces a fresh perspective on podcast marketing through her Leadcast Framework—a private podcast strategy designed to nurture leads, build trust, and guide listeners toward becoming paying clients. Instead of relying on traditional lead magnets like PDFs or webinars, she explains how private podcasts create a more personal experience that helps audiences connect with your expertise while moving naturally through your customer journey. Together, Cait and Amanda demonstrate why podcasting isn't simply about creating content—it's about creating conversations that foster connection, credibility, and lasting impact. Whether you're ready to launch your own podcast, become a sought-after guest, or discover innovative ways to market your business, this episode is filled with practical strategies you can begin implementing today. Inside This Episode You'll Learn: Why podcasting builds trust faster than almost any other marketing platform How to identify your signature speaking topics before pitching podcasts The key to finding podcasts that align with your audience and values What podcast hosts actually look for when reviewing guest pitches Why relationships are the foundation of successful podcast marketing How to collaborate with complementary experts to expand your reach The difference between traditional public relations and podcast outreach What private podcasts are and why they're becoming powerful marketing tools How the Leadcast Framework nurtures leads and shortens the customer journey Ways to turn podcast listeners into loyal customers and paying clients Practical strategies for using podcasting to grow your authority and business Connect with Cait Howard: https://www.instagram.com/heycaithoward/?hl=en Connect with Amanda Bennett: https://gotchamama.com/ https://www.instagram.com/gotchamama/ Positioned for Partnerships™ Mini Course - Turn your platform into a revenue-generating brand opportunity—without needing a massive following.

What do you anchor yourself into when the growth you consciously desire begins to feel deeply uncomfortable? Expansion in business can bring increased wealth, visibility, impact, responsibility, and opportunity, but it can also create sensations that your mind immediately labels as dangerous, unbearable, or evidence that you should pull back. In this Golden Nugget, Cait shares how she stays grounded in the discomfort of expansion rather than automatically reacting to it. Tune in to hear: How to distinguish discomfort from actual danger Why your mind automatically creates stories about unfamiliar sensations The connection between birth, business, and expanding your capacity How to practice the ice cube exercise at home Why observing your reaction is more powerful than immediately trying to control it How breathwork can help you remain present during moments of expansion What becomes possible when you stop treating discomfort as a command to retreat 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.

It's been another week of concern over my recent falls, but also one where I've had to manage my hike more proactively. I had a zero day in an attempt to reset and, by and large, I'm happy with how the past few days have gone. Along the way, I had a good conversation with a hiker's mother, Ann who, like all mothers, was concerned for her daughter's safety on trail. In addition, I met Cait, or Fester, who is out here in a transition time in her life, enjoying the awesome hiking community. I'm using Polarsteps to record my AT thru-hike this year.

What makes marketing actually land? It is not more jargon, more "coach speak," or more vague promises of transformation, evolution, expansion, or stepping into your highest potential. The real magic happens when your message gives people something they can feel, picture, and connect with. In this Golden Nugget episode, Cait explores the role of imagination in marketing and why so much messaging falls flat when it becomes too literal, too abstract, or too dependent on overused phrases. She shares why storytelling is one of the most powerful tools for bringing your thought leadership to life and helping your audience deeply understand the transformation you are here to lead them through. Tune in to hear: How imagination plays a powerful role in marketing Why literal, jargony messaging often falls flat The difference between talking about a concept and making someone feel it Why phrases like "ready to transform" or "step into your potential" often lack emotional weight How storytelling helps your audience see themselves in your message Why specificity creates deeper connection than broad, polished language How Cait used a painful personal experience as an illustration of thought leadership Why your stories can make abstract concepts feel visceral, human, and relatable How to share personal stories without exploiting your pain Why the stories you are afraid to tell may be the ones your people most need to hear 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.

Confidence is not something you are either born with or without. It is not reserved for the loudest person in the room, the most extroverted leader, or the entrepreneur who already has the press features, credentials, audience, or perfect strategy. Confidence is a skill. In this episode, Cait shares a powerful reminder for every entrepreneur who is waiting to feel more qualified, more validated, or more certain before taking their next bold step. Whether you are pitching yourself to media, launching your first program, recording a solo podcast episode, showing up on social media, or getting on a sales call with a dream client, confidence is often the secret ingredient that determines whether your strategy actually works. Tune in to hear: Why confidence is not a personality trait, but a vital business skill How confidence impacts every stage of business growth, from visibility to sales Why credentials, certifications, and external validation do not automatically create confidence Kate's personal story of being highly qualified but still deeply anxious in her first teaching job The difference between having a bold personality and actually cultivating confidence Why so many entrepreneurs wait for permission before fully showing up How fear of rejection, judgment, failure, or saying the wrong thing can block confidence Why building confidence starts with the relationship you have with yourself The daily choice between reinforcing self-belief or reinforcing self-doubt How to begin cultivating unshakeable confidence even when business feels uncertain 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.

There is speculation today that the Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood will become Chancellor when the incoming Prime Minister Andy Burnham announces his Cabinet on Monday. Whoever takes on the role will face quite the in-tray: high debt, low growth, welfare reform, defence spending, and the economic fallout from the US-Israel war with Iran, to name a few issues.

As entrepreneurs, creators, artists, and women birthing new worlds, one of the most powerful permissions we can give ourselves is the permission to change our minds. In this episode, Cait explores how clinging to past versions of ourselves, our beliefs, our brands, or our identities can quietly create stagnation, stuckness, and creative constriction. She shares a personal reflection from her transition from Bali to the United States and into pregnancy, when so much of her identity, brand expression, and worldview began to dissolve and transform. This episode is an invitation to release allegiance to who you used to be so you can make room for the truth, creativity, and life force that wants to move through you now. Tune in to hear: Why entrepreneurs often feel stuck when they stay loyal to past versions of themselves How your brand, beliefs, and identity naturally evolve as you do Why reinvention is essential when you are the face and energy behind your work Cait's personal experience of identity dissolution after leaving Bali and becoming pregnant The connection between changing your mind and unlocking creative momentum Why holding onto outdated beliefs can leave you feeling creatively constricted How to recognize where you may be clinging to an old expression of yourself The power of publicly allowing yourself to evolve, shift, and become new A potent question to sit with: What do you need to let go of in order to birth what is next?

If you've ever felt stuck in your business, overwhelmed by the next level, or unsure how to move from passionate founder to powerful CEO, this episode is a must-listen. In this episode, Cait sits down with Suneera Madhani, unicorn founder, investor, serial entrepreneur, mom of two, and one of only 27 women in the United States to build and scale a company to an exit north of $1 billion. Suneera previously founded Stax Payments, where she raised over $500 million in venture capital, scaled the company to more than $160 million in recurring revenue, built a team of over 400 employees, and became the first female founder to lead a fintech unicorn out of Florida. Now, as the founder of Worth AI and CEO School, Suneera is on a mission to help more women build real wealth, scale sustainable companies, and step fully into CEO leadership. In this conversation, Suneera shares the behind-the-scenes reality of building a billion-dollar company while raising babies, the identity shift required to move from founder mode to CEO mode, and why so many women are unintentionally solving the symptoms of burnout instead of addressing the business problems underneath. Tune in to hear: How Suneera founded Staxx Payments at 26 years old with no tech background What it looked like to raise venture capital while pregnant The difference between founder mode and CEO mode Why founder energy can get you started but may not get you to scale The six pillars Suneera teaches women to use when scaling their businesses Why women need to understand their numbers, revenue, team, and operations How revenue can solve many of the problems that keep founders in burnout Why women are often investing in the wrong things inside their businesses The tough-love truth about waiting for someone else to save your business How Suneera thinks about AI as a founder, investor, and fintech CEO Why every business owner needs to become fluent in AI instead of outsourcing all understanding The first AI agent Suneera built for herself and how she uses it as a CEO How to begin using AI in a way that actually saves time and supports scale Why women building wealth is not selfish, but necessary Connect with Suneera: Instagram CEO School CEO School Podcast Worth AI 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.

In business, we often focus on what needs to get done: the task list, the launch plan, the sales strategy, the priorities, the action steps. But the deeper question is not just what needs to happen. It is who you need to be in order to do what needs to be done most effectively. In this episode, Cait invites you into a simple but powerful reflection on the energy behind your execution. As entrepreneurs, especially during seasons of discipline, devotion, selling, and finishing strong, it can be easy to move into productivity mode and focus only on checking boxes. But your results are not just determined by what you do. They are deeply influenced by who you are being while you do it. Tune in to hear: Why your energy matters just as much as your action The difference between doing from force and doing from embodied power How to bring feminine wisdom into business discipline and execution Why checking the box is not always enough to create the result you want The question that can help you clear stagnant energy and move forward with more potency How who you are being while selling impacts whether people feel compelled to buy Why devotion, discipline, and feminine embodiment can coexist A simple reflection to help you finish strong without disconnecting from your power 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 success wasn't about choosing between motherhood and ambition, but learning to build both on your own terms? In this episode, Cait sits down with PR expert, brand strategist, and entrepreneur Cris Gordon for an honest conversation about building a thriving business while raising four children under the age of seven. Cris shares how becoming a mother strengthened her vision instead of shrinking it, why she rejects the idea of "mom guilt," and how founders can begin owning their stories before they ever hire a PR agency. Together, they explore what it really means to create visibility, lead with authenticity, and redefine success in a way that honors both your business and your family. Tune in to hear: How Cris built and exited a seven-figure agency while raising four young children The promise she made to herself when she became a mother that transformed her career Why "mom guilt" may be a story we've been taught rather than a reality we have to accept The mindset shift that allows ambitious mothers to pursue big dreams without abandoning their families Why every entrepreneur is already doing PR (even if they don't realize it) The biggest storytelling mistakes keeping founders invisible Why hiring a PR agency isn't always the first step toward greater visibility How to know when your business is actually ready for PR The connection between personal identity, brand messaging, and long-term business growth How to teach children to understand a parent's ambition without creating shame or resentment The simple framework Cris uses to explain work travel and entrepreneurship to her children Connect with Cris: IG: https://www.instagram.com/crisgordonpr/ Website: https://www.cristinagordon.com/ CB Communications: https://www.cbeecommunications.com/  Brandidly Speaking IG: https://www.instagram.com/brandidly_speaking/ Brandidly Speaking: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2591410  The Adventures of Mommy Marvelous: https://www.mommymarvelous.com/shop/p/the-adventures-of-mommy-marvelous   

What if the biggest thing blocking your next level isn't strategy… but your inability to believe it's possible before you can see proof? In this episode, Cait explores the powerful connection between birth, business, and expansion and why so many women unknowingly block the very growth they desire by obsessing over the "how." This episode is a reminder that your brain will naturally want certainty, control, and proof before movement. But true expansion asks something different of you. It asks you to loosen your grip on logic long enough to open yourself to possibility. Tune in to hear: Why your fixation on the "how" may be slowing down your expansion The surprising parallels between birth and business growth How your focus directly impacts the reality you create Why skepticism and doubt keep reinforcing the same results The importance of cultivating possibility before evidence exists How to shift from control and confusion into trust and openness Practical ways to retrain your brain for bigger levels of success Why feeling into your future reality matters more than forcing belief 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 motherhood wasn't something to survive, manage, or balance but an initiation designed to transform you? In this episode, Cait sits down with bestselling author, speaker, and founder of Rising Woman, Sheleana Aiyana, to explore the profound spiritual journey of motherhood, healing, and self-reclamation. From a childhood marked by trauma and adversity to building a global movement that has impacted millions of women, Sheleana shares how her own healing journey became the foundation for her life's work. Together, Cait and Sheleana discuss the ways motherhood dismantles our illusions of control, invites us into deeper authenticity, and creates opportunities to heal generations of inherited patterns. They discuss the cultural pressure women face to "find themselves again" after becoming mothers, and why Sheleana believes allowing yourself to be transformed by motherhood may be one of the greatest gifts available to women. This conversation is a powerful invitation to stop resisting the metamorphosis of motherhood and instead trust the wisdom of the journey. Tune into hear: Sheleana's extraordinary journey from childhood trauma and addiction to creating the global Rising Woman movement How heartbreak, grief, and healing became the foundation of her life's work Why we always have a choice between bitterness and transformation after pain The spiritual experiences and visions that guided Sheleana's path from an early age What motherhood revealed about control, surrender, and soul contracts The profound lessons Sheleana learned during her daughter's early years How children often become catalysts for healing our own attachment wounds Why motherhood can be one of the deepest spiritual initiations a woman experiences The cultural fear of "losing yourself" in motherhood—and why that may be missing the point How motherhood invites women into greater authenticity, freedom, and self-trust The difference between spiritual growth with children and without children Why perimenopause and motherhood can both serve as portals into deeper feminine power How nature, gratitude, and simple rituals can help cultivate connection with our children The inspiration behind Sheleana's new children's book, Thank You for This Day Follow Sheleana on Instagram: @sheleanaaiyana Follow Rising Woman: @risingwoman Website: RisingWoman.com Pre-order: Thank You for This Day Explore Sheleana's bestselling book Becoming the One

In this honest and grounding Golden Nugget episode, Cait shares the truth about "stuckness" in business and why every entrepreneur experiences seasons where things feel slow, heavy, or uncertain. She opens up about her own recent emotional dip and the mindset shift that helped her move through it instead of spiraling deeper into self-doubt.

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.

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.

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.

If you've been feeling like you're not enough… let's slow down together and read what God says about you.

Do you feel like every time you catch your breath, another storm hits? You're already exhausted, already overwhelmed, and then life throws something else at you.

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?

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

What if success wasn't about chasing more, but about designing a life that actually feels good to live? In this episode, Cait sits down with Amber Lilyestrom for an honest exploration of motherhood, ambition, money, legacy, and what it really means to build a rich life.

Welcome back to Truth, Lies & Work, the award-winning workplace podcast where behavioural science meets workplace culture. This week, we are skipping Truth or Lie because we have a massive, jam-packed episode featuring the brilliant Cait Donovan! Cait is a culture and leadership keynote speaker, host of Fried: The Burnout Podcast, and author of an upcoming book out later this year. Together, we tackle the existential anxiety of AI, the baffling world of employee retaliation, a hilariously disastrous federal crime, and a deep-dive workplace surgery to help you protect your energy and lead authentically.

What happens when motherhood completely reshapes the way you think about ambition, success, relationships, identity, and purpose? In this final episode of the Motherhood & Ambition series, Cait sits down with three extraordinary women for deeply honest conversations about the realities of balancing big dreams with raising children. Together, these conversations explore the emotional, relational, and identity shifts that happen when ambitious women become mothers and the permission required to redefine success in a season that asks everything of you. This episode is a reminder that motherhood does not take you off your path. In many ways, it becomes the very thing that deepens it.
