  • A beautiful conversation…

    Cat is a thoughtful and insightful interviewer. Her questions were spot-on and her reflections made for a lovely conversation. I would run — not walk — toward the opportunity to chat with her again. What a delight.

  • The most fun I’ve had in a single conversation

    Connecting with Cat for our episode was like sitting down for lunch with an old friend. We laughed, held onto our hearts, and together we remembered how good it can be to be a woman in the world even in the midst of Allthethings. Big love for the Adventure Paradox and top-notch host Cat Caldwell Myers!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Cathy Derksen on Maybe It’s Time to Tell Your Story
Q: How can they find you? How can they become a published author with you?
Derksen recommends starting with a multi-author book, where contributors write one chapter and her team handles the other publishing steps. She says her team also supports solo books and directs prospective authors to Inspired Tenacity's website and social accounts.
Cathy Derksen on Maybe It’s Time to Tell Your Story
Q: What would you say about life transition, specifically speaking to women who might be in the middle of their life?
Derksen describes midlife as the point when a person recognizes that their current life no longer suits them. She says change calls for inspiration, courage, and tenacity, and recommends finding a supportive community beyond one's immediate circle.
Steven Ferrara on The 30 Journals That Changed How He Saw Grief
Q: Could you just focus in on both the expansiveness of your meditation practice and maybe how you have walked through meditation, some of those harder emotions, or maybe you haven't, maybe you went running instead, I don't know, but I'm curious.
Ferrara says he initially processed intense emotions through running, crying, screaming, and journaling. In meditation, he watches thoughts pass without engaging with them, gently returns his attention when distracted, and uses the quiet to create space between a thought and his response.
Steven Ferrara on The 30 Journals That Changed How He Saw Grief
Q: And where were you and how did that leaf turn for you from such profound grief to gratitude?
Ferrara says journaling began the morning after his son's death and gave him a place to express raw emotions. Reading the journals years later revealed gradual shifts in perspective, including seeing the loss from his son's journey and focusing on what their relationship could still become.
Dr. Donald “Skip” Mondragon on Maybe You Don't Have to Muscle Through
Q: What has your experience of pulling yourself out of the hole and then writing a book about it been like?
It started with admitting I needed help, assembling a supportive medical team, and then adopting practical habits like sleep, exercise, sun exposure, and gratitude to rebuild both body and mind; writing the book helped others by sharing a concrete roadmap of recovery.
