- So Relatable
I’ve been homebound for months and this is so relatable. The frustration, but also the joys along the way. Thank you for getting your voice out there even when it’s exhausting.

Cathy is a true example of no matter what you are facing you still deserve to be heard and seen! She listens and shares the real truth of battles she faces as well as guest and it’s not always pretty but showing up allows others to feel safe sharing whatever they may be facing! Thanks for allowing us that face different battles to still feel like we are truly valuable even when are stories are “different” we all deserve the same! Go listen!
Apple Podcasts5CT✨United Statesa year ago - So good!!
Cathy. You are hilarious and so so so relatable. I laughed for 3 straight minutes when you said “crumpy” and then laughed at yourself in your last podcast- Something I would so do, but I think it may be my new favorite word. Thank you for this 🥰
I also love the brain fog ratings- really needed because I suffer from this too!
