Chats With Cat

Listen to my newest episode and discover more fascinating content from my channel!It's common for many of us to dislike some things about our bodies. We often compare our bodies to that of others and think that life would be so much easier if only we looked like "so and so". But what happens when it becomes too much? For Cat, what started out as disliking some parts of her body ballooned into self-hatred and loathing. It's no surprise that over the years, this has all amounted to an intense feeling of not being enough and feeding her mind with vicious self-talk. Cat has finally begun to understand that this way of thinking is hurtful and self-limiting, and some changes have got to be made. There's NO WAY that Cat or anyone can expect to achieve the fullness of happiness and success with this kind of mindset. Along the way, Cat has discovered self-love boosters that have helped her tons during her lowest days and shares her TOP 5 faves with you! Reframing the mind to think positively when we look in the mirror after decades of only hearing the bad isn't easy, but as you'll soon hear, we can absolutely do it and each of us deserves that inner peace. 2017 was the year of honest reflection and acknowledgment of the things we've kept buried, but 2018 and beyond will be filled with wholesome changes and unapologetic living! BRING ON THE HEALING!

Cat sat down to chat with Latin Grammy-nominated singer Manu Manzo! Manu is a singer/songwriter born in Venezuela and raised in the city of Miami. This inspiring young woman has fearlessly embraced her creative gifts which have led her to study at Berklee College of Music in Boston and compose alongside artists like Alex Ubago, Tommy Torres, and Luis Enrique. Her sound is a combination of the genres that have influenced her life: from Latin music to Jazz, Hip-Hop to Neo Soul, as well as the Blues. Manu has embarked on the journey of finding the balance between old school and new school without losing the essence of who she really is. In September 2015 she was nominated as "Best New Artist" in the 16th edition of the Latin Grammy Awards and in 2016 she signed with Peer Music Publishing and Aquos Music Publishing. Throughout this interview, Manu walks Cat through her early life, relives the ups and downs that have led her to where she is today, and gives out encouraging messages to her fellow millennials. This episode is proof that we've gotta be okay with pivoting and changing course from time to time. As long as we grind and keep our vision intact GREAT THINGS will come out of it!

Cat chats about realizing that she's been slacking as an activist. A few recent experiences proved that she needed to analyze how much of an impact she was actually making, and after some deep reflection, she realized it wasn't much. During a time where so many gaps need to be bridged throughout society Cat acknowledges that her hyper-emotional/angered approach to activism is not the best route to take if she wants to provide solutions. She shares where she's fallen short in the past, how she'll change in the future, and how this can be a lesson to all of those hoping to spread awareness to important social issues.

Cat chats about the importance of preserving your sacred energy and peace of mind by saying no to f*ckboys. It's clear that Millennial women are being exposed to fewer examples of healthy romantic relationships and as a result, many are settling for less than they deserve. Too many are lowering their standards because they don't think that others can meet their expectations, and Cat is no different, she was one of them too. She reflects on where her love life was just a few years ago and how starkly it compares to where she finds herself now. Throughout the episode, she reassures that there's no need to lower one's standards. The person you wish to meet is not a figment of your imagination. That person is real, and they are out there looking for you too.
