Mom's Adventure Paradox
Welcome to the show that empowers you to choose your own adventure in motherhood! Your host, Cat Caldwell Myers, certified coach and CEO of The Adventure Paradox, shares minisodes about her work with animals, children, and podcasting itself. When we aren't dropping minisodes, we deliver life changing interviews with special guests.
Each conversation will bring you ever closer to the adventure that is seeking you, inside your soul, regardless of your current circumstances (the paradox). Many have forgotten that the adventure is NOW - wherever we are, whatever is happening, and whoever we do it with, as much as it is all that we have done and all that we will do. Animals and nature help us do this, as do connecting with teachers and the principles of adventure.
We focus on goals and the realities that often keep us from attaining them, learning to master both in the fullness of "THE Adventure Paradox." Entrepreneurial Mothers, Caretakers and Women who crave elevated relationships and love animals and nature, will especially resonate with our message, community and offerings.
We offer writing and podcasting services to teach professionals how to get in to the top 3% of podcasts, publish a bestseller, find their voice and launch their purpose from anywhere in the world. Please add our show to your library and share a review screenshot with us for a free gift!
Mom's Adventure Paradox
Robyn Youkilis on Motherhood Without Martyrdom
I am so excited to bring you this incredible conversation with Robyn Youkilis. If you’ve been following along, you know we’re diving into a series I’ve lovingly dubbed the "Mommy Olympics"—a reflection on the pressures of modern motherhood. Is it a race to win gold, or is it more of a team sport where we all win by showing up authentically?
In this episode, I sit down with Robyn, a wellness entrepreneur, bestselling author, and intuitive guide who has been transforming lives for over 15 years. Robyn’s approach to health, parenting, and self-love is a breath of fresh air in a world that often glorifies overextension and martyrdom.
We dig deep into her journey from maiden to motherhood, her philosophy on “mothering without martyring,” and how she’s rewritten the rules for herself, her kids, and her thriving business. Robyn’s wisdom about embracing the seasons of life, setting boundaries, and staying true to yourself left me inspired and, frankly, ready to let go of some things I’ve been holding onto.
This conversation is packed with relatable moments, actionable tips, and so much heart. Whether you’re navigating the chaos of motherhood, building a business, or just trying to stay grounded, this episode will leave you feeling seen, supported, and maybe even a little lighter.
Key Takeaways
- Honor Life’s Seasons: Motherhood, work, and life all have cycles. Embrace where you are now instead of trying to do it all.
- Prioritize Yourself: Taking care of yourself isn’t selfish—it helps everyone around you. Start with small, intentional “me time.”
- Simplify Meal Prep: Use pockets of time to prep basics like grains or veggies and focus on “good enough” meals rather than perfection.
- Let Things Go: If you haven’t tackled a task in two weeks, delegate it or let it go—it’s not worth the stress.
- Be Present: Even 20 minutes of undivided attention with your kids can create deep connection and joy.
