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
MJ Evans on Becoming a Bestselling Horse Author and Person, Highlighting her 24th Book: Coal, Dust and Dreams
Sometimes, it’s not the biggest accomplishments that change us the most, but the quiet moments in the barn, the breath of a horse on your hand, the deep knowing that we’re here to serve and be served by the animals who walk this life with us.
In this episode, I’m so excited to welcome back MJ Evans, also known as Margi. MJ is a bestselling author, lifelong horsewoman, and someone I deeply admire for her wisdom, grace, and heart-led stories. Her love for horses runs deep and so does her passion for sharing their healing power through her writing.
We talk about her 24th book, Coal, Dust and Dreams, part of her “Horses in History” series. This one takes us underground into the coal mines of 1930s South Wales and introduces us to the brave horses and humans who lived and worked in unthinkable conditions. It’s a powerful story about courage, healing, and the quiet strength that comes from caring for another living being.
MJ also shares about her work with PATH Int’l, her own journey from horse-crazy girl to award-winning author, and how her dreams have shifted and grown over time. She just completed her 25th book, which is incredible.
Inside this episode:
- What it means to become the person you’re meant to be through your love of horses
- The history behind Coal, Dust and Dreams and the story of the pit ponies
- The healing power of animals and MJ’s years working with therapeutic riding programs
- How caregiving gives us purpose and perspective
- Why staying teachable is part of every great rider and writer’s path
This is a conversation filled with heart, history, and so much love for the horse-human bond. Whether you’ve had horses in your life or just feel called to be near them, I think this episode will move you.
