The 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!

Sneha Villalva on When Subtraction Becomes Expansion
Every once in a while, I meet someone whose words feel like a deep exhale, and Sneha Villalva is one of those souls. In this heartfelt conversation, we talk about what it really means to cut to the essence in life, in love, and in how we show up in the world.
Sneha is an award-winning storyteller, author, and one of MSN’s Top 10 Leading Speakers to Follow in 2025. Her upcoming book Cut to the Essence is all about living with intention and grace by Clarifying your values, Uncovering your essence, and Treasuring your time. I love the way she talks about subtraction as a way to expand our lives, reminding us that sometimes less really is more.
We also talk about the “power of a pause,” letting go of perfectionism, and learning to live with permission. Sneha opens up about her own story of burnout, healing, and rediscovering peace. This episode is full of gentle wisdom for anyone feeling the weight of doing too much or trying to be everything to everyone.
She reminds us that confidence does not have to be loud, peace does not have to be perfect, and the adventure we are seeking is already happening right here, right now.
