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!
The Adventure Paradox
A Glimpse Into Wolves, Family, and Curiosity

This is a short preview episode with Monica Stahlmann, who writes under the pen name Leokadia George. Monica is a children’s book author, mental health therapist, and wolf conservationist. The full conversation will be released soon.
In this mini episode, we briefly touch on Monica’s children’s book series centered on wolves, including Trumpet, a critically endangered Mexican gray wolf. We also open the door to why wolves are often misunderstood and how storytelling can invite curiosity rather than fear.
We lightly explore how wolves live in family groups, why listening matters in a time of strong opinions, and why connection, whether through nature, story, or sound, still has a place in our lives.
This episode is meant as a teaser. The deeper stories, history, and reflections will be shared in the full interview when it drops in the coming days.
Takeaways
• Wolves are often misunderstood, especially in popular stories
• Story and nature can open space for curiosity and dialogue
• Listening is a simple place to begin connection
Reflection
What might shift if you stayed curious instead of certain?
