There is something magical that happens when we spend time with horses. They remind us to slow down, to listen with more than our ears, and to feel the invisible conversations happening all around us. Horses aren’t just here to carry us or compete with us, they are here to guide us back to ourselves and to the Earth.

In this episode, I get to sit down with Kathy Pike, a woman I have admired for years. Kathy is a teacher, author, and the founder of the Academy for Coaching with Horses. She has trained people in more than 25 countries to connect with horses in ways that open the heart and expand our awareness. She’s also written books and created beautiful card decks that carry the voice of horse consciousness into our everyday lives.

We talk about the wisdom of elder horses, what it means to see them as true individuals, how they help us grow our emotional intelligence, and even how their consciousness might stand beside technology in shaping our future. Kathy also shares about her own journey into channeling and the messages she has received from the collective spirit of horses. This conversation is filled with love, wisdom, and reminders of the gifts horses bring when we choose to really listen.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

• How horses help us slow down and be present
• What elder horses can teach us about aging and connection
• Why emotional intelligence is so important in horse-human relationships
• How horse wisdom can support us in a fast-changing world
• Kathy’s story of channeling and bringing through horse spirit messages

This minisode is straight from my heart and from one of the clearest downloads I ever received in my recovery journey: You are ready when you say you are.

I had spent so much of my life waiting. Waiting for the right time. Waiting for permission. Waiting until I felt perfect or prepared enough. But the truth is, readiness doesn’t come from the outside. It is an inside job. And when you decide, things start to shift.

In this episode, I share how this mantra carried me through moments of doubt, through perfectionism, and through the messy reality of showing up anyway. From preparing for my TEDx talk to facing unexpected detours, I’ve learned that it’s not about everything going smoothly. It’s about deciding that this moment, right here, is enough.

What you’ll hear in this episode:

• Why no one else gets to decide when you are ready
• The mantra that changed everything for me in recovery
• How letting go and forgiving opens space for what’s next
• The reminder to be gentle with yourself when you feel unprepared
• Why your next chapter begins the moment you say it does

Your Challenge:
Take a few quiet minutes this week to practice saying out loud: I am ready. Say it in the car, in the mirror, or into your phone and notice how your body feels when you claim it. Then ask yourself: What is one small thing I’m ready for today? It doesn’t have to be big. Just take one step and see how the universe responds.

There is a wild, untamed energy within each of us, the same kind of spirit you see in a herd of horses when they pivot together in perfect harmony. It’s the essence of who we are before the noise of life layers over it. In this conversation with my guest, Mielle Fox, we explore what it means to return to that Wild Heart energy, how horses mirror back our truth, and the science that proves their role as teachers and healers.

Mielle is a multidimensional creative: an advanced numerologist, energy strategist, and lifelong horse lover. She has walked the path of remembering who we really are at our core, and she brings both science and spirit into how we can reconnect with ourselves through the wisdom of horses. From her own awakening during a retreat in Arizona to the decades she’s spent deepening her relationship with these powerful beings, Mielle shows us how horses teach authenticity, presence, and peace.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode

• How Wild Heart energy calls us back to our untamed, authentic selves
• Why horses serve as pure mirrors for our energy and truth
• The science of biomagnetic fields and nervous system co-regulation with horses
• What it means to truly be with horses, beyond riding or training
• How our connection with animals reveals lessons about presence, authenticity, and love
• Why showing up for your horse is really about learning to show up for yourself

What really makes you come alive? Is it the house you live in, the title on your resume, or the milestones you have worked so hard to reach? Or is it something much more simple, like the moment you find your voice, join in song with others, or allow yourself to be seen just as you are? In this episode, I sit down with fellow TEDx Spokane speaker, Barron Peper. Barron is an architect, singer, and movement artist who designs spaces that bring us back to what matters most: connection, belonging, and our shared humanity.

Barron’s journey is an invitation to step out of the role of spectator in your own life and step into the song, the adventure, and the community that brings true aliveness. He reminds us that our voices matter, that we belong, and that the adventure of life is not meant to be lived alone.

Takeaways from this episode:

• Aliveness comes from being with ourselves in truth and compassion
• Our spaces can either separate us or bring us together
• Singing in community heals old wounds and helps us remember we belong
• Adventure pushes us to our edges and shows us how to move through fear
• Belonging is not something we achieve, it is something we embody

In this bite-sized episode of The Adventure Paradox Podcast, Cat dives into the paradoxes of life, nature, and the human experience. Through the lens of predator and prey, focus and awareness, desire and action, Cat explores how duality shapes our lives—and how embracing both sides of the coin leads us to wholeness.

From publishing a book to starting a podcast, from parenting choices to social media opportunities, Cat reminds us that the paradox is always present: two truths can exist at the same time. By holding space for both, we unlock clarity, growth, and authenticity.

What you’ll hear in this mini-sode:

• The difference between predator and prey vision—and what it teaches us about perspective.
• Why listening to “the other side” is essential for becoming a whole person.
• The paradox between who we say we want to be and what we’re actually doing.
• Examples of duality in parenting, social media, politics, and everyday life.
• How authenticity and paradox coexist on the path to your true self.

Cat challenges you to reflect:

What do you label as “good” or “bad”? Could someone else see it differently? And what happens when you allow both truths to exist?

Because in the end, paradox isn’t a problem to solve—it’s the adventure itself.

There comes a time when you realize the very thing you built no longer feels right, and it takes courage to pivot into what truly lights you up. Michelle Thames knows this journey well. She went from being fired from her healthcare job to becoming a visibility strategist, award-winning podcaster, and CEO helping women get seen and paid for their gifts.

Michelle has a gift for keeping it real. She talks about the paradox of social media, how to use it as a tool without letting it take over your life, and what it looks like to step back from work that feels heavy so you can build something that feels aligned. She also shares how she is guiding the next generation, including her own daughter, to show up online with intention and authenticity.

Key Takeaways

• Sometimes being fired is the doorway into your true calling
• Social media is just a tool, and it has to fit your life
• Pivoting is not failure, it is alignment
• Authenticity and consistency go further than chasing trends
• Protecting your energy and creating real connections matter more than vanity metrics
• You don’t have to be everywhere online, just where it feels good and true

Some days it feels like the world is coming at us faster than we can breathe. The screens, the noise, the pressure to keep up. It can leave us overwhelmed and disconnected from what really matters. What if the discomfort we try so hard to avoid is actually where the healing begins?

That is exactly what I explored with Yarona Boster. She is an advanced certified life coach, TEDx speaker, bestselling author, and the daughter of a Holocaust survivor whose story of loss and resilience has shaped her life’s work. Yarona does not shy away from the hard stuff. She helps people lean into it, whether it is grief, parenting in the digital age, or learning to unplug long enough to remember who we are.

We covered so much in this conversation:
• Why unplugging from technology feels so hard and how to make it easier
• How boredom can be a doorway to creativity and connection
• Parenting kids who are growing up surrounded by screens
• The truth about grief and loss and why “you will be okay” can feel dismissive
• What it means to sit with someone in their pain instead of rushing to fix it

What stood out most to me: Yarona reminds us that pain is not something to run from. It is a teacher. When we allow ourselves and our kids to fully feel it, we open the door to growth, resilience, and deeper love.
