      <image:title>Weekly Shorts - New Year, New Me? Bitch, please! - January is the time for New Year’s resolutions. Have you ever made one? Maybe you’ve made one every year. Were you able to achieve any of them? If you achieved them all—congratulations! That’s incredible. Maybe most of you have achieved one or two in the past… or none at all.</image:title>
      <image:caption>If you did achieve one or two, that’s incredible as well! If none at all? That is honestly most of us. We start things and then trail off. Another new year comes, we start things, and we trail off again. We can’t quite seem to pin it down and fully commit. January feels like the perfect time to start something new. It’s the beginning of the year, and it fits the whole “new year, new me” theme. But does change really have to start in January? When we think about starting something now, we often slip into the “I’ll start Monday” mindset—like starting later makes it more official. Then Monday arrives… and we don’t start at all. Just like saying, “New Year, new me! New Year, here I come!” and the day comes and you don’t even begin. Or you do—but only for two weeks.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Weekly Shorts - What I Birthed When I Lost My Baby - Last year, I had a miscarriage.</image:title>
      <image:caption>After eleven years of marriage, it was my very first pregnancy — and one month after finding out, it was gone. As a woman in her 40s, I thought I could imagine what it would be like. I’ve had painful cycles, hormonal chaos, and days where I didn’t feel like myself. But none of that prepared me for what actually happened. The physical pain was unbearable… but the emotional pain? That was something else entirely. During my first ultrasound, I found out I had miscarried. The technician didn’t say a word — just the quiet hum of the machine and the stillness on the screen. I went home confused and devastated, searching for answers on my own. That’s when I discovered what had happened: it was something called a missed miscarriage.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Weekly Shorts - If He Could Grow a Uterus for a Day - Miscarriages are hard in so many ways for the woman. The sudden loss of life we feel. The grief we carry not just in our hearts, but in our entire being. Then there are the hormones — the invisible waves that make us feel like we’re dying on the inside.</image:title>
      <image:caption>But what about the men, or the partners in our lives? They also feel. They also grieve. They also lose something. They may not feel the physical pain or experience the wild emotional rollercoaster of hormonal chaos — but they still feel. But what about the men, or the partners in our lives? They also feel. They also grieve. They also lose something. They may not feel the physical pain or experience the wild emotional rollercoaster of hormonal chaos — but they still feel. And maybe even worse, they’re forced to watch us struggle — without any idea why we react the way we do or what’s happening inside our bodies. Maybe we could trade for a day — they could grow a uterus, and we could grow a pair — just to understand each other better! We all know that’s not how it works... but wouldn’t that be nice? Communication would be so much easier! The truth is, both sides get lost in a miscarriage. The woman is lost in her pain, unable to find words for what’s happening. The man is lost in confusion, unable to imagine what she’s going through, desperate to fix a problem that can’t be fixed. And that’s where things usually go wrong — because there’s nothing to fix. So how do we explain what it feels like? What words make it click in their heads? Who helps them understand how to support us? There aren’t many answers out there. And that’s where we often drop our heads in defeat. I didn’t.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Unfiltered Thoughts - Outgrowing &amp;amp; Releasing          Old Identities - When I realized that, I met my decluttering coach, and what do you know — I still had a lot of things I held on to and never really gave much thought to.</image:title>
      <image:caption>These were the things with actual sentimental value, good and bad. For example, I had a little “treasure box” that held things symbolizing what made me happy. Mind you, I had no idea I did this. I looked at it one day, and it made me wonder. So I took a picture of it and sent it to my decluttering coach, and she told me to bring it to our next session.</image:caption>

And then I said, “Maybe we just agree that I’m doing this on my own for now.” He looked at me and said, “Are you firing me?” And I paused. “Is that what I’m doing? … Why yes. Yes I am firing my husband.” We both laughed.</image:caption>

That thought excites me more than perfection ever did. This is me building in real time. Beautifully. Unhinged. And finally clear.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Unfiltered Thoughts - Still Here, Still Moving - We originally thought we’d be gone sometime in April, but we decided that April would actually be the best time to put our house on the market. That means we’ll be here a little longer than planned. In hindsight, that’s a good thing, because our original timeline was unrealistic anyway.</image:title>

      <image:title>Unfiltered Thoughts - Still Here, Still Moving - Then came the bill.</image:title>
      <image:caption>As we walked to the front desk, we figured it would cost maybe $350… $400… $500 at most. With the visit and the shot included, it came out to almost $800. That was with our military/veteran discount. Turns out the lab work alone was almost $700 without the discount. The receptionist casually asked, “Oh! Did you not want to do it?” What? Were we supposed to say, “Yes, please put her blood back”? No. We need to do this.It was definitely a surprise and a little painful, but it’s doable. It just would’ve been nice to know ahead of time.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Unfiltered Thoughts - Positively Mad - We all welcome the new year in different ways. Some people love the “New Year, New Me” energy. Some make resolutions. Some don’t care at all. And honestly—there’s no wrong way.</image:title>
      <image:caption>But if you’ve been with me long enough, you know I think deeply about the why behind what we do. I wrote a short article about resolutions, click the following to read it: “New Year, New Me? Bitch, please!”, but today I want to share a practice that has worked better for me than any resolution ever has. I started doing this in the middle of my nine-year massage career, and it changed everything—from my mindset to my work to how I handled stress. Over time, I combined different ideas, routines, and reflections until I built something that finally felt right. I’m sharing that with you today, in hopes it inspires your own way of entering this new year.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Unfiltered Thoughts - Positively Mad - But in the beginning, writing it out was everything. It made the practice intentional. Even then, I skipped plenty of days—because I forgot, because life happened, because consistency isn’t perfection.</image:title>
      <image:caption>We’re not aiming for perfection here. So if you miss a day? Don’t beat yourself up. It simply means you might need a little help remembering. Here’s what helped me build consistency at the start: I woke up and saw my notebook on my nightstand. I took it with me to the bathroom. After getting ready, I carried it to the kitchen and wrote while eating breakfast. I left it there, because the kitchen was the first place I walked into after work. When I got home, I grabbed it and took it to the couch to write my accomplishments. And when I was ready for bed, I brought it with me to fill out the last section.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Unfiltered Thoughts - My Third Book - My Third Book Is Almost Here!</image:title>
      <image:caption>Friends, it’s happening—Book Three is almost ready to take flight! Once my editor, Martha Doster, sends it back, I’ll make the final tweaks and load it onto Amazon. I know this one took a while—I even sat on it for two months before the words came back to me. But in August, the writing drive returned, and I powered through. I cannot wait to finally get this book into the hands of those who pre-bought it way back in April. Thank you for your patience—it means the world.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Unfiltered Thoughts - My Third Book - Enter Josh</image:title>
      <image:caption>Out of the blue, Josh decided he wanted to try yoga. I had been going to my friend Olivia’s classes—she’s the founder of Yoga For First Responders® (YFFR®), a nonprofit she started 12 years ago. Her approach isn’t your typical yoga—it’s tactical, breath-focused, designed for first responders, military, and veterans. Josh tried it once and never stopped. He loved it so much he got certified just a couple of months ago! I am so proud of him. The breath work changed his life, and soon we realized: his work and mine could merge beautifully under one roof.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Cat's Bookshelf - Lucky the BYRD Series</image:title>
      <image:caption>Not every ending feels like one. Sometimes it feels like confusion. Sometimes it feels like loss. And sometimes… it feels like nothing at all. Lucky the BYRD: Turning the Page is a gentle but honest look at what it means to move forward when you’re not sure how. Through simple storytelling and reflection, Cat walks through the quiet moments that come with change…the ones people don’t always talk about. The in-between space where something has ended, but the next chapter hasn’t fully begun. This book isn’t about having the answers. It’s about learning how to sit with the questions. Whether you’re navigating a life shift, processing something you can’t quite put into words, or just trying to understand your own thoughts a little better… this story meets you there. And maybe, just maybe, it helps you turn your own page.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Cat's Bookshelf - Lucky the BYRD Series</image:title>
      <image:caption>There are moments in life that change you… but no one really tells you how to walk through them. The Birth of Lucky the BYRD: Through a Miscarriage is a deeply personal and honest reflection on loss, love, and the unspoken reality of miscarriage. Told through story and lived experience, this book gives voice to what so many feel but don’t always know how to say. This is a short, intentional read… just 50 pages. Not because the experience is small, but because when you’re in it, you don’t need 250 pages to get to something that helps. You need something now. It doesn’t try to fix the pain. It doesn’t rush the healing. Instead, it creates space. Space to feel what’s real. Space to process what happened. Space to know you’re not alone in something that is often kept quiet. This is not just a story about loss. It’s about what can be born from it… even when it doesn’t look the way you expected. For those who have experienced miscarriage, supported someone through it, or are searching for words in the middle of something heavy… this book meets you exactly where you are.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Cat's Bookshelf - Lucky the BYRD Series</image:title>
      <image:caption>When miscarriage happens, the focus is often on the one experiencing it… but there is someone standing beside her, feeling it too, and not always knowing how to help. Lucky the BYRD: Standing By Her Side Through a Miscarriage is a short, honest guide for partners navigating the uncertainty, helplessness, and quiet weight that comes with supporting someone through loss.
