| Julia Carpenter on When Horses Become Our Greatest Teachers | 24 Jul 2026 | 00:47:33 | |
What if your horse is responding less to what you say and more to who you are being? In this thoughtful conversation, I sit down with Julia Carpenter, founder of The Two Step Way, to explore what becomes possible when we slow down enough to truly see the being in front of us. Julia shares how horses reflect our nervous systems, why presence matters more than performance, and how healing often begins not with fixing, but with noticing. We talk about somatic healing, trauma stored in the body, the relationship between science and spirituality, and the quiet intelligence animals offer when we create enough space to listen. This conversation moved far beyond horsemanship. It became an invitation to reconnect with ourselves, soften our need to control, and remember that wonder still belongs in our lives. We also explore:
If you’ve ever felt like your horse was trying to tell you something… or like life itself keeps offering lessons you’re meant to notice… this episode is for you. Connect with Julia:

| You Don’t Have to Carry It Alone | 28 May 2026 | 00:10:49 | |
What if asking for help is only the beginning? In this mini-sode, I’m reflecting on the adventure of actually receiving support when it shows up. From travel and horses to mental health, wellness, and coming home after some big experiences lately, this episode is a reminder that we are not meant to carry everything alone. I share stories from recent travels to the United Kingdom, competing in a speaking competition, discovering new wellness tools, and preparing for the Grand Butterfly March in Jackson Hole. Maybe the real paradox is this: sometimes the bravest thing we can do is let ourselves be supported. ✨ Join the Spiritual Horse Seeker Summit 👉 Go here to HEAR my Tedx talk ✨ Order Wings of Purpose — now available on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GYL381CS 👉 Book Launch Party, June 27th in Jackson Hole, WY: https://butterflymarch.com/ 🔥 Ever thought about how you can incorporate your love of horses in to your work as a mom, coach, teacher, facilitator or business owner?

| Repost: What Did You Just Say? | 25 Mar 2025 | 00:14:45 | |
This episode is an oldie but a goodie from 1 year ago! This episode is a deeply personal and transformative call to action centered around one simple but powerful question: "What did you just say?" I believe this question can act as a mirror to reflect whether our words truly align with our actions and values. By examining the disconnect between what we say we want and how we behave, we can identify and break free from the paradoxes that hold us back—like wanting change but resisting the effort it requires. Drawing from my own experiences as a fitness coach, a horse trainer, and personal stories (including a language-barrier mishap in France), I encourage you to confront the gap between your intentions and your actions. Whether it’s striving for better health, pursuing your dreams, or setting firm boundaries, I emphasize the importance of honest self-reflection, deliberate action, and fully embracing the adventure of your life. The takeaway is simple yet profound: our words carry power, and choosing them with awareness and intention can help us live our best, most aligned lives. So this week, I challenge you to pause, reflect, and ask yourself: "What did I just say?" https://www.theadventureparadox.com/Work-With-Me Connect with me in the following ways: ✨ Join the Spiritual Horse Seeker Summit 👉 Go here to HEAR my Tedx talk ✨ Order Wings of Purpose — now available on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GYL381CS 👉 Book Launch Party, June 27th in Jackson Hole, WY: https://butterflymarch.com/ 🔥 Ever thought about how you can incorporate your love of horses in to your work as a mom, coach, teacher, facilitator or business owner?

| Story of the Day | 17 Mar 2025 | 00:13:29 | |
In this minisode, I reflect on my recent ski trip to Italy and my practice of identifying a “story of the day” throughout the journey. I share five key stories from the trip: Day 1 – The Injury & Perseverance: Our group, led by Crystal Wright, set out with enthusiasm, but early on, a skilled skier injured her knee. Despite the pain, she pushed through and skied a treacherous Russian road with limited snow. Day 2 – Birthday Couloir in Sparkles: While the injured skier took a rest day, three of us celebrated a friend’s birthday by skiing a couloir—a narrow mountain pass—while wearing sparkles, embracing the joy of the moment. Day 3 – The Blister & Grit: One skier discovered a massive blister but continued skiing for two more days without complaints, showing incredible resilience. Day 4 – Facing Fear & Returning to Skiing: A friend of the injured skier debated leaving but ultimately overcame her hesitation and joined us on the journey to Lagazuoi, a stunning mountaintop hut. Day 5 – Reflection & Invitation: I encourage listeners to find their own “story of the day,” whether in travel, work, or personal life, and to reflect on the narratives they create for themselves.

| Natalie Tackett The Travel Artist On Capsule Dressing, Losing Weight, and Birthing Kittens | 14 Mar 2025 | 00:39:23 | |
Have you ever felt weighed down—literally and figuratively—by all the “stuff” we carry? Whether it’s an overpacked suitcase, emotional baggage, or the simple overwhelm of daily life, sometimes less really is more. That’s why I couldn’t wait to sit down with today’s guest, Natalie E. Tackett, and talk about how simplifying our travel wardrobes can lead to a more freeing and joyful experience. Natalie is a powerhouse. She’s an artist, a restoration expert, and a viral YouTuber who is redefining what it means to pack light and travel smart. Her journey started with a trip to Turkey, where she was challenged to pack everything she needed into an 18-pound bag. (Yes, you read that right!) That experience transformed the way she travels, and now she’s sharing her wisdom with the world. What You’ll Love in This Episode:

| Dealing with Disappointments | 10 Mar 2025 | 00:14:52 | |
In this minisode, I explore the theme of disappointment—how it shows up in life and how I’ve learned to handle it with resilience (and a little bit of humor). From losing my favorite hat to facing weight loss struggles and business challenges, I share personal stories of setbacks and the mindset shifts that help me keep going. My recent skiing trip to the Dolomites taught me unexpected lessons about patience, self-acceptance, and embracing my body rather than fighting against it. I also open up about the highs and lows of entrepreneurship, the importance of sharing struggles instead of bottling them up, and the mantra that’s been guiding me lately: "This could be the start of a great story." I encourage listeners to reframe their disappointments, trust the process, and stay open to unexpected wins. Plus, I tease some exciting content coming in April, including a joke-a-day series and fantastic guest appearances. Through it all, I remind everyone (including myself!) to keep a sense of humor—because sometimes, what feels like a setback is just the beginning of an even better adventure. Takeaways from this episode:
The proverb shared in this minisode is: “We must all suffer one of two things: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret.” ✨ Join the Spiritual Horse Seeker Summit 👉 Go here to HEAR my Tedx talk ✨ Order Wings of Purpose — now available on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GYL381CS 👉 Book Launch Party, June 27th in Jackson Hole, WY: https://butterflymarch.com/ 🔥 Ever thought about how you can incorporate your love of horses in to your work as a mom, coach, teacher, facilitator or business owner?

| What is it About Paradoxes? | 06 Mar 2025 | 00:16:47 | |
In this episode, I do a deep dive into what paradoxes are—and what they are not—as well as why I chose this word as the title for my book and podcast. The Adventure Paradox is more than just a name; it’s a rally cry to do the deeper inner work. I explore how paradoxes show up in life, using my own experiences with skiing injuries, motherhood, and fitness to illustrate their unexpected twists. One powerful example is the idea that youth is wasted on the young. I moved to Jackson Hole in my 20s to ski before my knees aged—only to suffer injuries that completely changed my journey. Ironically, pregnancy later healed my knee, showing me firsthand how life’s contradictions often shape our paths in ways we never expect. Growth happens when we lean into life’s contradictions—so pause, reflect, and keep going. Your adventure is unfolding. If this episode resonated with you, I’d love for you to leave a review, reach out, or continue the conversation! Show Notes: AI overview of a paradox: a statement or situation that seems to contradict itself, but may still be true. It can also refer to a person or thing with contradictory qualities. ✨ Join the Spiritual Horse Seeker Summit 👉 Go here to HEAR my Tedx talk ✨ Order Wings of Purpose — now available on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GYL381CS 👉 Book Launch Party, June 27th in Jackson Hole, WY: https://butterflymarch.com/ 🔥 Ever thought about how you can incorporate your love of horses in to your work as a mom, coach, teacher, facilitator or business owner?

| Who is Cat Caldwell Myers? | 04 Mar 2025 | 00:21:50 | |
In this minisode, I dive into the idea of introductions, reintroductions, and how we present ourselves to the world. I explore my own journey of introducing and reintroducing myself, recognizing that who I am is always evolving. I also touch on the importance of connection. Every conversation, every introduction, every exchange transforms us. We are never the same person twice, just as we can never step into the same river twice. Life is a series of introductions and reintroductions, and embracing this process allows us to grow. Where are you holding yourself back? Where are you afraid to introduce yourself, to step forward, to claim space? Introducing ourselves is not just about how others perceive us. It’s about being present with ourselves, embracing who we are in each moment, and recognizing that we are enough as we are. My name is Cat, and I love connecting with people who, I believe, are always thinking about the next generation just as much as themselves. Many of us navigate the paradox of who we once were and the passions that have always been a part of us—for me, that’s horses. I want to be remembered for connecting people to nature through animals - to their essential nature. More minsodes to come including:

| Meeting Yourself in Times of Transition | 24 Feb 2025 | 00:21:37 | |
Recording from a chalet in Arabba, Italy, I reflect on my Italian skiing journey, the importance of self-care, and the emotional shifts that come with travel and transitions. Waking up to church bells and a breathtaking view of the Dolomites, I embrace the need for rest and recovery after intense days on the slopes. A simple laundry day turns into an adventure, with language barriers, a faulty machine, and a trek to an ATM. A kind Italian stranger helps me, and I find humor in sharing space with chickens. It’s a reminder to stay flexible and adapt. A beautiful experience still has it's laundry. Takeaways from this Episode:
As I prepare to ski to a hut in Lagoszo, carrying all I need, I reflect on trusting the journey. Balancing adventure with everyday tasks teaches me patience and resilience. No matter where I am, I can turn on my mic and share my story—embracing the beauty of both the highs and the in-between moments. ✨ Join the Spiritual Horse Seeker Summit 👉 Go here to HEAR my Tedx talk ✨ Order Wings of Purpose — now available on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GYL381CS 👉 Book Launch Party, June 27th in Jackson Hole, WY: https://butterflymarch.com/ 🔥 Ever thought about how you can incorporate your love of horses in to your work as a mom, coach, teacher, facilitator or business owner?

| Sherle Stevens on The Third Way to The Adventure of Parenting | 10 Feb 2025 | 00:47:06 | |
I’m honored to sit down with my dear friend, Sherle Stevens, an accomplished artist, adventurer, and seeker of healing. Now at 86, Sherle has lived an extraordinary life, traveling the world, pursuing creative passions, and ultimately confronting the wounds of her past. In her deeply personal memoir, Big As The Whole Wide World: Finding Peace Beyond My Karmic Family Ties, she shares her journey through childhood trauma, estranged family relationships, toxic romantic patterns, and the spiritual insights that helped her break free. Sherle’s story is one of resilience and transformation. She navigated single motherhood in New York City, found deep companionship in unexpected places, and embarked on the Camino pilgrimage later in life. She also discovered the power of numerology, a practice she has studied for over 50 years, to help uncover her soul’s purpose. In this conversation, Sherle offers wisdom for those struggling with unresolved family dynamics, and she introduces the idea of the “third way”—a path of healing that doesn’t require reconnection but allows for inner peace. If you’ve ever faced family estrangement, questioned your life’s purpose, or felt drawn to a personal pilgrimage—this episode is for you. Takeaways:

| Consistency, Flow & Integrity | 04 Feb 2025 | 00:11:53 | |
Today, I’m coming to you while icing my ankles and reflecting on three powerful themes: Consistency, Flow, and Integrity. Inspired by Do Less by Kate Northrup, I dive into the importance of honoring natural rhythms, staying committed to our goals, and finding the balance between going with the flow and staying true to our word. My word of the year is flow, Tegrity. A beautiful portmanteau. Sometimes you're in flow, but your flow could take you out of integrity. Exciting news!

| Dave Ribble and Gaye Ribble on Connection That Changes Everything | 22 May 2026 | 00:40:21 | |
There are moments when things are not working, when effort feels heavy and nothing is clicking. And then something shifts. Not outside of you, but within you. This conversation is a reminder that the adventure is not in forcing results, but in how we choose to show up, especially on the hard days. I sat down with Dave Ribble and Gaye Ribble, partners in life and business, to talk about connection, intuition, and building something meaningful together. Dave, author of The Way of the Conscientious Connector and founder of Standout Mastery, shares how one unexpected moment changed the way he approached networking and business forever. Gaye, CEO of Standout Marketing and Strategies, brings a grounded and intuitive perspective on partnership, energy, and growth. Their story is about love, trust, and choosing a different way when the old way no longer works. What stayed with me:

| Gear, Age, and Perspective | 28 Jan 2025 | 00:15:23 | |
In this mini-sode of The Adventure Paradox Podcast, we dive into the concept of "G.A.P." — Gear, Age, and Perspective — and how these elements come into play for those who love adventure, like skiing. Reflecting on a recent birthday trip to Big Sky, Montana, Cat discusses how skiing ties into the paradoxes we face as mothers, particularly around gear, age, and shifting perspectives. The core theme is that perspective is key when navigating challenges, whether on the slopes or in everyday life. We also touch on how family traditions, like skiing, help create lasting memories, and how mountain culture can bring people together. ✨ Join the Spiritual Horse Seeker Summit 👉 Go here to HEAR my Tedx talk ✨ Order Wings of Purpose — now available on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GYL381CS 👉 Book Launch Party, June 27th in Jackson Hole, WY: https://butterflymarch.com/ 🔥 Ever thought about how you can incorporate your love of horses in to your work as a mom, coach, teacher, facilitator or business owner?

I’m so excited to bring you this incredible conversation with Robyn Youkilis. In this episode, we dive into the often unspoken pressures of showing up for others while staying rooted in ourselves. Robyn shares what it truly means to care deeply without losing your sense of identity, and how authenticity, not perfection, is what really connects us. Robyn is a wellness entrepreneur, bestselling author, and intuitive guide who has spent over 15 years helping others transform their lives. Her approach to health, parenting, and self-love is a refreshing antidote to a culture that too often glorifies burnout and self-sacrifice. We go deep into her personal evolution—from maiden to motherhood—and explore her powerful philosophy of “mothering without martyring.” Robyn shares how she’s rewritten the rules for herself, her family, and her thriving business. Her insights on honoring life’s seasons, setting clear boundaries, and staying true to your inner voice left me both inspired and ready to release what no longer serves. This conversation is filled with relatable stories, heartfelt wisdom, and practical tools. Whether you’re navigating the challenges of parenting, growing a business, or simply trying to stay grounded in a busy world, you’ll leave this episode feeling seen, supported, and maybe even a little more free.

“Life is a series of connections—some fleeting, others profound.

Drawing on her personal experiences and professional expertise, Allison shares how caregiving shapes relationships and offers an avenue for personal growth.

Through her personal experiences, Keri explores the transformational nature of close relationships and how nurturing others can become a source of deep healing and growth for ourselves. She reminds us that by tuning in to our soul’s whispers, we can cultivate more peace, connection, and fulfillment in everyday life.

| Fred Bueltmann and the Courage to Choose Connection Over Control | 01 May 2026 | 00:40:35 | |
What happens when we stop trying to control and start choosing connection? This episode was originally recorded as part of the Spiritual Horse Seekers Summit (April 7–17), a gathering centered on deepening our relationship with horses and ourselves. While the summit has passed, this conversation stands on its own as a powerful reflection on trust, presence, and a different way of being with horses. In this episode, I sit down with Fred Bueltmann of the Red Horse Center. What began as an unexpected path, moving into a home that came with a horse, grew into a life devoted to healing, leadership, and connection through horses. Fred shares the story of Blackjack, a horse who changed everything. Through that relationship, he was guided toward a way of being rooted in trust, consent, and willingness rather than control. We talk about the quiet, wordless language horses live in, where energy, presence, and honesty shape connection. Through a trauma-informed lens, Fred offers a deeper look at how horses support human healing, while also honoring their own experiences and needs. This conversation invites you to slow down, listen differently, and consider what becomes possible when connection comes first. Takeaways:
What might shift if you allowed yourself to listen, not with words, but with your whole being? Explore Spiritual Horse Seekers Summit: https://www.theadventureparadox.com/horseseeker Learn more about Fred:
