No One Warned Me: Sarah Hoover’s Postpartum Reckoning
In this raw and revelatory episode, writer, teacher, and art scene darling Sarah Hoover joins me to share the truth about her postpartum experience—one that defied every expectation. Sarah speaks candidly about not bonding with her baby, feeling numb in early motherhood, and the shame that followed. Together, we explore maternal mental health, identity loss, and the power of finally telling the truth.
From antidepressants to artistic expression, Sarah reveals how writing her book The Motherload: Episodes from the Brink of Motherhood became a lifeline—and how naming the darkness helped her find her way back to herself. This is an unfiltered, deeply human conversation for anyone who’s ever felt overwhelmed by the reality of becoming a mother.

From Trauma to Triumph: Daria Burke Teaches Us How to Come Home to Ourselves
What if the pain you’ve been carrying isn’t meant to break you, but to awaken you? In this powerful and tender conversation, Catt sits down with Daria Burke — former fashion and tech executive turned author of the stunning new memoir Of My Own Making — to explore how we can heal from trauma, rewire our brains, and reclaim our stories.
Daria shares the truth of her difficult childhood, her estranged relationship with her mother, and the many ways she’s returned to herself — through therapy, meditation, ancestral connection, and the science of neuroplasticity. From boardrooms at Facebook and L’Oréal to spiritual breakthroughs and swinging on a playground as an act of self-care, Daria’s story is a masterclass in resilience, self-inquiry, and becoming the woman you needed.
This episode will stay with you — especially if you’ve ever felt trapped by your past, unsure of how to begin again, or curious about how healing actually works.
