Cat talks about an out of character decision she recently made in which she hid the truth about where she came from out of fear of being judged. She uncovers her feelings on her family’s humble means and having had the opportunity to prosper in the U.S. because of their sacrifices. Although not one of her proudest moments, she turned this into a lifelong lesson and hopes to plant a seed of pride in anyone who finds themselves in a similar situation.

Highlights

"This is where my history is. This is where the history of my family in the U.S is."

"Why should I be ashamed of it? Because society says that this is where the misfits, the dropouts, and the poor people live? So I shouldn't acknowledge that this is where my roots are?"

"Be 100% transparent about you, about your parents, about your family. The struggle the sacrifices, all of it was for a reason and was definitely meant to put you where you are right now."

"We are who we are because they were who they were"-unknown

Cat reflects on her family's recent experience evacuating Miami in response to Hurricane Irma and how this experience brought South Florida together as a community. She chats about feeling humbled after having faced the possibility of having everyone she loves being in the path of danger and how important it is that we make global warming and climate change a prominent topic for us all.

Highlights

"Nothing matters except people, love, and community, that's the only thing that'll get us through this"

"Mother Nature always does what it wants, and it shows no mercy on anybody based on what they have"

"Mother Nature is upset and is trying to show us that things aren't the same anymore, and it's because of us"

Quote of the Week 

"Love does not cost anything. Kind words and deeds do not cost anything. The real beauty of the world is equal for everyone to see. It was given by God equally to all, without restrictions.

Everyone was given a beautiful vehicle in which to express love to others. Feelings are free to express and give to ourselves and each other through our willingness to give and care.

What is complicated about this... Why have we made others feel they have to climb mountains and swim oceans in order to make a difference.

All we need to understand my friends is that human life was given equally to us all, not partially but in totality.

The sun was given to all. It does not shine on the few. So, just has nature is indifferent to our station or situation, we need to know that we are all equal. We need to focus on the things that are constant and not place our values on things that can be blown away with the next, great, wind.

Value life in whatever house it dwells. For when it comes time that we are all stripped to bare bones before the divine and facing eternity, we will understand that the only law we were meant to follow, was to love ourselves and each other. Nothing more...nothing less.”

―Carla Jo Masterson

Cat reflects on her Labor Day weekend, and a recent situation that forced her to analyze the worth she was giving herself as a creative entrepreneur. She expounds on her perspective of the rising glorification of "clout chasing" and how it's affecting modern-day culture. She wonders how people will view self-determination in the future and claims this to be a wake-up call for anyone stuck in the fame chasing lifestyle. Cat believes that every single person is born with unique talents they can offer the world and there's no need to hide behind the shadows of anyone else's.

Quotes

"I was forced to see how willing people were to plot on others"

"Clout chasers can be found in every circle"

"These people gravitate to those who have what they want but they don't want to create it for themselves"

"If it's clout that you're after, go create it for yourself"
