Grow Yourself Up

Ep 70: Sobriety, Self Responsibility and Growing up in Motherhood with Cat Sims


Listen Later

This week Cath is joined by author, podcaster and content creator Cat Sims. Cath and Cat talk about Cat’s experiences of motherhood, how she has grown herself up as she mothers, her path to sobriety and why she stopped drinking. And how she views self responsibility. Cat shares her story on boarding school, her family of origin, making living amends and how she holds herself kindly now (instead of self criticism).


Cat Sims is an author, podcaster and content creator who is still trying to figure the whole ‘adulting’ thing out.


She’s made a living out of documenting her failures and successes as a 40 year old woman, a mother and a wife across various social media platforms.


Her mission in life is to make as many women as possible feel ‘seen’ and to make them realise that they are never, ever, ‘the only one.’ She’s honest AF, wonderfully self-deprecating and willing to say all the things the rest of us hide away and, in doing so, she manages to make us all feel a little bit better about our perfectly messy lives.
