In honor of Mother’s Day (week), Caitlin has her mom back onthe podcast. They are recording from a trip to their family’s home in Montana. Alison (Caitlin’s mom) has always had a mantra about “showing up for your people.” In many ways, this was inspired and reinforced by the community of people that they have in Montana. So, it felt like the perfect topic to discuss between the two of them. Caitlin finally opens up about the major loss she first discussed in “Let’s Talk About … Support.” She details one of the hardest things she’s ever done, which is something related to that same loss while in Montana. They both tell other stories about times when they have felt like others showed up for them and they showed up for others. They also describe the feelings about others not showing up for them and how they handle that. This is a very emotional episode, including some near-tear moments. But, the most vulnerable moments are often where we can all feel most connected. Enjoy!

Being back in places where you once lived or spent a lot oftime can do funny things to people. Caitlin lived in Los Angeles for four years and every time she is back in the city, something special happens to her. A longing for memories and could-have-beens flood her brain. In this episode, she talks about the complexities of her relationship with this place. In so many ways, this city shaped her. But, she still knew when it was time to leave. She wrestles with questions like “what does LA mean to me?” “why did I leave?” and “would I ever move back?’ At the end of the episode she interviews her 96-year-old grandfatherwho grew up in a rough part of Los Angeles. She asks him what this city meant to him then, and what it means to him now. Don’t hurry through this episode because grandpa gives us all some priceless wisdom that only someone who haslived as much life as him could behold. This episode is a bit different in style, but leaves you with the same familiar feel-good content you’re used to at The Good Stuff.

p.s. Grandpa is on oxygen 24/7, so that is the humming noiseyou hear.

Change can make people feel a lot of ways. It can make you feel excited or scared or both. As they say, “change is the only constant.” Which means it is a universal experience for us all. In this episode, Caitlin talks about how change makes her feel. Sometimes, it brings up intense anxiety. Other times, she feels like she has looked back in the hypothetical rearview mirror of her life to see something major changed and she didn’t even know it. This is a personal episode for Caitlin. She talks about the two times in her life when she felt so anxious that her life felt out of control. She also reflects on massive changes she has made that didn’t feel so massive at the time, but shaped who she became.
