Grow Yourself Up

Grow Yourself Up is a podcast to support all of us in our adult lives. 


Many of us did not get our needs adequately met in childhood. The devastating legacy of childhood trauma, wounding and traumatic stress lives on in our brains, our bodies, our nervous systems and our behaviour/reactions. Which in turn impacts the way we turn up to our lives in many ways.


We are going to unpack all of this on Grow Yourself Up. This podcast will be a companion as you travel on your own road of healing and recovery. 


You will learn you are not alone. 


Someone has been where you are. 


There is hope. 


We will break down shame together and learn to cultivate self compassion. 


There is always the possibility for change. 


And regardless of what has happened in our past, as adults we have to take responsibility for our own lives. We have to tend to our pain, our sadness and our dysfunction so that we can live a life we love and shift toxic patterns for our children.

    Just What I Need!
    I’m enjoying this podcast so much. I’m a wife, mother and grandma. I’ve been sober five years. I came from a dysfunctional family. I raised my children, unfortunately, as a damaged parent. My sobriety journey is leading me to emotional maturity. I’m starving for this! I was an addictive people pleaser for too long. I hope to learn valuable tools that will help me discover my true self.

    Just what I need in bite-sized bits of info
    Cath’s thoughtful and honest episodes are just what I’m looking for in terms of giving me the information I want within a timeframe I can manage. I always appreciate the suggestions she shares as well as her vulnerability in sharing the stories and struggles from her life. She’s clear on how to be compassionate with all the people in your family, including yourself and how to forge ahead with repairs when things go wrong, which they sometimes do. I highly recommend her podcast! I especially love her particularly British expressions, “oh, goodie!” Thank you, Cath, for your work and your willingness to bring us into your circle!

    I look forward to Mondays now
    I recognize the irony of posting this on a Monday as a rare Tuesday episode is released tomorrow (rather than Monday), but wanted to share my appreciation for Cath’s subtle work guiding us on a journey to use our activations as departures into healing, through awareness, self-compassion, and titrated pattern shifting. Cath is a friend of mine so initially my interest was one to support her as a beloved human, yet with each passing week I found myself really interested to know more about the topics she would cover. Cath’s approach is gentle enough for “beginners” (we are all beginners, really, in this life) while remaining illustrative and informative for those of us who have been exploring those deepest inner wounds for some time whether on a professional or personal level. She models her own journey through parenting both herself and her babes. These reference points are relatable and loving. Feeling so grateful to know her and to see this podcast flourish.

    Well crafted episodes—great topics
    Concise and thoughtfully planned episodes review topics so relevant to parenthood. Cath’s personal shares enhance the topic and leave me feeling less broken, but seen and human. The journal prompts that go with the episodes allow for reflection and a chance to make a plan or set a goal to shift behavior or thinking. Thanks for this service of education and accessibility to topics we all have experience with. Highly recommend!

    We all make sense
    Refreshing, relatable, doable and the gentle, bite-sized reminders I need that, as Cath says, “We all make sense.” Thank you for sharing these healing insights with us.

    Everything I Needed
    Absolutely LOVE this podcast! As an adult child of an alcoholic committed to mothering and parenting with kindness, respect and compassion, I’m so grateful for the knowledge, resources and wisdom that Cath shares in each episode. Highly recommend to anyone looking for support in living a heart centered, authentic life. Cath’s voice is so soothing, calming and reassuring… absolutely love listening to everything she shares!
