Perhaps like me, as your emotional discomfort has increased over the last few years, your coping mechanisms may not have. If you look back - I have no doubt that one day over the past couple years, you instinctively reached into your resilience bucket hoping to pull out your next best coping-mechanism, only to find that you'd reach the bottom of the bucket. Friend, it was likely then, that your scales tipped! What does one do when your emotional instability or your emotional distress is matched with a resilience bucket that has no coping mechanism left inside of it, to fulfill or meet your needs? You do what every person in the history of the world has learnt to do, you buy into the premise that if you simply don’t feel anything at all any longer well then surely you’ve tackled this dilemma. It’s your safest option, your quickest fix, your strongest Band-Aid. You embrace ‘numbing’.
I'm here today to share that NUMBING isn't just preventing pain, it's preventing JOY too. Hear me out :)

In the world we live in today, it's not a common practice to have heroes and yet right here, today on Girl, it's Time, I got to interview one of mine. Cindy Norcott is a business coach, successful entrepreneur, a wife, a mum and the founder and CEO of the well-known and loved, Robinhood Foundation. Today's episode tells her story of why and how she started SOMETHING and how each of us has the potential to do just the same. There are gaps in your society that you're noticing; friend, this is likely where you're called to act.
Enjoy this episode friends,

If ever there were a woman who has gone against the grain, here she is. Nehneh Shange lives and works in Kwadabeka area in the Valley of 1000 Hills. Although coming from a poor background, she managed to qualify with 2 degrees before beginning her teaching journey. It was then that God began to stir her heart to do MORE for her community. This woman has faced challenge after challenge and yet still humbly stands with such dignity as she talks about the Private School that she has started on the next-door property to her home. Isambulo College is remarkable. It deserves our attention and my prayer is that the model behind this school would in time be replicated in other areas too.

Today on Girl, it's Time, Caitlyn chats to Fran Steart. Fran is a local KZN dietician, wife and mom.
Frans heart wrenching story touched Caitlyn so deeply at a recent event where they were both speakers. In todays episode, Fran tells her story. She shares her story- raw and real. She shares of her beautiful, deep faith, she shares of learning to let go of dreams once real but too of what it looked like when those dreams were reignited in her heart. This episode will move you. We have no doubt. We have chosen to leave the episode unedited as we believe that Frans raw emotion is such a big part of her story of embracing vulnerability. No, the type we share after we've conquered a battle and come out on the other side. The real hard stuff. Sharing raw emotion, deep pain and utter despair, even while we're still in it.
May her story touch your heart as it has ours.
If anyone would like to get in touch with Fran for support or to invite her to share her story at an event/online platform, you are welcome to email her at fransteartdietitian@gmail.com.
There are moments that each of us know will stick with us for a long long time. Meeting Jodi Kroone was one of those for me.
Jodie is a beautiful 28 year old, who is wheelchair bound due to a car accident that happened 5 years ago. And yet despite her obvious discomfort and the challenges that each day holds for her, she embraces life like few I know.
In this episode, Caitlyn (me) and Jodie have an honest conversation about her journey in owning her story, tell it, and embracing it. It's an episode that I know that you'll love and want to share with everyone you know. She is one incredible girl and inspires us to live fully here in the now, despite discomfort or uncertainty. It's beautiful!!
Jodi - You are nothing short of inspirational. You challenge me to my core to live my life on purpose each day. Thank you for the gift that you are!
Caitlyn preaches regularly and for this episode, she decided to share one of her latest preaches with you. So bare with her, as live one was obviously live. Caitlyn speaks into the space of 'How one can starting noticing & acting on the opportunities that God presents us with everyday, to shine His light in this world.'
This episode is packed with truth, laughs, stories and depth. Here's a nugget from this episode to get you thinking... 'You cannot hide from the sun to escape darkness.. YET how many of us are doing just this? We're living busier lives in order to avoid the obvious darkness around us.'
Enjoy

This Interview with Natasja Foster will leave you inspired to your core. Tash's story begins with her sharing of her venturing into Africa and living with a poor Malawian family, on a mission trip.. but it was the head of this Malawian family's response to Tash's question "How can people back home help you?" that opened up the call God was stirring in her heart.
I have been deeply and profoundly challenged by Tash's sorry and the question as to what fruit God will produce in us, if only we'll TRUST HIM. I'm trusting that you will be too!!
Here is a direct link to Bibles Beyond Borders for those who's hearts were stirred and want to get involved in this incredible ministry.
Doctor Rosanne Symons is a mom of 5 teenagers and a medical doctor based in Durban, South Africa. I had the honour of hearing her story at a recent conference and it spoke to me so deeply that I couldn’t but ask her to share it with my audience.
Friends, this incredible woman felt the call of God to the Syrian nation, and her first trip to this land was during their war. She treated broken bodies and crushed spirits there 10 years ago, and has since been on a number of trips back to the surrounding countries (as the Syrian borders have since remained closed) to minister love to these war-stricken souls.
I encourage you to listen right until the end of this episode as her words not only inspire you but too minister to your heart about what it is that God is calling you to, and how to figure out what it is that makes YOU come alive, too.
And then, lastly, Rose is off to Syria-itself next month for the first time since her very first trip, as the borders have recently reopened due to their latest earthquake and the medical needs of its people. I know that she would NEVER ask this, and yet I too know that she self-funds these trips and that whilst many of us don’t feel called to the ‘mission field’ itself, we do feel called to financially contribute towards the lives and trips of those God is calling there. If this is you and you’d like to be a part of getting Rose to Syria, my account details are below for the Foundation I run.

"Adoption is an incredible privilege."
When you listen to Des say these words during today's live it should resonate with you as a Christian. It is a privilege that God would want us.
How many adoption stories have you heard filled with grief, pain, and insecurities... Maybe the comment, "...but they didn't want me." when referring to their biological parents. But the truth is, the beauty, the privilege is... "Someone else did!" Someone, somewhere still wanted, chose and called you to be their family. Their heir. Their son or daughter and that is a true privilege.
Des, thank you for being so raw with us about your story today. Listening to this will leave a huge mark on you as you tackle this theme of Identity the month of February.

Foundations and Faith
In today's message, Caitlyn opens up her heart and shares insight that she’s had in the aftermath of the flooding in KZN.

The end of the year is upon us and many of us are but lepherd crawling to the finish line. It is no secret that we are tired, burnt out and anxious BUT is that the way we HAVE to finish our year, or is there another way?
Today Caitlyn shares her heart on how we can reclaim our power in this season despite our feelings.
Enjoy,

To Walk out on the Water takes faith but many of us may be jumping too quickly to do those BIG things that we feel called to. When we look at the life of Jesus, we see that He priorities intimate times with the Lord far above what He places on the life He lives on earth. Today Caitlyn shares with you the sermon she just did at Olive Tree Church in Kloof, where she preached on the topic Pray, and then walk out on water.
Faith doesn't exclude us from suffering. Rather, it, along with time spent with our Father, equips us to face the storms that lie ahead of us. Hope on the other hand is so difficult to cling to when our circumstances don't speak to an end result that we long for. In today's episode, Caitlyn chats to Jaci Mun- Gavin, a local speaker, pastor and author. Jaci shares her heart-wrenching story and how God gave her a message of hope to cling to despite her circumstances. It is a beautiful episode that will no doubt have you in tears but too one that challenges each of us on a deep level, and reminds us of the eternal hope we have in Jesus.
Procrastination, the art of putting things off until a later date or even shelving ideas and dreams. I personally feel that the timing for this interview with pastor and speaker, Ang Keyter, couldn't be better. Many of us find ourselves exiting a world that was locked down and yet still we can't find it in ourselves to start new ventures, to dream new dreams, to un-shelf that which we've buried. Today Ang shares with us her personal experience with procrastination, what God has placed on her heart around why we park in a space of procrastination and how we can move out this space whilst still guarding our capacity.
Each of us has dreams and desires but even with full knowledge of these, it takes deep bravery to pursue these. Today I chat to Jodi, founder of Connected, an outreach program connecting people of society that have been forgotten, to a life of faith, love and fullness. I love her honesty and boldness and I personally have been so challenged by her message. I have no doubt you'll love this episode and its my hope that you'll find courage through Jodi's story to pursue YOUR dreams too!
We all have bad days, days when we doubt ourselves, our purpose and our worth. After reading a blog post by Laiela describing such a day, after which making the statement, 'I reminded myself that I have a shield that protects me from such darts… did I leave it behind somewhere?', I knew I had to get her onto this podcast channel. Today Laeila and I chat about the personal darts that have been fired at each of us recently, by the enemy, and how the need for a shield is every present. Laiela goes on to share with us some biblical background on shields and how this simple piece of scripture is in fact far more powerful than we may have previously realised.
Life can often feel like one long train ride. Over the mountain tops and through the valleys we go, sometimes off course and then back again but in the end in each season of life we live and we learn and we come out better. Mordecai urges Esther in Esther 4: 13 - 14 “… who knows, if it is for a time like this that you have become queen?”
Today I chat through this scripture and how time and time again I've felt like my life and career have been for such a time as this; only for the season to pass and a valley to follow. I go on to share 3 points on this topic of vague goals and how our lifelong journey matters more than we think.
Today we chat to Tarryn Graham, a successful physio, mum of 2, wife and woman of God.
Taryn Graham wrote earlier this year "I'm an over-achiever, capable, busy, many balls in the air type of person. But this year I learnt that THAT is not sustainable." Today we chat about burn out. What it looks and feels like to look okay to the world but to be exhausted beyond belief inside. Tarryn shares her story, the tools that have helped on her journey and too how Jesus has met her in her pain.
Boundary setting is hard. Fullstop. Whether you a people pleaser, work-o-holic or socialite – we all faced with the need to set boundaries, all the time. This holiday found me wrestling with the topic of boundaries and how I could personally be more convicted in my YESES and thus find it easier to say NO. Today I share on just this.
Are we raising resilient kids or are we their resilience? This question hit me like a ton of bricks as I had a conversation with my daughter today around tough emotions. It's so much easier as parents, and well anyone really, to numb our emotions, to criticise emotional outbursts or to control in an attempt to feel okay...but is this really what we want to teach our kids?
I also share the launch of my book and a few discount codes for those who order during pre-orders which close mid November.
I recently watched a short film on Debbie Ivins' story and it had me sobbing. I always thought that we cling to hope as we believe that eventually things will work out the way we want them to. Debbie's story is one of turning pain into purpose. Of hoping despite no earthly answers to her longings. It is powerful and moving, and I have no doubt will challenge your faith and hope, as it has me, on a deep and beautiful level.
At this time of year there is often a sudden drive to get in shape just in time for summer. Panic hits and many of us women turn to fad diets or crazy workouts, in attempt to look a certain way for summer. Today we chat to Physio, body coach & Supersport trainer, Christy-Ann, about her views on getting ready for summer, the right way!!
When it comes to speaking about death, often we’d just rather not. Today we chat to Claire and Sinal, the founders of POP Law. Their story & brand have impacted my life and their fabulous honesty brought me to tears in this recording. Finding a way to make the legal admin of dying easier was something they fell into quite by accident, but gracious it's no an accident that what they are doing is impacting MANY of us with tools that we never realised we needed!
Today we chat to Sharmon, a mum of 2, a registered councillor and the founder of Mum Well.
During her own journey into motherhood, Sharmon came to realise how important maternal support would be, and just how difficult it was to find. Today she shares her experience of a traumatic pregnancy and how she, today, offers the support to mums, that she so desperately craved.
There is a question at the heart of every woman, a question that often rules our lives: Am I beautiful? Am I worth fighting for?
Today I share my thoughts on why most woman I meet are secretly (or not so secretly) in love with Jamie from Outlander. And my views and experience on journeying with being wanted or accepted.
Today we chat to Women Health Physio and my go-to for all things pelvic health, Chantelle Wills.
About 3 weeks ago when lockdown began to lift, I found myself rushing to the shops and when trying to breath into my tummy - it was literally as if my breathe was stuck in my chest: I was rushing & stressed and couldn't help but internalise that the 2 were related. The mind-body connection & understanding the power of breathe can be life giving and today we find out why and how.
Whilst we've all learnt so much about ourselves during lockdown, there's no denying that we've given up lots too. For some this has been jobs, for others dream and others hope.
In this episode, I touch on the importance of being present within every season of our lives & how to feel and live purpose-filled lives without having a goal to work towards. It's real and raw, as always, and whilst I give 3 key tips to find purpose in YOUR now, I too, am living this alongside you.
Today we chat to Educational Psychologist, Naomi Holdt, on how we as parents can prepare ourselves, and our kids, for the reopening of schools. After this interview I alone felt inspired and empowered to get this new somewhat uncertain season, right. We chat through both the physical and emotional ways in which we as parents can support our kids as we approach the reopening of schools. We also look into separation anxiety and I even get a bit tearful as I share my own fears on the return to school.
Today I had the privilege of interviewing a fellow life coach, Sarah Braithwaite, on the topic of gut health and stress. Sarah knows a lot about gut health, but what I enjoyed most about this conversation was that she is not only well-rehearsed in the topic but has experienced everything first hand. Sarah shares her powerful story and she goes on to touch on how we too can take control of our gut health to ensure we thrive in the face of stress, with a few simple actionable's.
We are all juggling many balls at the moment, some of which will bounce back-up once dropped, others that would simply shatter. In this episode we discuss how many of us workaholics live from 1 holiday to the next, only to head back into work and straight down the road to burnt-out..yet again. Many of us have used lockdown to reassess life, balance and work, and in this episode Nats shares advice on building healthy boundaries and learning to stop apologising for prioritising what truly matters in life
Today, I chat to Meg Faure on The UnPodcast, about raising babies & toddlers, amidst pandemic.
We discuss: - Babies: routines, sleep cycles, sharing the load
- Toddlers: potty training, discipline/boundaries, schooling young kids at home
We also dig into Meg's new app: Parent Sense, which is hits the app world this week and is, in my mind, bound to become the absolute 'must-have' in the parenting world.
Today we chat to UK-based life coach, Fiona Moss about lessons in isolation.
We unpack the current realities and trauma of the world as we face the covid-19 crisis. Fiona shares how this crisis feels in the UK and then goes on to discuss her personal lessons during isolation.

Today, we chat to Jen Clements; a sobriety coach with a beautiful story of reclaiming freedom in her personal life & then inspiring 100's of others to do the same!
In Jen's words: 'As someone who used to wish the day away until wine-o-clock, and who struggled to stop once I started, I’ve been there.'
Jen shares her story with us as well as how her qualification as a lawyer led her to put her research skills to work and educate herself on all things alcohol, addiction and personal development.
Amidst despair, panic and overwhelm; we chat to well-known blogger at Justamamma about her approach to bringing calm to chaos, and shifting fear in their home to fun.
Mari-Louise's family are approaching isolation with intention, and this episode is packed with tips for mums and dads (and those without kids too) to keep sane, safe and faith alive, over the coming weeks.
Today we chat to Christy Herselman, the author of #wellconnected: How to be safe, wise & kind online. Christy is an expert on young digital users & how we as parents can empower our kids to explore the online space.
Christy shares her expertise on screen time, social platforms & advise for parents of young kids & how this journey begins right now!! We also go on to chat about the importance of creating a culture around social media and device-use in the home, from a super young age.
Life doesn't always go as planned, in fact it can go quite the opposite. Resilience is, simply put, our ability to bounce back when life throws us hardship.
Today, on her birthday, Caitlyn gets real & raw about her recent hospital experience with her son. She also shares 4 helpful habits that we can all adopt in the in-betweens of life, that will empower us with resilience when things don't go as we hoped or perhaps imagined.
It's time we make a stand as women & break this bloody taboo around periods. I grew up in a generation where periods were yuck, inconvenient and embarrassing AND I'm determined to raise my daughter to not buy into this crap.
Today we chat to Women Health Physio, Candice, around how societies view of menstruation is changing & how we as mums, aunts, big sisters can help the next generation to LOVE their womanhood!!
When asking for advice on going from 1 - 2 kids, the opinions range from 'it's insanity' to 'it's a dream, you've done it all before'.

We chat real motherhood: how she made this decision to have another baby & how she makes it work everyday. Its real, raw and beautiful.
Today we have the absolute delight of having well-known self-love advocate and international influencer, Victoria Niamh Spence, on The UnPodcast.

It's powerful, it's action-filled and it's inspiring!! You too, can LOVE all of you, Darling! Enjoy x
Children are designed to play. They learn, grow & adapt through play and yet many parents in this generation are getting in the way of true play.
Today we chat to OT & founder of Playmore, Anande, about the benefits of free play and how a lack of play has proven to increase childhood anxiety. Caitlyn reveals how she's seen a shift in her kids since adopting a new mindset on this theme..and we learn, from Anande, how and why over-scheduling our kids is harming them more than it's benefitting them.
The UnPodcast is back for a 2nd year.
Hello 2020!! Today I, Caitlyn, chat about how I'm approaching the year ahead: how I'm doing less, planning less and worrying less. But also how I'm saying goodbye to shrinking to the standards of the past. A new year. A new start. Let's do it, friends!
Today on The UnPodcast, we chat to Kelly Lynch.
"They always say that the darkest days bring the brightest light in the end, and in this case I can honestly say that was true. Just 6 months ago I was lying in ICU post miscarriage unknowingly about to start one huge life shift both nutritionally, physically and emotionally.." In today's interview we hear what light lay at the end of the tunnel for Kel & how dealing with our emotions truly can be healing, in more ways than we perhaps imagine.
Today our guest, Taryn Graham (Women's Health Physio) shares insight into wait for it...SEX. Painful sex to be more exact. Yip, I still giggle too when I say the words. You'd think I was 16 but gracious its taken me a good while to get comfy with terms that were once deemed taboo. 3 out of 4 women will experience painful sex at some point in their life..and well, thats worth discussing then. This episode is empowering on a self love, body acceptance, mental health and all kinds of other incredible ways!

So today on The UnPodcast: It’s about you, we chat KINDNESS. But nope today we’re not looking out, today we’re looking in. Adopting a kinder way to manage yourself, may just be your answer to a happier, more stable and in-turn more impactful life. Enjoy Beautiful friends and thank you again for your support here.
In today's episode, I refer back to a blog post I wrote a year ago on marriage. I touch on the hard-ness of marriage after kids, some tried & tested tips and how H & I are trying to make it work.
Less is more - the buzz phrase we're living by this year. Today I'm discussing how we're approaching 'less is more' in our home for 2020.
For me: Doing less, doesn’t mean doing nothing. When you do less, you have more energy, more time, you’re more present in your own life and have more passion available for the things that actually matter the most to you and your family!!
Today we chat to Doc Mom, Carmen, about the pros to being a doctor and a mum, and how she saw this combo and decided to empower mums & dads with the right tools for managing their kids health. We chat about summer holidays, what meds to pack, what to look out for and basically how to prepare to ensure you have a stress-free, safe holiday.
Happy Holidays everyone
Today Becky and I chat about the girl in the mirror. We both share about what we were like in our teenage years, what we wish we could tell THAT girl now. It's a real conversation between two girls in their late 20's, early 30's - it definitely brought on a few silent tears for me, but I love going there, in my head, and acknowledging who I was and am.
We also go on to chat about how we approach going into the December holidays and ending another year.
Today on The UnPodcast, I share why I'm throwing out my black pants, and the processes I walk through in reviewing a year passed.

We take a look at all 9 enneagram types (you'll be one of these) and then we dig into my personal type and how understanding my personality has benefited me, and my journey towards self acceptance and growth.
Today we have THE CHAT with expert, Christy Herselman. In Christy's words, "some conversations are tough to have, but it is often the most challenging dialogues which bring the greatest freedom and deepest connection."
We chat today about why more than ever before, we NEED to be having conversations around sex, with our children, as well as exploring tools to empower us, as parents or guardians, to do this.
Side hustles often begin as small-passions-pursued but have the potential to turn into successful, thriving businesses. Today on The UnPodcast, we interview guest, Natalie and chat about her side hustle, turned successful business, Mrs Milk.
Nats is honest and shares her passion with us on how she saw a need in the mommy world, began a side hustle whilst still working full-time, and what tools she feels made her side hustle the success it is today.
Contradictory to much of what you'll see on social media, you CAN love yourself without the perfect body. Yip, enter summer with a toned, fit body is lovely but not always possible or even realistic. This year may not have been the time for you to invest in your physical health, and thats okay, actually it's more than okay, it's normal. You're not normal though, I know that for sure, you're freaking exceptional - and today on The UnPodcast we chat about my top tips as you head towards Summer as YOU.
Today we chat 'Non-Negotiables', the personal boundaries that you put in place to protect your happiness, stability and relationships. I share my top 5 non-negotiabels with you and then walk you through a short, easy process to identify your own non-negotiables.
Resilience: "Rather than letting failure overcome them and drain their resolve, resilient people find a way to rise from the ashes." Whilst your genes may direct the extent to which resilience comes naturally to you, it doesn’t have to be your destiny. We can all learn to become more resilient, more quick to bounce back when life isn’t going as planned. Resilience is in fact a skill that we can all build upon, regardless of how resilient or not you feel you are right now.
We each have a story. One we may be proud or one, perhaps, thats too sore to even go there in our heads. Today on The UnPodcast: Its about YOU, I chat to Christina Masureik. She's a successful entrepreneur and a mum of 2 based in Cape Town. She has a story that I have no doubt will impact your life and inspire you to OWN your story, in whatever way that needs to play out, for you.
An emotional and inspiring chat to Nerine Jones, stylist and image consultant with a beautiful, touching story. We chat through Nerine's personal trauma (2018) and how her knowledge of style and organisation skills helped her through her 'worst nightmare'. Conversations around matching your wardrobe to your lifestyle, getting dressed through stress, becoming the CEO of your home and embracing a wardrobe that makes you feel fabulous, will leave you not just inspired but action-driven.
Today on the podcast, Becky and I chat all things social media. From the Psychology behind WHY we all feel so drawn to our phones, to how we both got into it, the benefits we see in it and then also the effects, we feel, that it can have on connection. It's a real conversation by 2 wellness podcasters who confidently confess our love/hate relationship with these platforms!
Fertility, IVF, Egg freezing..today I chat to embryologist, Dylan Ramsay, about the in's and out's of his industry.
I found this conversation so eye-opening and I have no doubt, it will do the same for you. Whether you're trying for kids OR have no idea if you ever want kids, this episode will give you power through knowledge to know your options when it comes to fertility.
What a privilege to chat to well-known Meg Faure about a topic that is VERY real in our home.
Prior to having kids, I was always under the assumption that you could mould a child how you saw fit...and then came SARAH. Feisty, fiery and in no way prepared to be moulded. She is our fussy eater and today I chat to Meg about her expert views on what makes a child fussy, what a mum can do to change this or cope with it in both baby and toddlers.
Enjoy

Women's health is a hot topic. Let's be honest how many of us are desperately out of touch with our bodies UNTIL we fall pregnant?!! Oh HI THERE BODY..
In the words of Lulu {Women’s Health Physio}.. "It is imperative that you understand the significant musculoskeletal changes that are happening to your body and the impact that pregnancy and child birth (via a natural delivery or caesarean) can have on your body and your pelvic floor.."
Today I chat to guest, Lulu (Jay) Becker about the female body
New on the UnPodcast: Its about you, I interview guest Christelle Crickmore.
We chat about her BIG career move away from corporate and towards a passion. Christelle also challenges and encourages us all to find a way to 'get out there' as mums, and pursue passions that make us come alive.
