We are Made for More

Send me a text message! I’d love to hear from you!

As the leaves turn and the seasons shift, so do the chapters of our lives, and no one knows this dance better than my friend Cat Donohue. Join us for a heartwarming conversation where Cat, a beacon of resilience and creativity, shares her globetrotting journey from the charming streets of Lucerne to the electrifying avenues of New York City. Her story, laced with the aroma of French patisseries and the sounds of bustling metropolises, is a reminder that home isn't just a place, but a feeling found in new beginnings.
Brace yourself for a tale of transformation that blooms in the most unexpected places, as Cat opens the door into her world which traverses the landscape of luxury fashion to motherhood to starting her own business. Her stunningly original jewelry and striking home decor line, made of ropes and knots, took root amidst the pandemic's quiet. Discover how a makeshift macrame project evolved into a moment of connection and creativity, with each piece infused with the intention to spread joy. We celebrate the power of repurposing the simplicities that surround us and the bravery it takes to share your craft, an inspiration that could very well ignite your own hidden talents. Be inspired to overcome your fears and achieve your dreams, leaving no regrets behind.
As our laughter echoes through this episode, so does the wisdom of persistence and the embrace of technological and difficult frontiers. We approach the importance of attributes such as discipline and consistency. Cat not only weaves threads but also weaves together a tribe, proving that your vibe truly attracts your kindred spirits. Together, we traverse the landscape of social media, discovering how the click of a button can open worlds of opportunity. So, if you're craving a dose of positivity and a nudge towards your creative potential, let the story behind Cat and her Smiling Knots be your guide.
