Ep. 96: Figuring out how to reclaim your wellbeing through simple pleasures, neuroscience, and self-compassion.
This is a milestone episode—it’s my first-ever in-person podcast recording! You can watch the beautiful set and full conversation over on YouTube while you’re tidying up, doing dishes, or getting ready for your day.
My guest, Catherine Roscoe Barr, is a neuroscience-based wellness coach, lifestyle journalist, veteran fitness professional, founder of The Life Delicious, and bestselling author of FEEL BETTER NOW: The Life-Changing Power of Simple Pleasures. She helps people merge science-backed tools with mindfulness-based practices to create sustainable health, joy, and empowered living.
In this conversation, Catherine shares:
+ How her personal journey from burnout and depression led to a revolutionary approach to wellness
+ The surprising science of the vagus nerve and how to activate it for calm and connection
+ Why simple pleasures and “micro moments” can make the biggest difference in your wellbeing
+ Her “flexible framework” for self-care—designed for real life, not perfection
+ The role of self-love in bridging the gap between knowing and doing
Whether you’re feeling stretched thin, craving more balance, or simply ready to feel better now, this episode is packed with practical, inspiring strategies you can start using today.
