Asking questions like "who am I," "why am I here," and "what is my purpose?" can be daunting, but it's important to explore these questions if we want to live a life with intention and meaning. Sometimes it takes life-altering events to force us to ask these questions, but it's never too late to start. In part one of "Finding Your Purpose: When Things Fall Apart," we chat about coffee, have a few laughs, and start to discuss how easy it can be to allow our jobs to define us. So join us for part one as we dive into Alex's different jobs while living in Edmonton and quickly discover that having hard conversations is, well... hard. This episode will set the scene for part two, where we go deeper into Alex's story and the complexities of finding meaning and clarity when everything seems uncertain.

Have you ever felt like you met someone and immediately knew you would be friends? Did you ever have a really deep conversation with a pal and think to yourself, “I wish I recorded this,” or say something inspiring and think, “damn, that was good.” Have you ever felt a calling, an urge, or a pull to share your story, or finally, take that leap of faith and follow a dream or passion? Did you see our podcast name and say, “what the heck does that even mean?” We discuss all this and more, have a few laughs, and simply introduce ourselves to anyone who cares in the inaugural episode of Cats Chats and Coffee – a podcast from two Halifax girlies just trying to start a conversation (and figure out our volume control…yikes!)

Hey everyone, we have some bittersweet news to share, and we wanted to have this conversation face-to-face. Over the past nine months, we've poured our hearts and souls into Cats Chats and Coffee, creating a podcast that we are truly proud of. From the early stages of branding and crafting episode outlines to navigating the steep learning curve of equipment and editing, we've built a genuine passion for this incredible community. Season 1 has been a journey of growth, not only in the world of podcasting but also in discovering more about ourselves as women. Through moments of anxiety, tears, shared laughter, and the occasional bump in the road, we've had the opportunity to heal, share our stories, and uncover what truly brings us joy. It's with a heavy heart that we announce Liv's departure from the podcast. She has made the decision to pursue other passions and embark on new adventures. Liv's invaluable contributions as a co-host will be deeply missed, and we wish her nothing but love and success in her future endeavors. As for the future of Cats Chats and Coffee, the path forward may be uncertain at the moment. I, Alex, will be taking some time to readjust and reflect, but I hope to return and continue sharing my knowledge and stories with all of you. We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to each and every one of you who has been with us from the beginning, as well as those who have joined along the way. Your unwavering support and love for the podcast have not gone unnoticed, and we are truly grateful for the encouragement to carry on this adventure in the future. If you're interested in joining me as a co-host for an episode in Season 2, I would love to hear from you! Reach out to me at info@catschatsandcoffee.com. And don't forget to follow Cats Chats & Coffee on Instagram @catschatsandcoffee, as well as my personal account @alexandrias_xo for updates and future announcements. Thank you once again for being a part of our journey. Here's to sipping coffee and chatting together, embracing the unknown and continuing to grow. With love and gratitude, Alex & Liv
