Freida Pinto on Managing Self-Doubt, Postpartum, and Life After Slumdog Apr 04, 2023

Show notes

On this week's episode of "It Sure is a Beautiful Day" Catt is joined by critically acclaimed actress Freida Pinto. It's easy to be a mega fan of this extremely smart, talented, and gorgeous female from movies like Slumdog Millionaire, Hillbilly Elegy, and Rise of the Planet of the Apes, but it's her spirit and kindness we get to know today.

In this deeply personal in-person conversation, Freida opens up, possibly for the first time, about her miscarriage that left her devastated emotionally and wrecked physically. Now a mother of her almost two-year-old son, Rumi, she is an avid advocate of post-partum awareness and now educates and informs as Chief Impact Officer at Anya.

We hear about Freida's motherhood journey but also learn intimate details about her relationship with her husband Cory. How she literally manifested the partner of her dreams and how they work on their marriage as new parents and try to stay connected during demanding times. Relatable!

Then, after hearing about Freida's upbringing in Mumbai, we talk about her rocket fast catapult to fame after Slumdog Millionaire, the challenges of working in Hollywood as a person of color, and how she's found purpose and meaning in her work with her production company, Freebird Films.

Claude Home Founder Maggie Holladay Gets Real about Race and Mental Health Feb 21, 2023

Show notes

As a fan of Claude Home and its impeccable design aesthetic, Catt was dying to get to know its founder Maggie Holladay in Part 2 of our series profiling remarkable women from the interior design world. And although we learn about Maggie’s business in this episode, the conversation gets deep and very personal quite quickly.

In a refreshingly real exchange, Maggie opens up about her turbulent childhood growing up mixed-race in an all-white community. She details the direction from her father to always try and “pass as white” as he felt it would position her better for success as she got older.

Struggling with her identity as a young woman would carry over into her adult life as Maggie has faced many mental health challenges and to this day works consistently on feeling good in her skin. We are so grateful Maggie felt she had the space to share so honestly and believe this episode will help others who may face similar obstacles.

Amber Lewis of Amber Interiors on How Her MS Diagnosis Changed Her Life for the Better Feb 14, 2023

Show notes

She has one of the most aspirational design businesses in the game – surely you follow her on Insta – but who is the woman behind Amber Interiors? In part one of our design series, we meet the awe-inspiring Amber Lewis. What was booked to be a conversation about the design world and life as an epic female entrepreneur, turned into an utterly vulnerable heart to heart between Catt and Amber about so many very real things.

Yes, Amber is running an empire now selling furniture and home decor, designing homes for the mega wealthy, and dropping the occasional best-seller in between – but she’s also a mother and wife living with Multiple Sclerosis. How did this debilitating diagnosis change her approach to life? Her candor and outlook will leave you amazed.

What a treat getting to know this honest AF, aspirational woman. A must-listen episode, one we hope you’ll share and pass along.

Catt's Son Turns 18 and Katherine Schwarzenegger Pratt Drops By to Talk Mommyhood Feb 07, 2023

Show notes

This episode is about all things Motherhood. First, Catt takes us down memory lane as her son Arion turns 18! Yes, she’s all up in her feelings as you can imagine. Today, Catt details that special season with two small children, hosting a live morning tv show, and surviving a very demanding, rather grueling time in her life.

Then, author Katherine Schwarzenegger Pratt drops by to tell us all about her new book Good Night, Sister. In her fifth literary offering we hear about the special bond between her and her sister Christina and why family is always at the heart of everything she does.

Now mom to two girls, Eloise and Lyla, Katherine opens up about the reality of motherhood and all of its gifts and all of its challenges. She talks about why creating special dedicated time with her husband, actor Chris Pratt, is critical to her family’s well-being.

And what part of herself is Katherine working on in 2023? We hear about her supremely personal goals. We’re gonna guess you might be able to relate! Catt and Katherine cover it all – mental health, letting go of the small stuff, and being present for life because as our almost-empty-nester-host Catt knows all too well, it flies by!

Good Night, Sister is out now. Follow along with Katherine on IG where you can also watch her series about parenting: BDA.

Why It Takes Grit and Guts to Create the Life (and Business) You Desire Jan 31, 2023

Show notes

A cancer diagnosis at twenty-five years old led 8 Greens Founder Dawn Russell on a journey to heal herself. As a result, she perfected a recipe that not only helped save her life, but now improves the health of humans all over the world.

Currently nearly 90% of all Americans are deficient in green vegetables and Dawn is working to change that. Hear about Dawn’s several year-long journey to create a product made with all real greens with zero sugar that actually tastes good, now in the form of tablets, gummies, powder and lollipops.

But this wildly popular and quality product wasn’t born overnight. Dawn details her determination to “get it right” by traveling the world, never settling, following her gut, and demonstrating grit all along the way.

An empowering story and important reminder why we need our veggies but also how easy it can be to incorporate them into our lives and the lives of those we love (yes you kids!)
