Today on the podcast, we’re joined by the amazing Cathy Madeo! We dive into her early days of teaching everywhere, from studios to wherever she could roll out a mat, and how that eventually led her to building a thriving online yoga business.
We chat about the signs that it might be time to shift fully online, the ups and downs of social media, staying consistent, and finding growth through persistence. Cathy shares how never giving up (and trying everything to see what sticks) has been key to her success. We also delve into the bittersweet process of transitioning to online classes and making significant changes in your teaching journey. Cathy turns the mic on us and asks about our dreams, which sends us spiraling into a hilarious and honest tangent about our own social media struggles and self-expression online.
And of course, it wouldn’t be a yoga podcast without some funny classroom moments. Cathy shares a few unforgettable stories about farts and yoga pants, and Bradshaw and I chime in with our own tales of awkward distractions while teaching and filming online.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
