Well, I learned that I would still know how to kiss another man other than my husband. That was the first thing, because I don't, I've heard other women say this. Like if you're with someone for so long, my first fear was like, am I, it's, is it my pride in the body? I don't even know. These lips haven't touched anybody else's lips for like a decade plus. I hope I know how to do that. But I did.
That came right back. But man, you know, I don't really think I allowed myself any real like journey of self. Until my kids got older, honestly, I was so busy with my career. I mean, that is really the truth of it is that that was the season. And I look back now and I'm like, how did I do that? I was a single mom. It was like 50 hours a week of work.
It's high pressure and traveling the world, being on red carpets, like everything. interviewing these A-list celebrities, like the pressure, immense pressure work-wise and crazy hours and weekends and all these things. And then two kids at home and juggling that and figuring out how you're gonna get them to school and how you're gonna make it to your interview on time.
And I mean, and then missing things and missing doctor's appointments and occasions at school and these kinds of things. So I was just in a real season of pulling it all off. I mean, really, I wasn't even, working out. I wasn't consistently, I mean, I am night and day different today than I was then.
And I understand why I hear from a lot of women who I talk with on my podcast about just like, where's the time? You know, we're always like, you see the jokes now on social media and people are like, there's so much to do and so much to think about and what you're eating and what you're putting in your body and how you're choosing and what you're shopping for and how, you know,
getting your kids all exposed to all the things and then you know all the emails from the school like it was literally all of that so i wasn't like going on retreats around the world and like trying anything new i was just staying above water my big philosophy at the time i actually have a tattoo on my wrist my big philosophy through that really demanding time in my life was be in the moment.
That's how I justified being away from my kids when I had to work and being with my kids when I was, was I was really practicing being present. And when I was with my kids, I was like on the floor, eye to eye with my kids. And when I was at work, I had a job to do and I had to not feel guilty about that. And so I was able to navigate that with just the practice of trying to always be in the moment.
And that did serve me. It really got me through those wild, wild moments. years and now that I am an empty nester bar I have four kids step they're not I'm not married to my partner but it's like we are and we he has four kids so now I'm back to little kids in my life but until just recently I was an empty nester and so in these past couple years I've
That's really when I've been able to do that kind of exploration of self and go on these adventures or go on these retreats around the world and trying my hot yoga and working out consistently. And I'm just so turned on by becoming the best version of myself and experiencing life at an optimal level. And so, you know, I think that's the nature of life for all of us.
You know, you can't be all the things all the time and there are different seasons that come your way. And I'm really enjoying this time in my life to actually go in a little bit and be more introspective and do those kinds of things for myself. It's a really great feeling. It's one of the best things about getting older. I tell everybody that I'm like, it's actually kind of awesome.
Yes, and it's especially hard for mothers, women with kids your age. I know it's so, so hard. So much is asked of us all of the time. And the thing is, we're so good at doing it. We're so capable of multitasking and doing all the things and being in all the places. But yes, I just think if you can really ground yourself and train your mind and have that mindset to just...
be in that moment, turn on all your senses. Like you're, you, you're, you're getting your diaper. Like, you know, they smell so good. Not the diapers, but the babies. Um, but like really leaning into those moments. I mean, all we really have, I mean, that's the name of my podcast for God's sakes. I mean, cat Sadler. Now it's really about the moment and it's all that is promised.
It's all that there really ever is. Even the past, we were in the now then. So it's, So get comfortable there.
Not that I can remember. You know what? It probably is, Pam, as it was so long ago that I'm like, the old brain fog is here and I can't really remember what everybody was thinking at the time. Again, I also think that part of that is because, again, so much is required from us to just get through our days, especially if you have...
people, humans that are depending on you, like that's where my focus was. And maybe that was a great thing because I wasn't distracted by opinions or, I mean, listen, I mean, I suppose that now thinking back, because I was on TV and a public person to some degree, it was newsworthy even, I guess, you know, that... Oh, now she's divorced.
Like it's always a hyphenate or it's always something that like follows me now. And, but look, I'm here talking with you about it in a, in a way that I hope is positive. So it's not all bad, but I guess that is the difference when there's a Wikipedia page or whatever that lists your whole life and your partners and all the things that's like going to follow you around forever, which it does.
And, and, and now I've got that cemented in history forever that I have been divorced. I remember posting, I was talking with one of my guests on my show and And we posted a clip on TikTok and it was about, we were talking about exes.
And I had said something like, well, with my second husband and like the comments, like people who, you know, didn't know me or whatever, like, can you imagine my second husband? Like they were all just like, you know, trolling me forever. And I was like, that's okay. I mean, I think honestly, again, when I was in my twenties starting out in television and people started saying,
having opinions long before social media and they would write an email to my television station and say horrible things about how bad my hair was or what an ugly shirt I had on or whatever. Like, you know, they hated my voice or whatever it was. Don't get me wrong. It crushed me. I mean, I was young. I was impressionable.
I was just starting out in my career and those kinds of things would totally devastate me. But the great thing about having a broadcasting career or having people who know who you are or whatever, I'm so used to people just talking shit for lack of a better way to say it, that it's, I, you grow a thick skin and it's actually great because you learn to just deflect all that.
