Tell me, have you been enjoying these new bonus confidence classics episodes we've been dropping on you every week? We've literally hundreds of episodes for you to listen to. So these bonuses are a great way to help you find the ones you may have already missed. I hope you love this one as much as I do. I'm so excited for you to meet my guest today, Catherine Gordon.
She's a wife, a mother, businesswoman, movie producer, best-selling author of Relationship Grit, and host of the Catherine For Real podcast. A graduate of Old Dominion University, Catherine became a top producer in sales for several companies before deciding to follow her passion as an actress and model.
After the birth of her children, she focused on raising them and helping operate her husband's growing speaking business. and consulting business. That's an understatement.
With her children off to college, she has returned for her second act, investing in real estate and movies, mentoring women, including your girl right here, supporting several charities, writing and speaking to audiences about the keys to a great relationship and loves. Sharing the truth on her podcast, Catherine Forreal. She's my girl. She's the best. Catherine, thanks for being here.
Oh my gosh. Right back at you. I'm so excited. So, all right. I want to jump right into this guys. I have never talked about this on the podcast before. So this is going to be straight out of my comfort zone. That's why I needed Catherine to be here with me. So I very rarely talk about my personal life.
I very rarely am excited about my personal life because frankly, I don't meet a lot of great guys. However, I I was set up by an incredible person on a blind date and I was more nervous and caring about this date than ever that I ever remember in my life. And Catherine was holding my hand through the whole process and helping me get so ready.
And Catherine, the difference that you made for me and helped setting me up for success and that date up for success was something so powerful. I wanted to share it with my listeners.
Oh my gosh. And guys, so many people will say that to me. Oh, you should just read this book, read this book. This literally, I dropped everything and went and read Relationship Brit immediately. It's such an easy read. I read it in, I think it was two hours, right? It's not hard to read. The format, number one, is super cool.
And by the way, this episode right now is for anyone that maybe you're going on a first date. Maybe you're in a relationship. Maybe you've been married for 50 years, Catherine, because I know you shared with me an older woman that really got some massive wisdom that shifted her relationship. This is for anyone that's in any type of romantic relationship, correct? But hold on.
It's not just for that.
Well, I'll tell you, I needed this book 20 something years ago because I, Some of it, and I just want to jump right in. First of all, at the back of the book, there's a Catherine shares 11 tips on how to have a great relationship. And then John does the same, you know, one from a male perspective and one from female, both super valuable and right to the point.
And so I remember one of the things he said to me was don't forget to like drill down on those points, you know, before you go in there and keep them fresh in your mind. So to be funny, I brought them with me, you know, on the date. And so he and I were reading them together and like going through them.
But what was interesting was, and this maybe you're going to be like, oh gosh, Heather, no wonder why you never have successful relationships. Number four, don't compete. And I understand now having read your book, of course, don't compete with someone you're in a relationship. However, my entire life in relationships, I competed. To me, again, I'm just, I'm not perfect. I'm far from it.
I don't know why I did that. I thought it was funny. I thought it was fun. I thought it was a game. Whatever it was, to me, I wanted to be the fastest. I wanted to be the one maybe that grabbed the build. Whatever stupid thing it was, I wanted to win. And because of these tips, because of this book, and because of him and I discussing it, That day, something came up. I forget what it was.
Something stupid about sports. And immediately my mind went to, well, I'll win. I'll find a way to win. And he looked at me. He said, I thought Catherine said we're not supposed to compete. We're on the same team. And it was like that epiphany moment. And I said, you're right. Like we're here to be on the same team, not to go against each other. And it really flipped something inside me. Yeah.
You know, you're not alone, though.
It's so true. And it took me back to thinking back on sport teams that I've been on. I was never trying to outdo someone that was next to me, right? I was trying. No, never. If they were on my team, I was there to like high five them and encourage them and tell them to get back up. And you could, it's a complete mind shift that makes, it makes all the sense in the world.
Once it was explained to me, however, no one had ever explained that simple idea. change that I could make. And it was really powerful.
It's so simple, guys. You have to dig into this. If you're anything like me, you are too busy doing 800 different things in a day to sit around and think about how you can improve your life. But there are some simple things that you can do that make a huge difference. I mean, let's stop and think about having the right undergarments. They make a huge difference.
But too often, we are not taking the time to find out what the right product line is. Well, I found it for you. If you didn't know, I live in Miami where it is extremely hot already this time of year. We are already sweating like crazy. So I'm always on the hunt to find a bralette that can beat the heat and the humidity without irritating my skin.
