It’s Not Too Late: Motherhood, Dreams, & Starting Over with Catalina Margulis

In this heartfelt episode of Your Cup of Joy, I’m joined by the incredible Catalina Margulis: book coach, publishing consultant, entrepreneur, and now debut author of the novel Again, Only More Like You. Catalina is also a mother of four and someone who, like many of us, is navigating the tangled beauty of motherhood, self-discovery, and creative ambition all at once. Her new book explores the messy middle of life: two best friends, approaching 40, both wondering if it’s too late to rewrite their stories. It’s a story about falling apart and finding yourself again, with heart, humor, and hope. It’s also one that Catalina wrote in the middle of her own transformation.Our conversation goes far beyond the book, delving into the real-life struggles that inspired it. We talk about the emotional terrain of raising kids while chasing creative dreams, the guilt that creeps in when you dare to prioritize yourself, and how Catalina found her footing by making peace with imperfection. She shares how small rituals—like morning writing sessions, movement, and prayer—became non-negotiables, not just for her sanity, but as a way to show her kids what it looks like to live with intention.For anyone wondering if it's too late to begin again, Catalina has a message for you: it’s not. Our timing isn’t wrong, and there’s still room for the dreams we’ve buried under diapers, deadlines, or doubt.If your cup feels a little fuller after this episode, I’d so appreciate a rating, review, or share as it really supports the show.
