One of my absolute favor interviews you’ve done to date ❤️ Cate is just a gem. And the concepts and ideas discussed were so inspiring and nourishing. I would love more interviews with Cate as a guest in the future. Thank you, ladies. ?
Cate is a gem! We look forward to having her with us again for another episode 🙂
I would truly be interested in a follow-up podcast with Cate now that she’s been re-draped as a Bright Spring. I must say that while she was gorgeous in the Dark Autumn palette, she absolutely glows and is even more stunning in the Bright Spring palette.
We hope to have Cate as a guest for a second episode in the near future. Always so many topics to discuss with Cate, including her new Season!
Thank you, Christine. I look forward to all the second episode has to offer. I applaud Cate, Terry, Jorunn, and you for sharing your insights.
Jan, this is such a sweet comment! I’m looking forward to coming back for a second episode.
What a great Podcast. As always Christine and Jorunn, you bring us so much insight and thought provoking content. LOVED getting to hear Cate talk about her creative process when she’s serving her clients.
I love the concept of a Soul Board, and I’ve tried many times to compile one, but I get stuck between too much “analysis” followed by “Oh forget this dreaming and get back to work.” LOL. Having looked at Cate’s board, I am curious to see how her redraping and living in her Bright Springness will influence her Soul Board.
On behalf of both Christine and myself, thank you so much Melanie! And we really enjoyed talking with Cate so it’s nice to hear that the listeners enjoyed it as much as we did.
I’ll let Cate know about your comment, and ask if she might want to answer that. Now you made me curious too 🙂
Hi Melanie! This is an awesome question. Most of my Soul Board was created after being draped as a Dark Autumn, so it was definitely influenced by that color story, even when I tried not to let it be (one reason I love to have clients start on their soul board before a PCA/PIA if possible!) I still resonate with most of the images on my own board, especially the more playful and sweet ones, but overall the board feels less related to my style than it once did.
I’ve started a new board that’s more of a style/soul board hybrid, and it feels like a good reflection of how I’m working with Bright Spring. For now it’s private, but I’m excited to share it eventually!
