S02E07 Preparing for a Year of Mystical Thinking with Emma Howarth

This month we welcome in more intentional magic inside the Cat Coach Café - and beyond. Author Emma Howarth comes to share with us some secrets to bringing more magic into our lives, exploring our passions and what it truly means to have a sustainable (mystical) self-care practice that works for you. And of course, she tells us all about her own cat master and how he inspired her life. We dive into some (Czech) February folk traditions which once again offer an opportunity for feasting, explore the fascinating history of St Valentine’s Day, and find out what the year of Fire Horse has in store for us according to the Chinese calendar. We will revisit our childhood hobbies and see why they are so good for us even today, we will rise from the ashed like Phoenix inspired by Ash Wednesday, and finally, it wouldn’t be Cat Coach Café without some wisdom from your Cat Coaches, and this time it’s Princ who stands up to the task, and who will invite you to be curious and explore the new things as well as the old.
