MY CURRENT FAVE:
featured shows:
I'm Cathleen, your new (foster) mom friend.
I'm also a psychotherapist in private practice who wants to teach my fellow foster mamas the skills that ACTUALLY work to overcome stress, anxiety and overwhelm...'cause ain't nobody got time for that!
hey there!
Nothing lights me up more than the prospect of being able to support and encourage women, at any stage of their foster care journey. If more women felt connected and safe as foster parents, would more of them decide to foster? Would less children be waiting for a safe place to land? I'm here to find out.
My superpower is helping foster mamas become the best version of themselves while pursuing the best foster care experience possible.... one with abundant freedom, joy, and peace.
