Have you signed up for the Cat Coach Diaries on Substack yet?

Released twice a month, Cat Coach Diaries are inspirational journal entries about life and happiness and how to live well, told from the point of view of my three cats, Aragorn, Princ & Apricot, with a bit of humor and lightness to it.

New entry is coming out this Sunday and don’t tell the boys that I know, but it seems it’s gonna be a bit of a special one this time, one for which they might have united and put together all their wisdom for one unique birthday post!🙊 So don’t miss it!

Link to sign up is in the bio 😉

Our spring cleaning is upon us 😉 And on our fi

Our spring cleaning is upon us 😉

And on our first day, we're starting at the heart of every home - which is the kitchen! Because what is a home without good food, right? And thus, clean and well organized kitchen 😉

This is going to be an ongoing theme for the upcoming 7 days (or for as long as you need it).

I want you to go to your pantry or fridge and take out all the things that have been lying around for way too long. Some might be ready to go because they're past their expiry date. Some might be ready to leave your kitchen simply because you know that you'll never finish them (seriously, if you were to finish them, you would have done so already!). And some, that don't really go off (like my plantain flour for example) will become your next fun challenge!

In the upcoming days, I want you to come up with creative ways to eat these ingredients that's been lying around and which would be a shame to throw away! Make it your cooking goal this week - ask yourself “what can I make out of this so it doesn’t go to waste, and so I can create some space?”

I promise you, using up these ingredients will feel so good! And very likely will also result in a slightly refreshing cooking or snacking experience.

Remember, decluttering is not about getting rid of just the physical stuff. It is so much more than that. It’s one of the most powerful ways to clear some stagnant energy in our lives and to help our mental health. So, apart from the obvious benefits, there are also those that are invisible to the eye and yet could be, without much exaggeration, life-transforming.

So - what are some of the ingredients you're ready to use up? 😉 Share your photos in the stories and don’t forget to tag me or head over to our private community, the Happy Circle (link in bio) for some extra accountability!

I can't wait to see what you're letting go of and what you're creating 😉

I, for one, made some awesome plantain pancakes for lunch today! 😁

Every spring I feel a burst of new energy. Every s

Every spring I feel a burst of new energy. Every spring I feel the need to shed the old, and plant the new. It is the time of awakening and we can see new life bursting everywhere around us. So it is no wonder, that as part of nature that we are, we too feel this new start deep in our bones, deep in our souls.

For me personally this feeling is magnified by my birthday which falls on the 24th of March, just 3 short days after the astronomical beginning of spring. So this time of year is a true rebirth for me.

To support this rebirth, I gifted myself three days of pure digital detox, lots of quiet time and lots of space to ignite that new spark of life. To realize what is to be let go of, what layers of life to be shed off. And what seeds need to be planted to realize my dreams, and the life I want to live, the person I want to be(come) and the goals I want to reach.

With that kind of shedding also comes the need to let go of the mental clutter as well as the physical clutter. In other words, it is time for some good old spring cleaning 😉

And so as I’m shedding what no longer serves me, I started doing some decluterring of my space too… and thought, I might not be the only one who needs it 😉

And so!! With that said, I invite you to my 7 Days of Spring Decluttering Challenge! With a theme for each day, to make it fun and doable, so we can all enter Easter with clean spaces, also lots of new energy, and be ready to receive and welcome some new things/people/opportunities into our lives.

Are you with me? We’re starting this Wednesday and I’ll post more details about the challenge tomorrow! 😉 So stay tuned!

The sound of birds singing, cool breeze on my ski

The sound of birds singing,
cool breeze on my skin,
I lay down on the bench and take it all in.
Daffodils so happy to see the sun,
filling my heart with joy with their vibrant charm.
Then rain so soft and cool,
Watering the land so ready to bloom.
Welcome spring, is all I can say,
I’ve been waiting for you and your warm embrace.
☀️
Happy 1st Day of Spring everyone! How was the first spring day for you?

It was one of those days - my hooman came back hom

It was one of those days - my hooman came back home after a week-long absence. I was feeling somewhat itchy with anticipation all day long, as I could feel her returning. I was restless and couldn‘t even take any delicious naps that day, the most favorite part of every cat’s day (that and mealtime of course). But sometimes, when too much is going on, even masters can fail at their innate privilege, and so did I that day. So you can imagine how I was feeling by the end of the day!

However, when my hooman arrived later that night, I couldn’t contain my excitement. It meant our bedtime routine was back! And so were the cuddles. As I rushed my hooman to bed that night, and as I climbed to bed with her, I started purring extra loud as I couldn’t contain my happiness. It was absolute bliss for me! And it was then that I realized how complicated hoomans are.

You see, when we cats are happy and content, we show it. And we’re loud about it. As we are when we’re unhappy about something (although, silent treatment sometimes works too, as does turning your back to your hoomans as I’ve seen Apricot to practice quite often, with mixed results though). Anyway, the point is - you KNOW when cats are happy because we can’t help but purr. And why should we even try to contain our happy state? It’s the best feeling in the world! And it’s literally good for your health too

.But hoomans… well, hoomans are so complicated. For some peculiar reason, they try to hide their emotions at all costs and even pride themselves for that if they succeed. I’m not quite sure what is there to be proud of, but one thing is for sure and that is, that this behaviour is pretty damn confusing.
