- Cat Boyko: Welcome to the Dangerously Alive podcast. I'm Cat Boyko and this isn't a podcast about achieving more. It's about being so fully who you are that you feel dangerously alive. Throughout this show, we'll be exploring somatics, which is that mind-body connection. We'll have conversations around culture, science, feminine leadership, pleasure, and what it means to be. Embodied. Because it is my mission that all women are showing up and living their full bodied hell yes life. But I know that that's not easy. In fact, just five years ago, I had gotten to the top And I realized I wasn't happy. On paper, my life was Instagram ready. I was an executive producer in New York City. I owned a beautiful apartment. I got to travel the world filming in places like Cape Town and Prague and LA, working with celebrities and Oscar-nominated directors and some of the most incredible creative people you would ever meet. But I also suffered from crippling anxiety. I had chronic pain that no doctor could seem to diagnose. And I was depressed And so I decided to step away from the life that looked perfect on paper. And I decided to go and find the one that felt alive. in that seeking, I have practiced and studied from the scientific to the spiritual. I am a certified somatic and embodiment coach, and I've studied under some of the world's leading psychologists and thought leaders, such as Dr. Scott Lyons, Dr. Peter Levine, Manuela Mishka Reeds, and so many more. And I am on a journey where I continuing to learn and grow myself so that I can bring these tools back to you and those that I work with. the guest I bring on won't be chosen for what they achieve on paper, but instead for their level of aliveness, that they are showing up fully as themselves in the world, even when it's hard. We'll be sharing their wisdom and lessons that they've gained along the way. And it is my deepest wish that these guests give you permission to show up more fully as you because we need women showing up in their fullness, sharing their magic, cheering one another on and supporting one another. Something to note, my solo episodes will be off camera. And that is intentional I find that when it's just me speaking to a camera, I start to perform and I get nervous. And so When it's camera off, I get to drop in and really go slower And feel what is true and authentic for me. So that is my promise to you, my truth, my vulnerability, and everything I have learned along the way. So I invite you to follow Dangerously Alive wherever you listen. And your time is precious. I know that. And I thank you for spending it here. I'm Cat Boyko and it is my hope that you leave each and every episode feeling just a little bit more alive.
