This was so beautiful and wholesome.I have enjoyed every single minute.
When she says, to "Mike and my family, sorry, not sorry, that tells you she is definitely a tough lady, who says her mind. I respect you considering i was also raised by a step mum. She did a good job too.

My respect for Cathy just sky roecketed after listening to Gathee’s view of her. Just shows that perception is not always reality. Folks thought they knew her but listening from the man who really knows her sets the record straight. Lovely episode.

This was a very wholesome and educative discussion. You guys have an amazing and beautiful marriage. I have definitely restored my faith in love and marriage, seeing that most times all we see negativity. I always had a closed mind to dating divorced men with kids, felt like it was just doomed to fail, This has thankfully opened my mind to new perspectives. Thank you for this conversation Cathy and Mike. Yes, we would love to have him back for more convo. Love and light to you guys.🧡🧡🧡 Happy holidays❣

I am not married, i tried and failed coz i had no information or equipment to face it. i never tried again and i don think i am even ready yet. in addition, i now come in a big package😃. Nevertheless, your marriage makes me feel good and hopeful. Not that i want to jump into any, but just to know that there are good (complicated) marriages out there and its doable! Lastly, i am a villager but i admire Class and elegance that you both exude! always here for more, nyarmama🥰
A humbling partnership with love. Spicing it up with live romance on podcast...babe Cathy❤
