[ep 100] Catherine Roscoe Barr on healing from the inside out, rewilding & coming home to yourself

[ep 100] Catherine Roscoe Barr on healing from the inside out, rewilding & coming home to yourself

Author: with May Globus May 28, 2025 Duration: 54:37

Catherine Roscoe Barr is a neuroscience-based wellness coach, a longtime fitness professional, and a lifestyle journalist whose work has quietly transformed the lives of many. Her new book, FEEL BETTER NOW: The Life-Changing Power of Simple Pleasures, is a powerful offering — one that invites us back to ourselves through the rituals, reflections, and rewilding that make life feel not just livable, but delicious.

Her story is one of deep personal transformation — from growing up in a home where emotions lived beneath the surface, to finding her own voice through movement, writing, and eventually, helping others do the same. She has built a life’s work from lived experience: turning her healing into curriculum, and her curiosity into a business that’s as intimate as it is expansive — from private coaching to retreats, keynotes, and now, her beautiful book.

In this conversation, we talk about how home is shaped by movement; how long love can grow when it’s met with intention; what people often misunderstand about wellness; the quiet courage it takes to rescue yourself; and much more.

There’s a particular texture to a life built around creating something meaningful, whether that’s a business, a work of art, or a new path forward. The Craft with May Globus pulls back the curtain on those lives through unhurried, intimate dialogues. May sits down with a diverse range of creators, founders, and pioneers, but the focus here is less on glossy success stories and more on the raw material of their journeys. You’ll hear the nuances of their creative process, the pivotal moments in their personal backstory, and how their philosophy shapes their daily existence. It’s an ongoing exploration of the shared humanity behind different kinds of work. What makes this podcast uniquely immersive is its commitment to being an audio-visual experience. Each conversation is accompanied by rich, editorial-style photography that provides a deeper, more sensory connection to the guest and their world. Think of it like a beautifully composed magazine feature that you can listen to, where the images and the dialogue work in concert. Tuning into this podcast feels like gaining quiet, privileged access to the minds of people who are thoughtfully shaping culture, one idea at a time.
