💌 The Podcast I Needed Didn’t Exist…So I Created It
From the founder of Chico Cat Café…
I never set out to start a podcast.
I just wanted to build something that mattered — something cozy and heart-led, where cats could be safe, people could slow down, and purpose could live in every detail.
Back in 2022, I opened my cat café in a small college town with less $50K, a lot of late-night Googling, and an even deeper belief that the world needed more spaces of softness.
What I didn’t have?
A guide. A voice. A podcast that said,
“Hey, you’re not crazy for dreaming this — and you’re not alone.”
So I created it.
This podcast is the one I longed for while I was opening my doors – a beacon for dreamers and cat lovers alike, offering shortcuts I had to find. The hard way and stories I desperately needed to hear.
✨ This is a love letter to you — the cozy visionary.
If you’re here, I imagine you’ve felt that same pull I did.
To create something warm and meaningful.
To give animals a second chance.
To design a business with soul.
To gather a community that feels like home.
And if you’re like me, maybe you’ve also felt:
- Overwhelmed by where to start
- Frustrated by how vague or scattered the advice out there is
- Torn between dreaming big and staying grounded in real life
I see you.
That’s exactly why I created the Cat Café Confidential Podcast.
It’s the podcast I wish I had when I was starting out.
The honest one. The warm one. The one that didn’t just give checklists—but companionship.
🐾 What I Hope for You
I hope you listen and feel less alone.
I hope you dream boldly, but never forget to rest.
I hope you create a business that feels like an extension of your values—not a departure from your joy.
I hope this podcast is your permission slip, your guide, and your gentle nudge forward.
And while I didn’t have a roadmap when I began…
you do.
Through this show and the resources I’ve created, you’ll get:
- The real steps I took to bootstrap our café
- The lessons I learned the hard way (so you don’t have to)
- The shortcuts I wish someone had handed me
- A community of aligned, heart-led PodCATs who are dreaming alongside you
You don’t have to do this alone.
Not anymore.
🎁 Come Curl Up & Begin
Some beautiful resources are in the works behind the velvet curtain to help you find your next steps, your calm, and your confidence.
🐈⬛ This Isn’t Just a Podcast. It’s a Soft Start to Something Brave –
and maybe even the beginning of something a little… mythic.
It’s a doorway into your next chapter.
It’s a way to learn, grow, and align — at your own pace, in your own way.
Something more is stirring behind the scenes, too—
something for the dreamers who are already running their cafés, and wondering what comes next.
That part is still behind the velvet curtain…
but when it’s ready, you’ll feel the invitation like a ripple.
I’m so honored to walk beside you as you explore the path ahead.
With warmth,
Jodi
