Hello, world

Nice to meet you:

If you’ve made it here, you probably know me already. But here’s a refresher: I’m Cate Barrett, a thirty-something mom of two, tech sales professional, wannabe creative, and former competitive marathoner. I’m living, working, and sweating in my forever hometown Austin, Texas.

Why this, why now?

I’d like my writing to have its own home off Instagram where it can breathe a bit more, not be part of the endless scrolling dopamine hellscape of that platform, and be more searchable and organized.

I used to have a lot to say about running. When I stopped running and training hard, it got harder to express myself. But every time I open up, I hear from people who have been in my shoes. There’s more to say about life right now, even if I don’t know what it is yet.

Thanks for being here.
