The Catmaste Chronicles Podcast


The Catmaste Chronicles will feature a collection of conversations from people who have inspirational stories to share. The main topic of the podcast is about well-being and how our beloved pets have contributed to our mental and physical wellness.

We have a variety of guests that come from all walks of life from coaches, personal trainers, yogi’s artists, cat daddies and mummies, who have such interesting stories to share. We created this podcast to give space and opportunity to people who are passionate about wellness and animals.

As a cat sitting company owner, my team and I know how much we get from doing this job with cats. It is literally the best job I have ever had and it comes with so many therapeutic benefits. We aren’t just caring for cats, they are also caring for us and showing us in their little unique ways and quirks. So we are interested in bringing together the topics of cats and well-being to see just how fitting they are together.

So whether you want to bring some wellness into your life or just love listening to stories about cats, the catmaste chronicles is for you.

This week Michelle speaks with Jane Layton about her sustainable upcycled jewellery business, Kitsch2thecore. All of the Jewellery that Jane makes is sustainably sourced from reclaimed fabric and stainless steel. She sells her beautiful pieces on the popular vintage site Depop, so if you are looking for cute Christmas gifts this year be sure to browse the Kitsch2thecore's collection. We talk about Jane's part-time job as a care worker, she works with young adult care leavers and assists them with their daily activities and transitioning from a care home into their own homes. Jane shares her personal experiences of battling depression and anxiety, which so many of us can relate to. As millennials, we feel this pressure to meet unattainable standards that may be influenced by what we are viewing on social media and comparing ourselves with others. We chat about self-care and things that we can do to help ourselves get back into a better place mentally.  But now Jane is so much happier now she's working for herself and doing something that she loves. In her spare time, she enjoys face painting and doing make-up for family and friends, she especially enjoys making people feel good about themselves.  She is also a cool cat mum to adorable cats Uma and Lou, who have sweet and unique personalities. Jane also has a sweet dog called Ivy and her smallest and youngest cat Lou really loves spending time with her doggy brother. If you want to find out more about Jane and her business you can follow her @kitsch2thecore on Instagram.
