Answering the Call to Do More with Catie Bouchard

This week on A Splash More, Hayley sits down with Catie Bouchard, founder of Pen & Napkin, an organization that transforms empty spaces into fully furnished homes for individuals and families navigating significant life transitions and rebuilding their lives. After years of witnessing the homelessness crisis in Los Angeles, Catie found herself asking a question she could no longer ignore: What am I supposed to do with what I'm seeing? That question became the catalyst for a movement rooted in compassion, dignity, and community. In this episode, Catie shares the journey from recognizing a need to building a nonprofit with the support of volunteers, donors, corporate sponsors, and an ever-growing community of people committed to making a difference. But she also opens up about the realities of balancing a mission-driven calling with the demands of motherhood and family life, and the difficult decisions that come when your heart wants to do more than your season of life allows. Together, they discuss purpose, service, community, and what it means to make an impact without sacrificing the things that matter most. This is a powerful conversation about following a calling, embracing life's limitations, and discovering that meaningful change doesn't always require carrying the entire weight alone.

How Family Dynamics Shape Who We Become — with sports reporter Sara Civian

Sara Civian is a sports reporter, podcast host, and one of the most recognizable voices to emerge from hockey media — known for her quick wit, sharp perspective, and ability to build a career in traditionally male-dominated spaces. But in this episode, we explore something much more personal. As cousins from a loud, close-knit Italian family — separated by 12 years and shaped by very different birth-order experiences — we talk about the identities that form inside families long before we fully understand ourselves. Together, we explore ambition, personality, visibility, humor, family dynamics, and the subtle ways childhood roles can follow us well into adulthood. This conversation is thoughtful, funny, layered, and deeply reflective of how family systems shape the way we move through the world long after we leave home.
