In today’s Spotlight Session, I’m talking to Cat: a retired biker bar owner, author, speaker, and the kind of woman who turns a messy life into a message worth spreading.
Cat (full name: Charisse Tyson, but nobody calls her that) spent years running a biker bar, where the term “wild” doesn’t even begin to describe the stories.
But this isn’t just a tale of bar fights and motorcycles.
This is about addiction, transformation and faith. And how a woman rebuilt her entire life by walking away from alcohol, surrendering to something bigger, and sharing the raw truth about it.
That’s what she writes about on her Substack: “RV Living with Jesus at the Wheel - a space where she gets real about the intersection of a living in a motor home and faith.
And her volunteering projects that give her the opportunity to travel, see new places, meet new people and contribute to a greater good along the way. You can join her projects too, find how here:
In this interview, you’ll hear her talk about:
Why telling your story, even when it’s messy, is a form of healing
How she turned her book from a total flop to a bestseller sold thousands of pieces with just one tweak
Her experience with the Notes Challenge, and how it helped her on Substack
I had so much fun talking to Cat today, we didn’t even notice how it went to about an hour, it was THAT much fun.
I was a bit unwell with my nose running, but even through the cold I fully enjoyed this amazing session and I’m sure you will too.
We talked about AI, YouTube, Substack growth, and so much more! Watch the full Spotlight Session and have some fun with us ;)
