This week's guest is Cath Howe, an author, a teacher, a creative.

Cath is an author who writes about real kids in a mess, and she gets her inspiration from her own life and experiences. She has published two books and is working on her third for "tricky tweens" or children aged 9-12. Cath started her career as an English teacher, but after an episode of ill health, had to take a step back from full-time teaching and rearrange her life to accommodate her passions while maintaining her health.

In this week's episode, you'll hear about Cath's life experiences and how she's been Gutsy, but also she talks about about how she's inspiring children to find and use their Gutsy Voices.
