Catherine Roscoe Barr is a neuroscience-based wellness coach, a longtime fitness professional, and a lifestyle journalist whose work has quietly transformed the lives of many. Her new book, FEEL BETTER NOW: The Life-Changing Power of Simple Pleasures, is a powerful offering — one that invites us back to ourselves through the rituals, reflections, and rewilding that make life feel not just livable, but delicious.
Her story is one of deep personal transformation — from growing up in a home where emotions lived beneath the surface, to finding her own voice through movement, writing, and eventually, helping others do the same. She has built a life’s work from lived experience: turning her healing into curriculum, and her curiosity into a business that’s as intimate as it is expansive — from private coaching to retreats, keynotes, and now, her beautiful book.
In this conversation, we talk about how home is shaped by movement; how long love can grow when it’s met with intention; what people often misunderstand about wellness; the quiet courage it takes to rescue yourself; and much more.

What is The Craft with May Globus?
The Craft is an audio-visual collection of intimate conversations with creatives, entrepreneurs, and pioneers across disciplines. Each episode weaves through their personal backstory, creative process, and way of living—an exploration of the humanity that connects us all.
Alongside the conversations, the show’s visual storytelling—through editorial-style photography—offers another way in. Like a modern-day magazine editorial, each image is a quiet window into the spirit of the guest and the world they’re shaping.
