  • Season 1, Episode 7: How to Take a Proper Nap (and Why You Probably Need One)
    Jul 14 2025

    Bob the Writing Cat returns this week with a deeply personal (and deeply drowsy) meditation on the sacred art of napping. In this episode, Bob shares his time-tested four-step nap protocol, explains why rest is not a luxury but a survival strategy, and issues an Executive Order declaring guilt-free flopping mandatory. If you’ve been feeling stretched thin, overworked, or simply chocolate-deprived, this episode is your official permission slip to lie down and shut the world out.

    📌 Bob’s Words. Her Voice.💤 Take the nap. The inbox can wait.

  • Season 1 Episode 6: An Open Letter to My Younger Self
    Jul 7 2025

    In this beautifully reflective episode of Bob Out Loud, Bob writes a letter to his younger self. It’s tender, wise, and surprisingly moving…filled with hard-won truths about resilience, rest, and the importance of never shrinking to fit someone else’s comfort.

    Through his signature mix of quiet defiance and feline eloquence, Bob shares the lessons he wishes he’d known earlier: how to endure with grace, how to love without losing yourself, and how to build a life full of dignity, softness, and naps taken with intention.

    This episode includes: – A letter to Bob’s younger self (but also, maybe, to yours) – Gentle encouragement for misunderstood souls – Emotional depth disguised as feline philosophy – And a reminder that you are already enough, as you are

    If you’ve ever wished you could go back and reassure the earlier version of yourself, Bob offers the next best thing.

  • Season 1, Episode 5: The Secret to Peace? Choosing Disinterest
    Jun 30 2025

    In this delightfully sharp episode of Bob Out Loud, Bob the Writing Cat shares his most powerful life strategy: disinterest—the sacred art of strategic emotional disengagement.

    With signature wit and unwavering judgment, Bob explains why not every loud opinion, chaotic person, or poorly loaded dishwasher deserves your energy. Through wisdom earned on the back of the couch, he reminds us that peace isn’t about fixing the world—it’s about knowing when to simply walk away. Slowly. With meaning.

    This episode includes: – The difference between apathy and elegant disinterest – A squirrel-related exception to the rule – Bob’s foolproof system for emotional conservation – And a call to arms for those who need a little less drama in their day

    If you've been feeling over-engaged, overwhelmed, or just over it, this episode is your permission slip to opt out—with dignity.
