Ep. 20: Reinventing yourself at any age: Cat Pierce on creativity, confidence, and personal style

In this episode of the Closet Philosophy podcast, hosts Jennine and Kristen sit down with Cat Peirce—writer, artist, entrepreneur, and musician, best known as half of the band The Pierces (the duo behind the Pretty Little Liars theme song!).

Cat shares her inspiring journey of continual reinvention, highlighting how creativity flourishes at every stage of life, especially after turning 40. The conversation delves into themes of overcoming societal expectations, building inner and outer confidence, and finding empowerment through personal style, beauty rituals, and creative experimentation.

We dive into:

Cat launching her beauty and lifestyle brand, Omen, and her viral “Higher Self Therapy” series on Instagram.
The importance of reframing midlife as a time of transformation and vibrancy.
Cat’s personal challenges—such as stage fright, people-pleasing, and post-divorce healing—and how creativity and self-love underpin resilience.
How thrifting helped Cat reconnect with her personal style.
How there is no time limit to creativity and trying something new.

Listeners are encouraged to embrace play, reimagine what’s possible at every age, and nurture their creative spark to unlock personal and collective growth.
