If you are a fan of the hit show So You Think You Can Dance, you probably feel like I do like you have a true friend in the show's host, Kat Dealy.

Cat has been in the entertainment industry for many years, first with MTV and now with So You Think You Can Dance.

But she also has another very important side of her private life, and that's her role

as a mother.

Cat recently wrote a beautiful children's book inspired by her two little boys called The Joy and You.

And today I have the pleasure of sitting down with her to talk all about her inspiration behind the book and her ups and downs as a mother. We talk about her

advice to new mothers and where she finds balance in motherhood and career and

how she builds confidence in her children and what she's doing to keep herself and her

children happy and feeling loved during all the chaos in the world right now.

So thrilled today to have Kat Dealy with me who already feels like my new best friend.

She's drinking a Diet Coke and telling me all the wonderful things about motherhood and I cannot

wait to just have this chat with you today so say hi Kat. Hello there I'm so

pleased to talk to you too. It's evening time in London what time is it with you

there? 942 a.m.

in the morning.

So we've got this weird kind of transatlantic thing going on

but there is definitely an instantaneous connection.

You're hidden in your closet recording this and I'm hidden away in my bedroom

and we've both got our kind of 45 minutes of peace. Yes it's going to be wonderful I just can't wait. It's already, I kept telling you, okay, wait, don't get any more wonderful things. I have to record this because our pre-conversation was so lovely. So, for anyone who might not know who you are and I feel like you've

been a friend to me for years from watching you on TV, but tell everyone who you are and

what you're about. Okay, so I'm to give me my full name my my mother

clearly had delusions of grandeur because I am the same as Catherine and
