Gal on the Prowl

Meet Caroline Stovall, the feline-loving mastermind behind Whiskers and Soda, Dallas’ favorite cat café.  

She’s spilling the catnip on how she turned a dream into reality. We’re talking pivots vs. panics, the real hustle behind running a business full of furry friends, and how following her passion for cats led to a career she never saw coming. Oh, and we’ll get into her greatest love story...

If you’ve ever felt stuck, scared, or unsure of your next move, this episode is your sign to shake off the doubt and go all in on YOU! So grab your favorite drink (PURRhaps a cat-puccino?), curl up with your fur babies, and tune in—because this is just the beginning of your prowl to an extraordinary life.

The spotlight’s officially pouncing on Texas, and it’s shining brighter than a cat’s eyes in the dark! With Senate Bill 22 just passed, film and television productions have a PURRfect reason to curl up right here in our state (Hello, Landman and Taylor Sheridan). 

Leading the charge in Dallas? None other than our new Dallas Film Commissioner, Katie Schuck.

Katie is bringing new energy, resources, and vision to the scene. If you’ve ever dreamed of working in film, or just want a behind-the-scenes peek at how these creative machines start purring, this episode is absolutely fur you.

Katie is innovative, strategic, and totally FURR-ocious about making Texas the creative hub it was born to be. Get ready, because she’s helping Dallas strut into the spotlight in the biggest way.

LeeAnne Locken is no stranger to the spotlight, darling. Born and raised Texas-tough, this firecracker clawed her way from small-town roots to pageant queen glory, landing in the Top 10 at Miss USA before strutting straight into Hollywood’s orbit. You’ve spotted her in cult-classic flicks like Miss Congeniality and on TV favorites from Walker, Texas Ranger to GCB. 

In 2025, LeeAnne is teaming up with her fellow Dallas alums Kameron Westcott and Cary Deuber for a brand-new late-night adventure: Housewives Confidential. Think of it as a slumber party with sequins & unfiltered convos, juicy behind-the-scenes tea, and the kind of sassy banter that only Housewives can deliver. LeeAnne calls it “three girls hanging out,” but let’s face it, when she’s in the mix, it’s never just casual chatter. Expect fireworks, laughs, and plenty of real talk.

Susan Hamilton is the ultimate community cat-alyst, serving as Director of Membership at the Denison Chamber of Commerce where she helps local businesses paws-itively thrive and brings folks together in creative, impactful ways. 

She’s also got her producer’s claws sunk deep into film, crafting stories that shine a spotlight on what matters most. And when she’s not championing entrepreneurs or spinning cinematic magic, you’ll catch her leaping into jazzercise, her favorite way to stay FURR-ocious.

Susan recently said goodbye to her beloved father, her greatest inspiration and best friend. For years, she visited him daily, capturing his larger-than-life PURRsonality in joyful TikToks that touched so many. Now, she’s courageously learning to rediscover herself beyond the role of daughter and caregiver, honoring his legacy with every new step she takes.
