Stopping by Catt's bedroom on Valentine's Day, Michelle Monaghan was all smiles and oozing positivity (it was contagious!). She talked about her experience in the Middle East filming her latest show, Netflix's Messiah; how she almost became a journalist instead of an actor; and why Hollywood - and her brothers - helped her to build a thick skin.

She also discusses being pregnant while taping True Detective, paying her way through college by modeling, and trying to use her power as an actress and producer to pay it forward to other women in the industry.

Also in this episode, Catt shares how growing up in the Midwest made a career in acting seem like a far-off dream. And, Catt and Michelle swap insight to their self-care routines.
