In this episode, Catie is back to share her experience with a side of mom guilt that doesn’t get talked about enough - the guilt of loving your career.
After having two children and preparing to return to work, she’s realized that part of her is excited. She misses her job, enjoys working, and thrives in her professional life. But with that joy comes guilt - guilt for looking forward to adult conversations, coffee in peace, and feeling like herself again.
We explore the complex emotions that come with being a mother who also loves her career, why that’s okay, and how she's reconnecting with herself in the process - finding her pink in the middle of motherhood and ambition.
This one’s for anyone who’s ever felt torn between love for their children and love for their work - and needed to hear that both can exist side by side.
Put the kettle on and join us for an honest, permission-giving chat about real life, real identity, and letting go of the pressure to be everything, all at once.
