In this candid and heartfelt conversation, Meredith sits down with award-winning planner Kate Murtaugh of Kate Murtaugh Events to talk about motherhood, boundaries, burnout, and building a brand that clients and kids can be proud of.

Kate shares how she’s designed over 250 weddings at iconic venues (like Town & Country and The New York Times) — all while raising three children and leading a high-performing team.

💬 Topics we cover:

• Vetting clients who respect your role as a mom
