What if motherhood didn’t have to feel like a never-ending to-do list? In this down to earth conversation, author and mom of three Katherine Schwarzenegger Pratt shares how she’s learning to quiet negative self-talk, redefine control as an oldest child, and find peace amid the chaos of parenting. 

From her daily Transcendental Meditation practice to the healing power of animals (and her new children’s book Kat and Brandy), this episode is a reminder that motherhood isn’t about perfection—it’s about presence, self-compassion, and bravery.
