About Our Guest:

Cat Sims is a devoted mother of two girls, an accomplished author, podcast host, and a creative content creator. She is the visionary behind "Not So Smug Now," a platform dedicated to supporting and bringing joy to women and parents. Cat's journey with Not So Smug Now began as a personal exploration of motherhood, a path marked by the challenging transition from 'me' to parenthood, which left her feeling isolated and adrift. Writing became her solace, and her first blog post garnered an impressive 3,500 hits in a single day, connecting her with like-minded individuals. The platform has since grown, forming a tight-knit community of women, many of them parents, who embrace the values of kindness over competition and support over silence. Not So Smug Now continues to provide crucial support to mothers, but Cat has also discovered her multifaceted identity as a business owner, writer, wife, and style enthusiast, aiming for her blog to be the go-to destination for modern women composed of a myriad of facets.
