What if the thing you’re trying hardest to solve isn’t actually a problem?
In this episode, maternal mental health expert, therapist, and coach Kate Kripke joins us to unpack why so many high-achieving women struggle in motherhood. It's not because they’re doing it wrong, but because they’re approaching it the same way they approach everything else. Through her work and personal experience, Kate shares how achievement, anxiety, and problem-solving can keep us disconnected from ourselves, our children, and the realities of motherhood.
Together, we explore postpartum anxiety, emotional well-being, nervous system regulation, and the difference between fixing and connecting. This conversation offers a compassionate reframe for working moms who feel exhausted by the pressure to get it right and invites us to consider a different possibility: maybe motherhood isn’t something to master. Maybe it’s something to experience.
