Welcome back Mama to The Mama Collective! This week, I am joined by Christian Energy Alignment Coach and entrepreneur Katie Graham for a discussion on perfectionism, growth, and creating a routine that empowers you so that you can find JOY in the everyday rhythms as a mom.

Katie is a Daughter of God and wife, who experienced postpartum depression, anxiety and feeling unfulfilled as a mom with 2 under 2. Through that experience, she leaned into where God was calling her and now uses her own journey of motherhood to pour into other moms and help them lean into where God is calling them.
