What if success wasn't about choosing between motherhood and ambition, but learning to build both on your own terms?

In this episode, Cait sits down with PR expert, brand strategist, and entrepreneur Cris Gordon for an honest conversation about building a thriving business while raising four children under the age of seven. Cris shares how becoming a mother strengthened her vision instead of shrinking it, why she rejects the idea of "mom guilt," and how founders can begin owning their stories before they ever hire a PR agency.

Together, they explore what it really means to create visibility, lead with authenticity, and redefine success in a way that honors both your business and your family.
