momplex with Scottie Durrett

Today’s guest is Cait Howard, who is so much more than my podcast producer (major shoutout to her and her husband). She is a mom of 3 under 3, CEO, and host of Ambitious Moms Club podcast, with a mission to support other ambitious women to pursue their dreams without mom guilt. Cait first shares how becoming a mother served as the catapult to her journey into entrepreneurship yet surrounded by guilt from every angle, then the importance of being willing to show others the imperfections of life, with no filter, although it can be scary to open yourself up for judgment from others, and lastly shares how she practices self love and self talk. You’ll walk away from this episode feeling encouraged to drop the comparison and give yourself the grace you deserve so well. In this episode, we cover:

• The importance of flexibility as a mom
• Mindset work and motivation
• The importance of willing to be imperfect
• How to take responsibility for your own happiness
• Self love and self respect
• Letting go of the comparison
