Moms Off The Record

In this special end-of-year episode, Kat and April sit down for a heartfelt and honest conversation reflecting on the journey of Moms Off the Record: how it began, how it evolved, and what it has meant to both of them and the community it grew.This episode also marks a meaningful transition. After years of co-creating MOTR together, April shares her decision to step away as a co-host, with Kat moving forward as the sole host and steward of the podcast. The conversation is rooted in gratitude, clarity, and mutual respect with an honoring of seasons, growth, and the courage it takes to listen when an assignment shifts.Together, Kat and April reflect on favorite moments, impactful conversations, and the many messages from women who have shared how MOTR helped them feel less alone, more confident in their intuition, and more empowered to question the narratives surrounding modern motherhood.This episode is two parts a look back and a blessing moving forward with the reminder that growth often asks us to release what we love in order to make room for what’s next.Thank you for being part of this chapter. WE LOVE YOU!

What started as a movement for dignity has become an ideology of disconnection.In this episode, we trace the evolution of feminism, from its early roots in moral equality to its modern rebranding as sameness, independence, and career-first identity. We explore how the cultural promise of “having it all” has often left women feeling fragmented, overextended, and unfulfilled.From the economic engineering that made two incomes a necessity, to the corporate and political forces that turned liberation into labor, we unpack how the feminist movement has been co-opted, and how that shift continues to affect families, children, and the very soul of womanhood.This isn’t about going backward; it’s about remembering what was sacred. We discuss how honoring biological design, polarity, and the divine dance between masculine and feminine could be the key to restoring balance, in our homes, our relationships, and within ourselves.True liberation isn’t doing everything alone. It’s remembering that we were designed to thrive together.Support the showJOIN OUR NEW, PRIVATE COMMUNITY!

We’re joined by journalist and former climate activist Lucy Biggers of The Free Press (and formerly NowThis) to talk about the surprising intersection of motherhood and politics, and what happens when we’re brave enough to reexamine our deeply held beliefs.Now a mom of two toddlers, Lucy shares how motherhood reshaped her worldview, inviting her to question ideological narratives she once championed. Together, we explore what it means to humbly change your mind in a polarized world and why motherhood often becomes the great equalizer, forcing us to think not in slogans, but in legacy.From fossil fuels and climate activism to the dangers of Marxism and socialism, we navigate some of today’s most polarizing conversations with honesty and curiosity. Because when a topic becomes untouchable, we lose our ability to engage, discern, and build a better future for our children.This one’s for the mothers (and fathers) willing to hold nuance, question dogma, and plant seeds of truth for the next generation.Support the showJOIN OUR NEW, PRIVATE COMMUNITY!

In this episode, the two of us reflect on our former six-figure careers in the tech space and how our respective financial trajectories once we became mothers radically changed our lifestyles, world view, and sense of true fulfillment.This episode is part philosophy and part practicality, however please be advised neither of us is a financial consultant, so none of this is to be taken as financial advice. It’s simply anecdotal.We answer some money questions you all submitted in our Instagram stories question box.Money is such a taboo topic. Especially if you are choosing to step back from a high-earning career in favor of living on less and being more present with your children while they’re young. We divulge specific numbers to present an honest assessment of how you can make a single income work.We're here to agree, hanging your career hat for a few years is totally worth it! Support the showJOIN OUR NEW, PRIVATE COMMUNITY!
