In this week's episode, Katelyn sits down with photographer, mom of two, and natural community-builder Brooke, for a heartfelt conversation about what it really looks like to work, parent, and stay connected through every season of working motherhood.

 

Brooke shares honestly about navigating a career with fluctuating busy seasons, balancing weekend work with family life, and communicating needs at home—especially during intense work seasons. She talks about how she and her husband have learned to share responsibilities, let go of perfection, and trust each other's way of doing things.

 

But what really makes this conversation special is Brooke's other superpower: creating community. Whether she's organizing a fall hangout, sending the cutest invite, or simply texting friends to join her for a walk, Brooke shows how building friendships doesn't have to be elaborate (unless you want it to be)—it can be simple, intentional, and doable for even the busiest working mom.

 

If you're a working mom trying to build a village, wanting fresh ideas for friendship, or simply trying to manage life during your own busy season, this conversation will give you so many ideas, big and small.
