Description

In this episode of This Is How She Does It, Angela sits down with the unstoppable Shea Curry—founder and CEO of Catch Social, Broadway and Hollywood alum, jewelry designer, social media strategist, and mom of twins. Shea’s journey is anything but ordinary, and that’s exactly what makes her story so powerful.


Angela and Shea dive into the messy, beautiful reality of pivoting in work and life, especially when motherhood, ambition, and unexpected curveballs collide. From navigating toxic work environments and learning to set non-negotiable boundaries, to making deeply personal decisions like building her family through IVF, Shea shares candid insights with humor and honesty.


You’ll hear:




  • The difference between “glass balls” and “rubber balls” when prioritizing responsibilities.




  • How to say no and redefine availability without guilt.




  • What it looks like to re-enter the workforce or find new direction after motherhood.




  • Why presence matters more than perfection—at work and at home.




This conversation is bold, funny, and real. Shea’s energy is contagious, and her wisdom will leave you inspired to stand up for what you believe in, listen to your instincts, and trust that even a non-traditional path can lead to extraordinary success.
