Before We Get It Right

Sometimes you need a deep conversation. And sometimes... you just need to laugh. This week, we're putting the organized planned episodes away and doing something a little different. No big life lessons, no carefully planned topic—just a rapid-fire round of completely random questions that somehow turned into stories, confessions, questionable opinions, and way more laughter than we expected. From...

This week on Before We Get It Right , we're talking about boundaries—but probably not in the way you're expecting. Because this isn't an episode about becoming cold, cutting people off, or saying "no" to everything. It's about something much deeper: learning how to protect your peace without losing yourself in the process. We dive into the real reasons boundaries feel so hard, why so many women st...

This week on Before We Get It Right , we're joined by Nicole, creator of @peaceofmindmama, audiologist, content creator, mom of two, and a woman learning how to navigate hard seasons. What started as a conversation about wellness, motherhood, and finding peace quickly became a powerful discussion about grief, identity, postpartum struggles, faith, and learning to let go of control when life doesn'...

At one point, Shannon Warr had what many entrepreneurs dream of building: a fast-growing online brand generating $3.6 million in annual revenue, a massive social media following, influencer partnerships, and a business that appeared wildly successful from the outside. Then everything changed. In this episode of Before We Get It Right, Shannon shares the story behind Clad & Cloth's rise, t...

We're back with another round of Messy Middle Confessions — and this batch might be our most honest one yet. Six anonymous submissions from real moms about the stuff that lives in the back of your mind but rarely makes it out of your mouth. The toddler mom who loves her kid and desperately needs more than a three hour break. The wife who resents her genuinely good husband and can't fully...

This week on Before We Get It Right , we’re talking about something so many women feel but were never really taught to understand: hormones, cycle tracking, energy shifts, and why you might feel like a completely different person from one week to the next. We’re diving into the four phases of the menstrual cycle, how hormones can impact creativity, anxiety, confidence, motivation, motherhood, rela...

Self-love has become one of those phrases that gets tossed around so much it almost loses meaning. Bubble baths. Face masks. “Treat yourself.” But what if real self-love is actually much deeper — and much harder — than that? In this episode, Katherine and Leah have an honest conversation about what self-love actually looks like in real life, especially for women and mothers who have spent years ty...

This week on Before We Get It Right , we’re talking about something so many people are craving right now: real community. Not the “like your Instagram story and keep scrolling” kind of connection, but the face-to-face, sit-around-a-table, laugh-with-strangers-until-they-don’t-feel-like-strangers-anymore kind.  From the rise of “grandma hobbies” like embroidery, baking, crafting, and knitting to th...

In this episode of Before We Get It Right , we’re talking about something every mom, business owner, and human being experiences: criticism. The kind that sneaks into your thoughts at 2am, shows up in a comment section, comes from people you love, or, in Katherine’s case recently, came through a couple of negative Amazon reviews that unexpectedly tanked sales for an entire month. We’re having a re...

This week’s episode feels extra special because we’re joined by our very first guest, Emily Steele, Co-founder and CEO of Hummingbirds- and the conversation is honest, grounding, inspiring, and incredibly real. We talk about the winding path that led Emily to building Hummingbirds, the moments of uncertainty along the way, and how so many of the experiences that once felt unrelated eventually beca...

Today’s conversation is one we both deeply needed — and chances are, you might too. We’re talking about that quiet, overwhelming feeling of being in the middle of life… still showing up, still doing everything you’re “supposed” to do… but feeling disconnected from yourself in the process. Whether you’re navigating motherhood, building something from the ground up, moving through grief, relationshi...

In this episode, we’re talking about something every business owner thinks about constantly… but rarely says out loud: money. Not in a “how to make more” kind of way but in a real, behind-the-scenes look at what it actually feels like to navigate finances through every phase of building a business. The no-money phase. The “why is all my money gone?” phase. The “are we doing well… or just moving mo...

There’s a version of life we show…and then there’s the version we’re actually living. In this episode, we’re opening up the space for the messy middle, the part no one really talks about out loud. The thoughts that feel too honest. The seasons that don’t make sense yet. The moments that feel overwhelming, unpolished, and a little unhinged at times. We’re sharing anonymous confessions from women wh...

In this episode, we’re talking about something that’s quietly becoming part of everyday life — ChatGPT. Not in a techy, overwhelming way… but how we’re actually using it as moms, business owners, and women navigating full lives. We share the real ways it’s helping us carry the mental load, from writing emails and brainstorming ideas to making decisions and getting unstuck. But we also talk about t...

 The podcast where we talk about motherhood, life, business, and everything in between… before we actually have it all figured out. Today we’re talking about something that I think a lot of people experience but don’t talk about…What it’s like to try to build something meaningful when people around you don’t really take you seriously.  Whether that’s starting a business, a creative project or idea...

In this episode of Before We Get It Right , we’re talking about something many women in their 30s feel but rarely say out loud: why does friendship feel harder now? Not just “we’re busy” harder — but the deeper shifts that happen as life evolves. We talk about loneliness, outgrowing friendships without there being a villain, the awkwardness of making new friends as adults, and how different life s...

How do you know when something in your life is trying to shift? In this episode of Before We Get It Right , Leah and Katherine talk about the signs — the subtle nudges, repeated patterns, gut feelings, and unexpected closed doors that quietly guide us toward alignment. Because signs aren’t usually dramatic. They’re persistent. We explore: How to recognize intuitive nudges vs. fear-based spirals Wh...

Not every passion is meant to become a business.  But some are. So how do you know the difference? In this episode of Before We Get It Right , we’re having an honest conversation about what it really looks like to turn something you love into something that pays you back — and how to discern whether it’s time. We talk about: The subtle (and not-so-subtle) signs your hobby might be asking to grow T...

In this episode of Before We Get It Right , Leah and Katherine unpack the cultural obsession with “doing it all” — and why so many of us feel like we’re constantly falling short. We’ve been sold a shiny version of balance: thriving career, fulfilling relationships, optimized health, perfectly curated home, active social life — all at once. But is that actually balance? Or is it burnout with better...

In this episode of Before We Get It Right , we’re talking about what it really means to re-write your own story after becoming a mother. We explore the identity shifts that happen when life doesn’t look the way you imagined, the pressure to fit into a version of motherhood that doesn’t quite feel like you, and the quiet courage it takes to choose something different—even when you’re unsure what co...

In this episode of Before We Get It Right , we’re sharing more of our messy middle stories—where business, motherhood, and real life collide. We talk about what it looks like to build and grow while still learning, the challenges we’re facing in this season, and the pressure to get it right while feeling like we’re still figuring so much out. It’s a conversation about uncertainty, resilience, and...

Welcome to Before We Get It Right. In this very first episode, we’re introducing ourselves—Leah and Katherine—two bestie moms navigating life and parenthood in real time, without a manual and without pretending to have it all figured out. We talk about who we are, what brought us together, and why we felt called to start this show. This podcast was born out of the messy, beautiful, overwhelming mi...

Before We Get It Right is a podcast for the moms in the middle of it all—the figuring it out, the holding it together, and the questioning everything. Hosted by Leah and Katherine, this podcast was meant to launch with stories about motherhood, identity, and rewriting the rules after kids. But when the world started to feel especially heavy, we chose to begin here instead. In our first episode, we...
