Life Lately: When the Working Mum Juggle Stops Juggling

In true catch-up episode style, we’re chatting all things life, motherhood, expectations vs. reality (hello, Mother’s Day), rain-induced cabin fever, and the juggle of being a working parent. As well as a big update from Kate. We’re not crying, you’re crying.

We dive into the why behind Kate’s decision, what she’ll still be doing with Boob to Food, and the messy, beautiful reality of honouring your values in motherhood, even when it means making a big change.

For those who are tuning in for the first time, a little about us…

• Luka McCabe – founder of Boob to Food, author of Milk to Meals, registered nurse and midwife, as well as mum of 3
• Kate Holm – naturopath, nutritionist, mum of three, bringing grounded, evidence-based insight to the world of infant and family health

In this episode, we chat about:

• The Mother’s Day that didn’t quite go to plan…
• Why rainy weather tests every parenting limit
• The behind-the-scenes juggle of running a business while raising kids
• Kate’s big decision and what it means moving forward
• Navigating identity, guilt, and joy as a working mum
• The reminder that seasons shift, and it’s okay to realign when they do
