Ep. 8 No Plan, Just Passion: Starting Something New in the Middle of Motherhood

Kayotic

In this episode, we’re keeping it 100 about the messy, chaotic life of motherhood — the mom guilt, the “I’m failing” moments, and the wild ride of trying to start a creative biz while juggling all the chaos. From a funny hospital story to real talk on pushing through doubt and overwhelm, Haley gets honest about what it really takes to keep going when you feel like you’re drowning. If you’re a busy mom trying to make moves without losing your mind, this one’s for you.

We cover:

• The messy, real side of mom guilt and overwhelm
• How to keep going when you feel like you’re failing at everything
• The wild chaos of juggling motherhood and starting a creative biz
• Why it’s okay to embrace the chaos instead of trying to control it all
• Pushing through doubt and finding your own kind of hustle
• What self-care really looks like when you’re drowning in to-dos

✨ Grab your coffee (or wine), hit play, and let’s get real about motherhood, creativity, and keeping your sanity in the madness.

This episode is for you if:

• You’re a busy mom trying to make moves but feel stuck in the chaos
• You battle mom guilt and overwhelm daily (and want to feel less alone)
• You want honest, no-BS advice about balancing biz, motherhood, and yourself
