Six weeks, a whole lot of life updates, and absolutely no idea where to start.

We're back behind the microphones, and let's just say there's a LOT to catch up on! Between raising kids, navigating career changes, juggling work-life balance, and surviving the everyday chaos of being working moms, life has been moving FAST.

This week on From 9 to Mom, Catie and Danielle are catching up on everything that's happened lately. We're talking kindergarten transitions, parenting struggles, bedtime battles, sticker charts, mom guilt, and all those little moments that make motherhood both hilarious and exhausting.

Of course, we also find time to discuss our latest concert obsessions, Dancing with the Stars, chaotic work travel, and the reality of trying to maintain a social life while balancing careers, kids, and everything in between.

And somewhere in the middle of all that? We have a pretty BIG announcement. You'll have to tune in to hear what we've been keeping to ourselves!

Whether you're a full-time working mom, a mom navigating career changes, a business owner, or just trying to figure out how to balance motherhood and your own identity, this episode is for you.

No guests. No agenda. Just two working moms talking about real life, parenting, careers, and everything that happens between the 9 to 5 and bedtime.

Why does doing more feel like we're still not enough? This week we sit down with Jordyn, a licensed mental health counselor, registered art therapist, and founder of Mosaic Therapy in Miami — who works with ambitious, high-achieving teen girls and women who look like they have it all together (even when they don't feel like it inside). She's also 24 weeks pregnant, which makes this conversation even more real.

We dig into why our strengths can quietly become identities that trap us, the "estuaries" theory of confidence (and why you need more than one), why guilt shows up the moment we try to rest, and how to model self-care for our kids instead of just preaching it. If you've ever felt like your life looks amazing on paper but you're running on empty, this one's for you.
