What does it mean to live more with less? I'm Katie Wells and welcome to the Maximized Minimalist

podcast. If you found yourself caught up in the hamster wheel of modern day motherhood and want to

rewrite the script, congratulations you're in the right place. I'm here to be your guide and help you take

back your motherhood

and achieve a simpler, more joy-filled life. Cheers to being a maximized minimalist. Enjoy the show.

Well, hey there, welcome to another episode of the Maximized Minimalist. On the show today,

my guest is Kara Livingston from Simply Whole Moms.

She and her friend Nicole have the podcast by the same name and are just so fun to listen to.

As they raise their babies alongside each other, they just really want to encourage moms in this sometimes difficult, lonely, yet beautiful journey of motherhood.

Her other half, Nicole, is a clean beauty expert and

ethical shopping maven, who I hope to have on the show soon. And Kara, who I'll be talking with

today, is a certified nutritionist and lover of all things wellness. Today, though, I want to talk with

Kara about the ever so precarious mom balance.

Is it even a real thing?

She's a working stay-at-home mom, and I know she's just a great person to ask.

We'll also be discussing mom guilt, why we have it, and I can't wait to hear her tips on handling it and just moving past it.

So let's go ahead and dive in.

Kara, welcome to the show today.

Thank you so much for having me.

I really am excited.

Good.

Such a treat to have you on the show with your expertise.
