## Resource

This week on Mom Group Chat, we're sitting down with the incredibly talented and refreshingly honest Kathleen Ashmore — the creator behind Kat Can Cook. From working for Martha Stewart to building her own food platform and navigating motherhood in real time, Kathleen shares the evolution of her career, her identity, and her relationship with cooking. This episode is for the moms who have ever wondered: Who am I now? What does ambition look like in this season? And how do I get dinner on the table without losing my mind? We talk about all of it. In this episode, we cover: * Kathleen's transition into motherhood and how it reshaped her identity * Her experience as a stay-at-home mom and what that season taught her * How her relationship with cooking has evolved over the years * Behind-the-scenes stories from her time working for Martha Stewart * Feeding kids without making 47 separate meals * Easy, realistic recipes for busy families * Letting go of perfection in the kitchen * What it looks like to build something of your own while raising kids Kathleen brings such a grounded, calming perspective to the conversation. She reminds us that cooking doesn't have to be complicated to be meaningful — and that feeding our families can feel nourishing for us, too.
