Building HER with Katja Lillian LIFE UPDATE: The Real, Unfiltered Season I’m In Right Now
In today’s episode, I’m bringing you a cozy, real-life catch up from my very loud Florida house (construction noises and all 🙃). Baby girl just turned 11 months, and I’m sharing honestly about the time vortex of new motherhood, juggling nap-time work blocks, and why I feel like I’m still in the “newborn bubble” almost a year later.
We chat about life lately—Halloween as the Flintstones, traveling to California for my brother’s baby shower, my first solo trip away from Amalia for a mastermind retreat, plus all the family + travel plans stacked around Thanksgiving and the holidays. And because we’re all feeling the end-of-year energy, I walk you through the simple system I’m using to stay sane: my brain dump + 4-quadrant prioritization grid that’s helping me manage business, motherhood, travel, and, you know… being a human.
Inside this episode, we talk about:
- What 11 months of motherhood really feels like (the guilt, the rush, the joy, the presence)
- How I’m navigating work in tiny pockets of time (nap windows + evenings)
- Halloween with a baby, a California trip recap, and upcoming travel to a mastermind retreat & Chicago
- How I’m prepping for being away from baby for the first time (milk, boobs, feelings… all of it)
- Black Friday + 2026 planning energy and why I’m already thinking about the new year - DM me "BLACK FRIDAY" on IG to learn about what my offers are and the discounts!
- My brain dump ritual for when life feels like “too much”
- The Do / Schedule / Delegate / Delete grid that’s saving my mental health
- The uncomfortable realization that I don’t ask for help enough—and how I’m actively changing that
If you’re a mom, a future mom, or just a woman with a lot on her plate heading into the holidays, this one will make you feel seen, a little less alone, and hopefully a lot more supported with some practical tools you can start using today.
