Not Your Mommy
Katie Ruddell + Liz Hammond
Katie Ruddell and Liz Hammond are two working moms searching for the answer to the question: How the f**ck are we supposed to do it all?!We were both looking for entrepreneurs sharing how they navigate motherhood and owning a business and it didn’t exist, so we’re here to create it for you! Sit in on our honest conversations about finding work/life balance, hot tips, wins, all the failures and the stuff you're already thinking about (but might be afraid to say). We also (heavily) dabble in popculture, moms in the media, and chat with some inspiring moms and entrepreneurs to hear more about how they’re making this working mom thing work. This isn’t just another mommy podcast. This one’s for the mom who is redefining what work looks like and who needs a laugh or a reminder that they’re not alone. This one’s for you. New episodes every Wednesday. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Catching up with Keighty Gallagher (Part 1)
Keighty Gallagher is on the pod!! Long-time friend of Katie's, but more famously the founder of Tight Club and master community-builder chats with Katie about the days when small businesses felt like one big house party, why community marketing actually mattered then (and might again), and what it took to walk away from something she held so close to her heart. She gets honest about the financial and emotional fallout of closing her studio in Vancouver, and the humbling process of rebuilding herself in Ventura (where she's less famous). Tune in again next week as we go deeper with Keighty about her stroke and the lessons that followed.Super Important Episode Links:Keighty's InstagramTight ClubBook a class at Keighty's Cafe You Know Me Retreats Burnout Podcast with Brené BrownKeep Up With Your Girls:Katie on InstagramKatie on TiktokKokomo's WebsiteLiz on InstagramLiz's Website Hosted on Acast.
