In this episode of Mom to MORE®, host Sharon Macey chats with Kathleen Smith, founder of MorphMom, a multimedia platform dedicated to educating, inspiring, empowering, and connecting women as they navigate their next chapters.
After earning degrees from Holy Cross and Georgetown Law, Kathleen served as an assistant prosecutor before stepping away from her career to raise her children. She soon realized re-entering the workforce wasn’t as simple as she had hoped. This inspired her to create MorphMom, a space where women could share their journeys, support one another, and find inspiration to take their next steps.
Kathleen shares her personal story of reinvention, the challenges of rediscovering her identity, the importance of saying yes to opportunities, taking baby steps, and embracing the power of storytelling. She also discusses the impact of MorphMom’s live events, where women come together to connect and support each other in their career and life transitions.
Tune in for a conversation filled with encouragement, practical advice, and empowering insights for any mom considering her next move in life.
