The Power of Next Steps: Generational Lessons from Morphmom Kathleen Smith EP 2

Connect with Kathleen Morphmom LinkedIn Connect with Meghan and Kristin  Instagram Hosts Kristin Hocker and Meghan Caponiti welcome Kathleen Smith, founder and CEO of Morphmom, a multimedia platform dedicated to inspiring, empowering, and connecting women through storytelling. Kathleen shares her journey from a career as a juvenile prosecutor to creating a nationwide community where women exchange real, vulnerable stories about reinvention, resilience, and next steps. The conversation dives into the generational differences in how women approach career pivots and personal growth, contrasting the “stay in your lane” mindset of earlier generations with the younger generation’s openness to exploration and failure. Kathleen highlights extraordinary Morphmom stories, including a Holocaust survivor who became an author in her 70s and a domestic violence survivor who launched the Black Fairy Godmother Foundation. They emphasize the importance of not diminishing our accomplishments with words like “just,” celebrating even the smallest next step, and building a cross-generational movement of women who cheer each other on.
