Are you called to do less in your life? If you’re looking for another way to do work and live a more meaningful life without the badge of burnout, then episode 142 of the Lead with Love podcast is for you.

In today’s conversation, I get cozy with entrepreneur, bestselling author, and momma, Kate Northrup. We talk about creativity, motherhood, and a new way to approach productivity.

Kate supports ambitious, motivated and successful women to light up the world without burning themselves out in the process. Committed to empowering women entrepreneurs to create their most successful businesses while navigating motherhood.

Kate is the founder and CEO of Origin Collective, a monthly membership site where women all over the world gather to achieve more while doing less. Her first book, Money: A Love Story, has been published in 5 languages. Kate’s work has been featured by The Today Show, Yahoo! Finance, Women’s Health, Glamour, and The Huffington Post, and she’s spoken to audiences of thousands with Hay House, Wanderlust, USANA Health Sciences, and more.

“It was a lot of just owning my work and owning that I do have something unique and powerful to say, and that it’s ok to say it.”
