Who is this mama?

Oh hey, I’m Kait

I’m 36, born in Virginia, and have lived all over the country—and the world. Yes, world. Singapore, to be exact.

Raised by feminist parents, with my mom as a 6th-generation pastor, you might think I’d follow a similar path. But Hollywood called, and I answered. After a turbulent childhood, though, I knew one thing—I wasn’t willing to be a starving actress for long. I craved stability. I wanted a family. So after a few years of auditions (woof), I pivoted to marketing and never looked back.

Then life happened—heartbreaks, finding my dog in a bar, a divorce (okay, two—my parents’ and mine), watching both my parents beat cancer, losing and rebuilding my bond with my sister, battling an eating disorder, marrying the love of my life during COVID, running two marathons, becoming a VP, moving to Singapore, landing a job there, taking a positive pregnancy test, giving birth in Asia… and falling even more in love with life because I brought in a new one.

Now, we’re back in downtown Chicago—our little family, two corporate jobs, and a happy toddler in an arts-rooted daycare (poetry slams and fashion shows included). I count my gratefuls every. single. day.

And yet… something was missing.

I was told motherhood changes you—your priorities, your identity. In a world that often reduces "mom" to our sole identity, many mothers feel lost, burnt out, and unseen. I see that reality around me.

But my journey was different, and I know how fortunate I am.

Becoming a mom is the greatest gift I’ve ever received—it reshaped my world in the best way. Life became bigger than my job, my dreams, my partner. Mothering was everything, but it didn’t erase who I was before.

Yet, I quickly realized how few spaces exist where we’re seen, respected, and embraced as our full selves. Inspired by these a-ha moments—and by my sister’s work as a matrescence coach—I’m Mama Too was born.

I’m not a licensed social worker or certified expert—but I am so many other things. And I needed this. When I couldn’t find it, I created it. Voilà.

I’m grateful you’re here and excited to share this journey with you—maybe even have you join.

One thing I can promise: this isn’t like any other mom group. It can’t be.
