KC Long interviews Katharine Wintsch, founder and CEO of The Mom Complex and author of Slay Like a Mother. She shares her journey from a high-powered career in advertising at the Martin Agency to founding her own consulting business focused on improving products and services for mothers. She candidly discusses the burnout and dissatisfaction that led her to redefine success on her own terms, emphasizing balance, impact, and personal growth over relentless financial or organizational growth. Katharine highlights the importance of self-authorship, breaking free from societal expectations, and addressing systemic issues like impostor syndrome, especially for women. The conversation also explores how therapy and coaching complement each other in personal development. Her approach to leadership and entrepreneurship is countercultural, focusing on sustainable business growth that supports well-being rather than sacrificing it. She also introduces the concept of measuring success by impact, inspired by Ariana Huffington’s “third metric,” and shares practical examples of how her company creates meaningful change for mothers and families.
