When Catherine O'Toole unexpectedly fell in love with motherhood, she didn't just leave her publishing career—she negotiated a salary for staying home.

Learn why she demanded payment that would "hurt," how she and her husband Ian built a thriving design business together, and why she finally retired from being a dinner party goddess to put herself first.A refreshingly honest take on modern marriage, career pivots, and creating life on your own terms.Recorded on October 31, 2025.
