Explore every episode of the podcast The Seasons | Motherhood & Ambition

Welcome to our first-ever Mom & Dad chat with my husband, Seena. We’re pulling back the curtain on how we’re navigating big dreams, a two-year-old, and a marriage that’s evolving every season with honesty, humor, and zero perfection.

 What You’ll Hear:

• The “season” each of us is in right now (and why that check-in matters)
• Why I closed empowerHER + what Seena noticed from his POV
• Redefining ambition post-baby: capacity, desire, and pace
• Comparison traps: past-you vs now-you (and changing circumstances)
• Our resentment fix: ask for what you need (the workout-time truce)
• Fertility & miscarriage: supporting each other through two losses
• How we model work and presence for Brodie

 Quotes:
“Breaks aren’t setbacks — they’re how you come back with more fire.”
“If you didn’t set the expectation, don’t punish yourself for missing it.”
“Stop pre-worrying. You’ll figure it out in your season.”
“Our kids don’t need perfect parents; they need present, lit-up ones.” Mentioned in This Episode:

Motherhood didn’t shrink your ambition, it just changed how it shows up. In this first episode of The Seasons, Kacia kicks off the conversation ambitious moms have been craving: how to chase your dreams, be a present parent, and honor the season you’re actually in (not the one you think you “should” be in).

 What You’ll Hear:

• Why Kacia burned down her multi-million-download podcast (empowerHER) and what that decision revealed about identity after motherhood
• How becoming a mom shifted her definition of “ambition”
• The pendulum swing between rocket-ship business seasons and slow-down motherhood seasons — and how to know when you’re in each
• The truth about comparing yourself to past you
• What “being lit the F up” really means (and why that’s what our kids need most)
• Sneak peek of what’s coming on The Seasons: raw solo episodes, expert convos, and “Mom & Dad Chats” with her husband, Seena

 Quotes: 
“Motherhood didn’t make me less ambitious, it just made me more intentional about where that ambition goes”.
 “Success looks different in every season, and that’s not a problem, it’s the damn point.”
 “Our kids don’t need perfect moms; they need moms who are lit the F up.”

 What You’ll Hear:
If you’ve ever compared your current self to a past, higher-capacity version (hi, former hustler), this pep-talk is for you. Kacia challenges the short-sighted cultural narrative of “ambition = career only” and walks you through creating a new scoreboard that fits your real life right now—kids, nap windows, identity shifts, and all. You’ll leave with language and prompts to own your season without wishing your days away.

Quotes:
“New season, new scoreboard.”

In this powerful and deeply validating mom chat, Kacia sits down with her friend and podcaster Lindsay Roselle to unpack the identity crisis so many women experience in early motherhood — and the surprising truth behind why “tradwife culture” hits such a nerve for millennial women. 

What You’ll Hear:

• The “identity rupture” that happens in early motherhood — and why no one warns you about it
• Why ambitious women feel paralyzed between wanting to create and needing to make money
• How Lindsay navigates being a mom, a breadwinner, and rebuilding her identity in real time
• The tension between slowing down + still wanting success
• The actual reason tradwife culture feels so triggering for so many millennial women
• Why we compare ourselves to who we used to be — and how to stop
• The myth that success requires busyness
• Motherhood vs. parenting: what shifts when your kids get older
• How our own inner child shapes the way we parent
• What Lindsay hopes her boys remember about her ambition and presence

 Quotes:

• “There’s an identity rupture in motherhood that nobody prepares you for.”
• “Just because I don’t have clarity right now doesn’t mean it’s not coming.”
• “Most of us aren’t afraid of failure — we’re afraid of succeeding at the wrong thing.”
• “The urgency we feel isn’t truth. It’s conditioning.”
• “Tradwife culture isn’t triggering because it’s anti-feminist… it’s because we’re exhausted.”
• “Your ambition didn’t disappear. It just has to coexist with motherhood now.”
