EP 75: A Legal Professional and Single Mom’s Guide to Living a Simple Life - Katie’s Story

Katie Watson is a full-time legal professional and single mom who didn’t wait for life to slow down before figuring out how to make it work. She joins Corinne Morahan to share the systems that help her manage a high-pressure job while raising her two-year-old son.
From choosing a daycare that handles meals and extended hours to building habits that keep her home running smoothly, Katie shares what it looks like to design a life that feels doable. She gets into the small, unglamorous choices that add up over time, like using five quiet minutes to unpack a box instead of scrolling, or carving out a nightly hour to reset her space before the next day begins. She also opens up about the mindset work that keeps her grounded, including how she navigates anxiety and why having a strong support system matters.
What would shift if you approached your personal life with the same thoughtfulness you bring to work? And what kind of ease might be possible if you let support be part of the plan?
