Introduction
Trang is your mentor as you pivot, redefine your career, or transform your life to live out your purpose and potential.

In this episode I talk to Katelyn Denning about setting realistic expectations for yourself and your time, how to prioritize when everything feels important and how to plan for the unexpected.
Introduction
Katelyn Denning is a coach for busy, working moms who are tired of feeling like life is just one long to-do list. As a full-time working mom of 3 young children, ages 8, 6, and 3, Katelyn understands what it’s like to juggle all of the different roles and responsibilities as a mom, professional, and woman.
Through her coaching practice, Mother Nurture, she helps women feel confident in their identity as a working mom, figure out their priorities in life, and make the most of their time so they can be more present - with their family, in their work, and in their lives.
Katelyn lives with her family in Cincinnati, Ohio. And while her “me time” doesn’t look the same as it did before kids, she still finds time to read, garden, workout, and enjoy a hot cup of coffee.
