Motherhood is a wild, beautiful, and often chaotic journey—one that can leave us feeling stretched between self-identity, family life, and career. In this episode of Mum Era, we sit down with Cat Sanz, a fashion entrepreneur and powerhouse, who shares her deeply personal and inspiring journey. Cat opens up about navigating motherhood while staying true to herself, curating a personal style that feels authentic, and embracing life’s transitions with confidence.
We dive into the delicate balance of raising kids, running a business, and prioritising self-care, all while acknowledging the ever-present mental load of parenting. Cat takes us through her career evolution—from working in her husband's real estate business to launching her own fashion brand—and how motherhood reshaped her sense of identity and style. She offers invaluable insights on feeling confident in postpartum dressing, the importance of comfortable fashion, and redefining personal style as a mum.
We also explore the influence of social media on self-perception, the power of personal branding, and the importance of setting boundaries to protect mental wellbeing. With humour, warmth, and honesty, we discuss the realities of juggling it all—work, kids, relationships, and self-worth—while also touching on resilience, healing through loss, and the strength found in familial bonds.
Whether you're in the thick of early motherhood or looking for inspiration to reconnect with yourself, this episode is packed with heart, style, and relatable moments. Tune in for a conversation that encourages you to embrace imperfection, find joy in the little things, and prioritise yourself alongside your family.
