In this 40-minute episode of F*ck Perfect: The Messy Momcast, we’re exploring the deep, complicated, and emotional topic of absent parents. Whether they left physically or emotionally or were never really there to begin with, the impact runs deep, and we’re talking about all of it.

From childhood wounds to the way it shapes us as adults (and as parents ourselves), I’m opening up about my own experiences and how I’ve learned to navigate the grief, anger, and healing that come with that kind of silence.

If you’ve ever felt the ache of someone who should’ve shown up but didn’t, this one’s for you.

In this very first episode of F*ck Perfect: The Messy Momcast, I’m pulling back the curtain and sharing my story—who I am, where I’ve been, and why this messy, honest space matters. From surviving domestic violence and life with a narcissist to rediscovering myself after divorce (all while raising kids and keeping my humor intact), I’m laying it all out.

This 20-minute episode is raw, real, and just the beginning of the conversations we’re going to have here. So grab a drink, settle in on my virtual couch, and let’s get messy together.

This is the messiest podcast you'll ever come across.

My name is Katie, and life is messy!
