"The Real Story Behind Grow Together: From Postpartum Anxiety to Purpose-Driven Practice"
đź“Ť Podcast: Grow Together
🎧 Host: Kate McCommons
🗓️ Episode Release Date: 6/6/25
Episode Summary:
In this heartfelt and vulnerable episode, Kate pulls back the curtain to share the true origin story behind Grow Together. You may have heard about her mission, her passion for families, and her background as a therapist—but today, you’ll hear where it really began: in the quiet, hard, and deeply transformative moments of early motherhood.
Kate opens up about her journey through postpartum anxiety, the identity crisis that followed, and the pivotal moment when she realized that traditional therapy settings didn’t align with the kind of support she felt families truly needed.
She shares:
- Why she didn’t latch onto someone else’s business, even when it looked “perfect on paper”
- The moment she realized she wasn’t just called to treat children—but to serve entire families
- How a deeply personal moment on the couch with her children sparked the vision for Grow Together
- The divine nudge that told her she’d never find what she was looking for—because she was meant to create it
- What it means to truly support parents, not just patients
This episode is for the therapist who feels stuck. For the mom who wonders if she’s doing enough. And for the business owner who knows deep down: there’s more. This is where mission meets movement.
Key Takeaways:
- Postpartum challenges can reveal deeper purpose—and guide you toward work that heals others and yourself.
- Returning to work after motherhood isn’t about abandoning your role—it can be a reclaiming of self.
- Your dream job might not exist yet… because you're meant to build it.
- Supporting the whole family creates lasting therapeutic change far beyond the session.
- Imposter syndrome doesn't disqualify you—it means you’re on the edge of growth.
Powerful Quote:
"You are never going to find what you're looking for… Go and make it."
