Empowering high-achieving & Success-driven women to overcome anxiety And Guilt in Motherhood
Be the calm, connected, and confident woman and mother that you long to be.
As Seen In…
Hi, I’m Kate.
I’m Kate, a seasoned Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and recognized Perinatal Mental Health Counselor (PMH-C) dedicated to the mental health and wellness of mothers worldwide. I have passionately served mothers and families in diverse settings for two decades, including my work as the visionary and founding director of the Parent and Family Wellness Center in Boulder, CO. My contributions have left a lasting mark on the landscape of maternal mental health support in Colorado and beyond.
Today, my mission extends globally. I wear multiple hats - as a transformative coach, author, podcast host, and speaker. I partner with high-achieving mothers of children aged birth-12, guiding them through the tumults of anxiety, guilt, and exhaustion so that they can continue to serve the world with their wisdom and gifts and raise healthy, secure children.
I firmly believe that the world flourishes through the collective strength of women's knowledge and well-raised children. I empower mothers to effortlessly merge their dynamic careers and passions while fostering a profound, lasting connection with their kids. Maternal and child mental health are undeniably interconnected, and no woman should ever be forced into choosing between her dreams and her family.
I am a mother of two teenaged daughters, the wife of an exceptionally talented artist, a loving friend and neighbor, an advocate for maternal and child mental health, and an entrepreneur. There is nothing that I teach the women who I support that I don’t practice myself on a daily basis.
guidance at every stage.
We provide prevention strategies, ongoing support, treatment, and assistance in establishing healthy thinking and habits to ensure lasting maternal mental health after childbirth.
Our goal for you:
Boost your confidence and competence.
Strengthen your bond with your baby or child.
Reduce your concerns about your child's well-being.
Help you remain calm and centered during stressful moments.
Empower you to trust your maternal instincts and decisions.
Ensure you feel accomplished in the areas that are important to you.
High-achieving women consistently excel in various areas of their lives, whether it's in their profession, sports, arts, or community efforts. Their dedication to success, big or small, means they thrive on predictability, control, and proactive problem-solving. However, when these women step into motherhood, they often grapple with anxiety. Feelings of inadequacy, time constraints, unmet expectations, and an inability to control certain situations can unsettle their usually steady foundation.
Postpartum and ongoing maternal anxiety can overshadow the joy of motherhood, hinder connections with your child, and impact your self-worth. It's vital to understand that your mental well-being as a mother is crucial. How you perceive and feel about yourself directly influences your child's development and outlook on life. Given the immense love you have for your children and your desire for their well-being, it's essential to prioritize your mental health.
With over 20 years of experience in maternal mental health, I offer a platform that provides valuable content, coaching, and inspiration. Our community offers resources such as podcasts, books, workshops, counseling, keynote speeches, and more to support and uplift mothers everywhere.

Redefine the concept of "Supermom.
There is no way to make the stressful parts of being a mom go away. But there is a way to learn how to respond to those bumps throughout the process so that you feel okay (and trust that your kids are okay), achieve what you want to achieve, and move through life with grace.
As a mother of a very high-energy boy, I was questioning everything in my motherhood toolbox. I wondered constantly what I should do to be a better parent. I also work full time and I never felt like I had any time for myself. Kate’s workshops and content helped me figure out ways to de-stress and take care of myself… but most importantly, it gave me confidence in myself as a mom. I know that I’ll make mistakes, but I am so fortunate I have a coach in Kate Kripke.

The invaluable lessons and strategies I learned from Kate have opened me up to a new world of possibility- one where I have much more confidence in my ability to handle life's stressors, promote lasting chance, and increase joy and abundance in my life. Kate is extremely smart, passionate, and thoughtful, and her support should be required for all mothers.
