She wants to help couples have a plan to thrive during this transition instead of just surviving. Catherine is also married to her "perfect" partner and is a mother of a 7 year old son and 3 year old daughter and knows what it's like to be a parent that is overwhelmed, exhausted, and doubting her competency.
