Attainable Over Aspirational: How Kate Strickler of Naptime Kitchen Keeps It Real

from Under the Influence with Jo Piazza · host Jo Piazza

When Kate Strickler started Naptime Kitchen in 2015, it was just a way to share the meals she cooked while her baby slept. Now it’s a thriving brand, a sold-out book tour, and a must-follow for anyone who wants real-life motherhood content that’s actually doable. We talk about the evolution of Instagram, reframing how we talk about work with our kids, and the small, practical changes—like showering in the dark—that can change your day. Plus, why “attainable over aspirational” might be your new life motto. Follow @naptimekitchen for everyday cooking inspiration, practical advice, and Kate’s musings on motherhood.
