Episode 52:  Letting Go of Perfection and Learning to Lead Your Life with Grace with Kim Kupiecki

What if the mess doesn’t mean you’re failing but that you’re fully living?  In this episode of Working Moms Redefined, Denise sits down with Kim Kupiecki, author of The Beautiful Mess, speaker, corporate leader, and mom, for an honest, grounding conversation about perfection, pressure, and grace in working motherhood.  Together, they explore why high-achieving women struggle so deeply with giving themselves grace, how the “everyone else has it figured out” lie keeps moms stuck, and what it really looks like to own your value, both at work and at home.  This conversation isn’t about doing more, fixing yourself, or chasing balance. It’s about releasing unrealistic expectations, redefining success, and learning how to show up with intention even when life feels messy.  If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, behind, or quietly questioning whether you’re doing enough, this episode is a reminder that you don’t need perfection to be a great mom, a strong leader, or a whole person.  Because the mess doesn’t disqualify you; it’s part of the story.  Connect with Kim  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kimkupiecki  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kimkupiecki  Website: https://kimkupiecki.com/   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-beautiful-mess/about/   Kim’s Book:  https://www.amazon.com/Beautiful-Mess-Kimberly-Kupiecki/dp/1634896475/ref=sr_1_4?crid=3RA8CARM38KM&keywords=the+beautiful+mess+kimberly&qid=1704835686&s=books&sprefix=the+beautiful+mess+%2Cstripbooks%2C128&sr=1-4    Connect with Denise of Working Moms Redefined:    Catch full episodes and subscribe to The Working Moms Redefined Podcast on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@WorkingMomsRedefined    Click here for the 9 Minutes a Day for a Lifetime of Connection Masterclass!     Listen to The Working Moms Redefined Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio and Amazon Music.
