If you’ve ever caught yourself thinking, “I just wish I had a bigger kitchen, more time, better friendships, or fill-in-the-blank…” this conversation is for you.

Rachel sits down with Kate Strickler, the voice behind the wildly popular blog and Instagram account Naptime Kitchen and now the author of I Just Wish I Had a Bigger Kitchen: And Other Lies I Thought Would Make Me Happy.

Kate has become a trusted friend online for her honest, hilarious, and deeply relatable take on motherhood and home life.

In this episode, Kate shares:

The first “I just wish…” lie she believed and how it shaped her book
Why comparison sneaks up on so many of us—and how she’s learning to fight it
The small perspective shifts that can change how you see your home, your kids, and your life
The kitchen fails, parenting mishaps, and raw moments that remind her she’s not alone (and neither are you)

This is a conversation packed with laughs, honesty, and hope for any mom who’s tired of wishing her life looked different and is ready to love the one she already has.
