Twin mama, boy mama, fur & feather mama, wife to the sexiest man on the planet, & daughter of The King!

Kathryn, esteemed marriage coach & founder of The White Picket Fence Project, is a best selling author (next publication coming May 2024) & has over 20 years of teaching and coaching experience.

Especially passionate about family and children, she also has a wide array of Early Childhood Certifications such as ECE, Childcare Worker, Childcare Assistant, Educational Assistant, Pediatric Sleep Consultant, & Certified Breastfeeding Counsellor, and is recognized by the International Association of Child Sleep Consultants, all of which allow her to help in her area of passion…keeping families together and helping all women be the best mama, wife and woman she can be!

Kathryn started her academic career with the BSc at Saint Mary's University in Halifax in 2001 before moving on to the Bachelor of Education program at the University of Alberta in Edmonton in 2008 & then later transferred into the Bachelor of Applied Human Services Administration program at MacEwan University in Edmonton in 2013.

Kathryn & her husband Cass Morrow got married in 2015, and if you’re here for The White Picket Fence Project, you’ve probably heard some of the horrific stories. Despite their tumultuous and abusive relationship, they owned and operated a successful boutique fitness studio in Edmonton, AB called Healthy Rhino (later Rhino Nutrition & Fitness), which closed in 2020.

While completing a MSc in Nutrition with a specialty in CBT & Weight Loss in 2016-2017, Kathryn & Cass went global with Kathryn’s nutrition business (KGM Nutrition) to serve people above & beyond the reach of their local city & community.

In 2019, after having children, Kathryn (currently in 2023 a proud mama of twin girls & a baby boy), was still passionate about weight loss & body composition, but she had a few found a special place in her heart for mamas with young children, so she expanded her brand to include various pediatric specialties to align with her core values of being a present and engaged mama. This side of her brand is known as Mother Nurture, which includes postpartum fitness & nutrition, sleep consulting, breastfeeding support, ECE and more.

Today, the Morrow family, (healed & whole) resides in beautiful Kelowna, BC, Canada, & as a narcissistic abuse survivor whose family and marriage have defied all odds, Kathryn has committed her life to being a loving wife, a nurturing mama, and a marriage coach specializing in extreme situations where all hope appears lost. She is currently completing a Doctorate in Business Leadership at Golden Gate University in San Francisco and also runs a women’s business coaching business called Six Figure Nap, where she teaches women how to successfully build their own personal brands while their precious babies are napping. She is living proof anything is possible!

⁉️Did you know that even dry bleach can be absorbed through your baby’s skin? ☠️ Sometimes you might want to use bleach anyway - especially with COVID running rampant these days. I don’t recommend cleaning with bleach, but even I cave and use it every once in a while. ✔️Here’s how: according to the CDC mix a cup of bleach with a gallon of water for sanitizing and sanitize the floor, surfaces and non porous toys etc., but before you allow your kids to walk or crawl on the floor with their delicate skin, allow it to completely dry, and then mop again (yes I said again) once or twice (sorry 😬) with warm soapy water to remove as much of the bleach residue as possible. While cleaning with bleach remember to open as many doors/windows as possible to increase airflow and reduce exposure to fumes. When your children touch a dry, previously bleached surface (toys, floor etc), the moisture and oils in their skin can activate the dried bleach to produce moist little micro particles that are easily absorbed into their delicate permeable skin. It might be more work to mop in triplicate, but trust me, you don’t want bleach in your little one’s bloodstream! 🪟 So open the windows 🧼 Mop a few times 🧽 Keep your kids away from surfaces until they are cleaned/rinsed and completely dry ☣️To be even safer, skip the bleach completely and choose a different cleaning solution. Happy cleaning 💛

A gentleman versus a gentle man ✔️when I met my husband, one of the things I loved about him was that he was a gentleman. He opened doors, was romantic etc. What I didn’t know was that he had a hidden anger problem - and when we met one of the things I asked was “do you have an anger issue” and he replied a definitive “no”. A few short weeks into our relationship the anger started. My husband got angrier and angrier and apologized less and less. I was blindsided, and to be honest it brought out a side of me I didn’t even know I had. Sure I got in fights with partners before but NOTHING compared to how I was responding to Ryan’s anger. It blew me away. At one point I signed up for an anger management class because I couldn’t believe my reactions. When my husband would ask what I needed I would say “be tender towards me”, “speak softly”, and “be gentle”. I felt like a broken record. Years later we got on the same page. We learned how to communicate, but mostly I learned how to read his emotions, how to see the hurt behind the anger, and how to show empathy towards him when I thought he was acting crazy. When I didn’t join in on his chaos, I was able to view the situation with an open heart, which was all he really needed, which…you guessed it…. Brought out his GENTLE side. For years I asked him to be gentle, but it turns out what he needed was me to react in a gentle way and show him that I had space for his emotions without losing control myself. And do you know what? All the parenting courses will say the same thing - when your toddler is throwing a tantrum - if you can prevent yourself from having extreme emotions and from joining their chaos, you’ll teach them their emotions are valid and they will learn how to process them. This might sound like I’m comparing my husband to a toddler. I am. When an angry man explodes, his brain is basically responding the same as your toddler. If you can harness your own emotions and channel it into empathy you will be a shining example for the ones who are hurting. 💛 longer post on my personal Facebook profile (look me up)! Instagram cut me off. @ryancassmorrow for his story.

Perfection. That’s what a lot of women are trying to measure up to. As “mama” you’re not just a mother, but might also be taking care of your whole family. For mothers there can be a lot of pressure to act a certain way, look a certain way, parent a certain way and overall be a certain way. It’s hard. 🛁 Maybe you take lots of bubble baths 📱 Maybe you sit in the dark and scroll through social media for hours on end at the end of each day 🍷 Maybe you drink too much ✔️ Maybe all of the above! And for some of us, every now and again you might just lose your shit. Today I’m writing this to let you know you’re not alone. Today, just a few hours ago I lost my shit on my daughter. My innocent 2 year old daughter. ⁉️Some of you might be wondering what she could have done for me to lose my shit. 😡 Well let me tell you what she did to piss me off. 🛑 NOTHING ✖️My reaction had nothing to do with her. I’m sure some of you are still wondering what I meant when I say I lost my shit so I’ll elaborate before your mind goes wild. 👋🏻 Did I hit her? No. 🤬 Did I swear at her? No. ⁉️ Did I belittle or shame her? Still no. But I did yell at her, and in our home that is classified as losing your shit. We have a home that aims NOT to yell. We do raise our voice sometimes but we try hard not to yell at each other and we are trying to create an atmosphere of respect. Anyway - it happened. I yelled at her. When life seems to be piled on your shoulders, 🛌 when you haven’t slept, 🏋️‍♀️ when you don’t feel like you have time to work out, 🥗 eat right, 💧 or even drink enough water, 💣 it can be easy to have a short fuse. Lucky for me I have a supportive husband who has my back when I lose my way. Reminds me that he’s here to support me so I can do the things I need to do to keep myself balanced, and will be right along side me when I’m reaching for my next goal, whether that’s working on my postpartum bod or tightening up my parenting skills. I might make mistakes, but how we handle them and what we do to turn things around is what really matters. Drop me a DM if you need an ear to listen 💛 For a man’s perspective see @ryancassmorrow

💪🏼 Behind every strong man is an even stronger woman. ⁉️ Have you ever heard that? Can you relate? The idea is that a successful man has a woman in his corner cheering him on, rooting for him, and holding him up. But what about the reverse idea? How come no one says “behind every strong woman is an even stronger man”? Well partly, the feminist movement and the idea that women need to compete with men has been really popular in recent years. The thing is, women weren’t meant to be the same as men…at all. Men are built to lead, and women are built to be led. Does this mean women can’t be leaders? Of course not! I would never say such a thing. Anyway I digress a little, but the point I’m trying to get across today is that indeed, behind every strong woman is a strong and encouraging man. Take my example- by the time a woman reaches her 40s it is said that she will have tried upwards of 65 different diet plans 😮 So imagine this…you’re finally ready to commit to your health. You’re finally ready to lose weight (again). You’re finally taking control of your eating. Scenario 1: your husband says “where’s my credit card” and pays for your program, even though you’ve been unsuccessful 65 times. He stands behind you and wants to do anything to help you succeed. Scenario 2: your husband says “really? Again! Please don’t waste another cent. You and I both know you’re not going to stick with it, so why even bother?” Which woman is more successful? There are a few ways to look at this, but in scenario 1 the woman is empowered and encouraged. She is ready to rock. In some cases scenario 2 might work hard to “show him” but with her intentions being misaligned, the success will likely be temporary. My point? It takes 2. If you want to make a change, it’s difficult to do on your own, and it’s even more difficult if you’re actively being discouraged. Drop a 👋🏻 if you have a supportive partner who backs you up and encourages you no matter how much success you have (or do not have). For a man’s perspective, please visit @ryancassmorrow

😯 Real talk … my Ted Talk ⁉️Did you know I’ve been invited to speak on a TedX stage? ⁉️Do you know what’s even crazier? The topic. Me….as a mom….as a wife…as a business owner…..supporting other moms to work at home. THAT IS WHAT THEY PICKED ME FOR 😭 💛To say I’m humbled is an understatement. 😆But do you know what is the best? They picked me because what I think MATTERS and yet also, what I think might piss people off. They call it “polarizing”. The biggest TedX org in Europe picked me up…why? Can I just also say that again- the biggest TedX org 🥰😭🥰😭 😆Because I’m polarizing. (My friends are like “duh Kathryn you’ve always been polarizing” 😂) 🤩Anyway, my topic is parenting and embracing my Feminessence. I’m am honored. I am flattered. I am proud. And I am humbled. 🤱 They want me because I embody the traditional mom role. They want me because I am going after my dreams, but my kids come first. They want me because I’m not only a mama, I am a wife. They want me because I’m not competing with my husband - I’m supporting him so that he can support me in my role. Yes… I said “my role” See? Polarizing 😂 some of you hate that I just said that. ⁉️But you know what? My husband IS Supporting my role. When the twins were little he used to ask “do you want me to get up at night?”, and I would reply “no!” I honestly didn’t want him to get up. I want to be the one who gets up. I want to be mama. And now that we have a third, he rarely asks - because he knows I’m going to say no. He knows if he gets up with Riddick he will be stealing something from me that I will never get back. 💤 Sleep? Whatever. ⁉️But do you know what he does for me instead? 🛁 He runs Briar & Vale a bath. He takes out the diaper pail. He unloads the dishwasher. 🐕 He picks up Grif when I’m holding Riddick and Grif needs a cuddle. He does what he knows I need but cannot do. He doesn’t steal the things I can’t bear to love without. 💛🤱He’s my partner and he sees me for the woman I am. I want to be mama. I am Kathryn. But I am Ryan’s wife 💛 For a mans view @ryancassmorrow

🤱Breastfeeding the late pre term and early term infant… 💛A subject near and dear to my heart. I’ve always loved helping mamas. The thing is, since I’ve been a mama myself I’ve discovered many different passions related to motherhood, and one of those passions happens to be breastfeeding. My first experience with breastfeeding involved learning to breastfeed premature babies, and not just one but two! We were in the NICU for 11 days, and in those 11 days I had a ton of support. From NICU doctors to postpartum nurses, and from breastfeeding counsellors and lactation consultants to specialized lactation doctors, I had A TON of help. Breastfeeding premies was NO JOKE, and I had two of them. Since having my 3rd baby, I’ve learned that a full term singleton is very different than pre term multiples, and the breastfeeding experiences I had would be different again from the experiences you have had (or might have). As I expand my business and zero in on my true passions, my focus will and has shifted. KGM Nutrition is still going strong, and it is now run by 3 amazing coaches who would love to help you on your nutrition journey. If nutrition and weight loss is what you’re looking for, please let me introduce you to @danielle_kgmnutrition @janelle_kgm_ifbbpro and @coachkerri.kgmnutrition But if you’re looking for sleep consulting, breastfeeding support, childcare or parenting courses, please send me a DM. 💛Kathryn

⁉️Some people ask me “how do you do it?” with 3 kids under 2 and a half ⁉️ 1️⃣One word 🍷 Wine I’m not kidding.

👋🏻 It has been a while since I introduced myself! My name is Kathryn and I’m the founder of KGM Enterprises (KGM Nutrition). We are a health and wellness company for primarily women (specializing in mamas), and our focus is weight loss and a balanced lifestyle. 🥬 There can be a place for strict dieting, and while it does get results, restriction should be a means to an end - not a complete lifestyle overhaul 🍷 We believe in taking a non deprivation approach, which means there is room for wine, chocolate, french fries, or whatever your vice is 👶 We also offer sleep consulting and breastfeeding support for mamas who fit that demographic (this is still in the pre-launch stage and more info will be announced in the coming weeks). 💛Thanks for following us, and don’t hesitate to drop us a DM if you have any questions.

Happy Friday, Mamas 💛
