This week, we’re joined by Emmy-nominated filmmaker Matt D'Avella, who opens up about the most painful business decision he’s ever made—firing people he loved.

This week, we’ve made the trip over to Kate Albrecht & Joey Zehr’s house. You may know them better as the duo behind the YouTube channel Mr. Kate, where they take you on a journey through life, style, interior design, and DIY. Kate & Joey open up about taking a pause from the constant hustle and reconnecting with themselves. We dive into topics like health struggles, the pressures of perfectionism, the evolution of their parenting style, and how they inspire their son Moon to embrace his creativity. If we had to sum this conversation up, it’s that you can’t have it all in life. May this episode inspire you to find your balance and embrace life’s ups and downs. 🫶 Join the Reroot Community: Instagram - www.instagram.com/rerootpod TikTok - www.tiktok.com/@rerootpod Reroot Facebook Group - www.facebook.com/groups/1784427378276987 Watch the podcast on YouTube: https://youtu.be/9i6IbsBfbJo 0:00 - intro 3:15 - Kate’s hiding something 6:06 - taking a step back 12:47 - you can’t have it all 20:00 - their inward journey 25:50 - health issues relating to work 31:13 - self expression through fashion 37:31 - delegation and managing teams 46:40 - trauma from first birth 54:37 - trying not to screw up our kids 59:52 - is Hawaii what you wanted it to be 1:03:35 - seeing our Adsense go down 1:06:20 - being the caregiver is traumatic 1:09:50 - putting effort in pays off 1:13:09 - raising a screen free child 1:22:21 - the furniture line 1:28:53 - you have to be delulu 1:35:00 - Real Talk 1:34:34 - Real Talk 1:40:00 - BTS of the name reveal Learn more about your ad choices.
