Mary Catherine’s Story:
Where to begin? First, I grew up in Atlanta, GA. Then I went to college at a small liberal arts school in Kentucky. Four years later, I was a recent college grad living in NYC and working in marketing.
In 2009, my then-boyfriend, now-husband, Ben, and I moved to Washington, DC for his job and I got another corporate desk job (not a great fit for my creative, entrepreneurial soul). So I became a yoga teacher and quit my corporate job to focus on yoga, art, and blogging (which is when I started my blog, Starr Struck). I became a yoga studio director. I opened an Etsy shop and started making greeting cards. I taught all of the yoga and wrote all of the blog posts and did lots of custom art on the side.
In 2012, Ben and I got married and decided to move to Cape Cod (Ben’s hometown) to settle down and eventually start a family…which we did in 2016.
Since then, I’ve started (and run) a graphic design + consulting business, taught yoga at many studios and in many different places, started and ended two podcasts, continued to create products and run my shop, had two kids, and eventually created @momlife_comics, an Instagram account where I share the challenges (+ joys!) of motherhood, marriage, and being a woman in this world.
These days I’m teaching a lot less yoga and creating a lot more comics (my first book, a comic memoir entitled Mama Needs a Minute!, came out in March, 2025!), but I’m still a graphic designer + mom by day and teach two yoga classes per week. I’ve decided that finding balance is impossible but I am always doing my best to find joy amidst the insanity that is daily life with two young children.

Mom Boundaries (0:00), Dr. Noëlle shares her educational journey, clinical background, and why she chose psychology over law to help families heal (1:49), the rise of "Mean Girl Moms" (5:41) and relational aggression (9:18), parenting under pressure, sports, and how we can help our children follow their own internal compass instead of external pressure (14:15).
