In this heartfelt and empowering conversation, Dr. Krista Cassel joins me to talk about the messy, meaningful reality of modern motherhood. As a pediatric nurse practitioner, lactation consultant, small business owner, and mom of three, Krista brings a rare blend of professional insight and personal honesty. We dive into the invisible work of mothering, the myth of balance, the guilt that so many working moms carry, and how grace, not perfection, is what truly sustains us. Whether you’re juggling clinic notes and soccer practices, pumping between shifts, or just trying to stay present in the chaos, this episode is for you. Krista reminds us that we’re not failing, we’re faithfully showing up in a thousand unseen ways.
