On this week’s show we are celebrating the youngest member of the BusBench Babes and The BPR Experience team, Kristi’s daughter, Kaia Soleil, who just celebrated her golden birthday, turning 3! Kristi and her husband Ryan Clinton of Audio Soleil, who is also the producer of the podcast, share their parenting journey the first 3 years, some of the challenges they’ve experienced as first time parents, what they’ve learned along the way and what they love about the so called balance of parenting while being small business owners. Our goal with this special episode is to spark a conversation within our community to bring parents together and hopefully help them feel a little less alone. Kristi and Ryan share their struggles of the early days of parenting, how they navigated PTSD postpartum and beyond, the tensions a traumatic birth put on their marriage, how they learned to start saying “no” to say “yes” and how finding your true north, and letting it be your guide no matter where your path takes you can be life changing. We hope you enjoy this conversation and it sparks a little fire inside of you! Let’s dive in!
