Karin is the Executive Director of Friends of New York Nursing Partnership, a nonprofit supporting mothers across New York City with everything from postpartum care and mental health services to career support and community connection.

In this conversation, we talk about how becoming a mother later in life changed the future Karin once imagined for herself. What she thought would be a season focused on staying home instead led her into mission-driven work supporting other new moms — many navigating motherhood without proper resources or support systems. 

We discuss raising a child with autism, the realities of early motherhood, and how Karin has recently stepped into advocacy work, traveling to Albany to push for funding that directly impacts families across New York.

This episode is a conversation about motherhood, work, and what happens when your personal experience reshapes your professional path.
