In her first episode since the arrival of her baby girl Kepler Grace, Krista shares her birth story and describes how her life has changed since becoming a mother. As a new mom, Krista expresses her gratitude for the ‘mycelium of mothers’ who have supported her on her motherhood journey and explains why she decided to opt for an OB to care for her in the last few weeks of her pregnancy. Krista also tackles her confusion over her changing sense of identity and wonders how her softer, more feminine energy might affect her approach to her business. But, above all, she celebrates the joys of new motherhood and talks about her experience of breastfeeding, cosleeping, and getting to know her little girl.
