94. An Honest Conversation About Life After Pregnancy with Kristen Jacob & Alexis Joseph

Healing Hormones

We’re going to get open and honest about what it’s like being a new mom, with two other mothers who are going through it right now.

Kristen Jacob, returning after recently on the podcast, is a pediatric sleep consultant, newborn care specialist, and lactation consultant in training.

Alexis Joseph is a dietitian, nutrition consultant, and the founder of Hummusapien, a multifaceted food, wellness, and lifestyle brand. She’s also the co-founder of Alchemy in Columbus, Ohio.

We’re talking all about new motherhood and everything that comes along with it – the ups, the downs, the happy, and the crazy – and we’re getting real, open, and honest about it all.
