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

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.
