About your host
Krista Kahmann
Hello! I’m Krista. I am a proud wife to my wonderful husband Chase and mommy to our beautiful little girl, Harper. I am also a Licensed Massage Therapist and Certified Infant Massage Instructor with a passion for the outdoors, traveling, a glass of wine and a good book and anything that involves chocolate!
I have always had a passion for people and am truly fulfilled by helping others. I allowed that passion to drive my career choice by becoming a Massage Therapist, but it wasn’t until I experienced pregnancy and my own postpartum journey that I realized my true calling was to nurture other women as they move through all of the beautiful phases of motherhood.
For me, postpartum was filled with so much joy but also a LOT of hard. When looking for answers, I was constantly met with words like depression, anxiety and many other negative words to describe postpartum, and those weren’t the words I wanted to use for where I was.
My hope is that with this podcast we help women feel empowered to share their own postpartum stories all while being part of a positive and uplifting community that isn’t afraid to share their hard.
“Recognize that in postpartum you become a new woman, and the new woman you are is even more beautiful and has grown from the experiences gained in motherhood.
”
so why did Krista and Nkiru start this podcast?
Both Nikki and I had a shared passion for this crazy life change phase in a woman’s life we call postpartum. After going through our individual postpartum journeys, we realized there was a need to empower women throughout their own postpartum and provide more a more uplifting vocabulary to describe all the different experiences each woman has, rather than the very limited negative descriptions currently being used. And lets face it, no one is talking about what really happens after the birth story! We made it our mission to help women change their story and relearn how to grow and love the woman they are now!
“The lie most of us seem to believe is that the huge identity shift you experienced makes it now just about your baby and not about you, and it’s totally about you. ”
