KALLISTA ANDERSON- Preparing to be a New Mom

Send us Fan MailToday I speak with Kalista Anderson, a Registered Nurse, Certified Lactation Counselor, and mom of three. Kallista helps pregnant mamas get ready for their baby by preparing their self, space, and significant other. She does so through her podcast, The New Mom Boss Podcast, as well as coaching, and online course New Mom Prep School. Her dedication to helping first-time moms was born when she had her first 2 kids 13 months apart -- experiencing the new mom phase back to back. It is her mission to make preparing to be a new mom simple and thorough so that women can enter motherhood with confidence and joy so that they can build a strong bond with their baby. We talk about:-having a section Tim experience the first time around-experiencing postpartum depression-sleep training-sleep for mental health-getting your body back postpartum-seasonal affect disorder-helping moms through podcast and coaching-collect and select-embracing the virtual communityTime Stamps1:00 introduction4:45 expectations versus reality7:20 having babies back to back8:55 changes with the third pregnancy 13:30 importance of sleep 15:18 urgency to return to normal20:30 podcast and programming25:08 5th trimester28:15 rapid fire questionsCONNECT WITH CARRIEIG: https://www.instagram.com/carriepagliano/Website: https://carriepagliano.comCONNECT WITH KALISTAIG: https://www.instagram.com/newmomboss/Website: www.newmomboss.comThe Active Mom Podcast — a real mom's guide to pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause & beyond, for active moms and the professionals who help them get there.Quick-hit conversations with moms, providers, and researchers... because you don't have a lot of free time (you're probably listening at 1.5x right now).Follow so you don't miss an episode.
