Episode 33: Minisode - Burnout Isn’t a Badge & Other Truths
This week, it’s Krista’s turn in the hot seat as we continue our mini-episode series with a rapid fire round of the same questions we ask all of our guests.
Krista reflects on what self-care really looks like in a season that feels loud, busy, and unfinished. From wanting her roots done to needing accountability, emotional support beverages, and permission to coast, this episode is a candid look at navigating motherhood, motivation, and personal growth without pretending everything is under control.
It’s a gentle reminder that there’s no prize for burnout — and that choosing yourself, even in small ways, still counts.
