S2 EP21 | Postpartum On My Time & My Terms

After 10+ years in corporate communications and customer experience, Krislyn Powell made a radical choice: she left. Not because she had to, but because she wanted to enjoy her life. In this deeply personal episode, Krislyn shares her journey from climbing the corporate ladder to stepping away to build a business aligned with her values - all while navigating motherhood and postpartum on her own terms. She talks about the moment she knew it was time to move on, what "radical responsibility" actually means (owning your time and choices, fully), and why the traditional postpartum recovery timeline doesn't work for ambitious mothers who want both career fulfillment and presence with their kids. Krislyn reflects on the challenges and joys of building Find Flow Birth Co. and the Birth at Work podcast while raising two young children, the importance of community support, and what it costs to stay in spaces that don't align with who you are. This episode is for anyone questioning whether the corporate path is really theirs, wondering if it's possible to have both meaningful work and a life you actually enjoy, or feeling trapped by the expectation that postpartum looks a certain way. Krislyn's answer: it doesn't. You get one life. This is how she's living hers. Connect with Krislyn here: *IG - *https://www.instagram.com/birthatworkhttps...
