Preparing Yourself, Your Home, and Your Partner for Baby with New Mom Boss, Kallista Andersen Megan Mikkelsen, MPH - Detox by Design

Being a mom can be super overwhelming! When I was pregnant, I read every book I could find about pregnancy, but I didn’t even think to read anything about caring for a baby! I was so unprepared. I definitely could have used a coach like Kallista to help me prep emotionally and mentally for becoming a mom.

Preparing Yourself, Your Home, and Your Partner for Baby with New Mom Boss, Kallista Andersen

Kallista shared her story about pregnancy and early motherhood. How she did everything she thought she needed to do to prep for baby, you know, the Pinterest perfect nursery and everything that comes with the ideas we have in our head when pregnant with our first baby. 

Then she had her daughter and the sleep deprivation hit her like a Mack truck. While she thought she was “prepared” she hadn’t prepared the way she should have. From breastfeeding to taking care of her home and herself, she felt lost and discouraged. Then, when her daughter was 4 months old, she found out she was pregnant again and she was determined to better prepare herself for baby #2. 

This is where Kallista’s thrived, she found that while she enjoyed working as a nurse, it wasn’t her true passion any more. So she decided to help pregnant moms prepare for their baby. Through her podcast The New Mom Boss and her program, New Mom Prep School, she helps pregnant moms prepare themselves, their home, and their partner for baby.

Oh, how I could have used Kallista’s help back in the day! 

If you’re a new mom, an expectant mom, or if you want to take a trip back in time and think back to those days of when you were prepping to welcome a little one into your home, I encourage you to go listen to this episode.

And if you know someone who is prepping for baby right now, forward this to them. I definitely would have loved a friend looking out for me and guiding to help like Kallista’s!
