Update: 2025-09-24
Description
Ashlyn is wrapping up Sequel September with a raw and emotional conversation as she welcomes back Kristen Mrazek. In her first appearance, listeners met Kristen before her motherhood journey—but this time, she’s back to share the unfiltered reality of everything that’s happened since.
Kristen opens up about the many hoops she had to jump through on her fertility journey, the heartbreak of miscarriages, and the resilience it took to keep moving forward. She takes us deep into her birth story, what it taught her, and how she’s been navigating the ups and downs of motherhood. Kristen also shares her experience of being diagnosed with MS, and how it’s reshaped her perspective on strength, health, and what it means to show up for herself and her family.
This episode is real, unvarnished, and full of hard truths—an honest look at both the struggles and the strength that come with life’s biggest transitions.
