first few months with a newborn can feel quite isolating. "That New
Mom Life" helps listeners feel seen and understood. Even if they're
tuning in during middle-of-the-night feedings, I want them to know
that they are not alone. I'm excited to co-host this series with
Desiree and create a space to share personal stories—from the
hilarious to the inspiring—as we hear from top postpartum experts
and real moms in the trenches. My goal, as always, is to encourage
mamas to navigate parenthood with confidence."

Grace Bastidas oversees the creative vision and mission
of the brand which reaches 3.4 million multicultural moms and dads.
