Coming Home to Yourself with Kristan Swan

In this episode, host Lisa Foster talks with Kristan Swan, a fellow mom, creator, author, and workshop facilitator, about how to find our way home to ourselves amidst the challenges of life. They explore why so many of us lose our sense of self and navigate the noise of society that tries to shape who we should be.

Kristan shares her practical approach, starting with curiosity, embracing an open-minded, non-judgmental mindset, and turning to a prompted journaling practice each day.

Learn how writing by hand, noting your “big yes” moments, and checking in with the day’s bright spots can ground you and help you trust your inner wisdom again.

If you’ve ever felt stretched thin by motherhood and wished to put yourself at the top of the to-do list, this conversation offers relatable insights and actionable steps to reclaim your identity and well-being.
