We’re back with a powerful and honest episode featuring Kristin O’Connell, Sr. Director of Sales at Once Upon a Farm — a leader, mother, and advocate for clean, accessible nutrition for kids.
This episode isn’t just about food or sales — it’s about our real experiences behind the scenes: going viral on LinkedIn, navigating motherhood in the workplace, and making the leap from big CPG to an emerging natural brand.
We chat:
What it’s like to go viral on LinkedIn (10.5M+ views!) — and what that moment meant
The realities of motherhood as a working professional
Transitioning from big CPG to a fast-growing brand like Once Upon a Farm
Why we need more honest conversations about identity, work, and change to help lift others up
Whether you're balancing your own version of work and parenthood, or simply looking to hear from someone leading with heart — this one's for you.
