Today I talked with Karsyn Dupree! I have known her for quite some time and yet this is the first time we have come together to connect about a wide range of topics we feel similarly about. We talk about eating disorder recovery (in the spotlight and otherwise) all different facets of parenting and motherhood, our intuition, and even enneagram types. We cover SO MUCH here and it is a BIG episode. Give the whole thing a listen!!

Karsyn DuPree is a 26-year-old mama of two boys, Phoenix (2 years) & Sage (10 months) living in Nashville, TN. Karsyn leads a multi-hyphenated life, including running a small handmade shop, training to be a birth doula, occasionally making music with her husband, and now embarking on the podcast venture, Conscious As A Mother.

Stepping into the blogging scene in 2012, Karsyn began her blog initially as a way to share her experience with recovery from an eating disorder. She has since gone on to speak on body positivity, and chooses to reclaim her relationship with her body on a daily basis from a conscious lens of nurturing and respect. In the eight years since its conception, her blog has naturally shifted to a more lifestyle focus, marrying her love for recipes, family, motherhood, design, and personal experiences. For fun, Karsyn is currently in the process of remodeling her family’s 1970s home with her husband, Collin, sharing the journey on her blog and Instagram account.
