Send us Fan Mail

In this solo episode of The Rainbow Connection, Kristin Mundy shares more of her personal motherhood story — including her first miscarriage, a significant health crisis, and the early experiences with grief that shaped who she is today. Kristin reflects on where her motherhood truly began, long before holding a baby in her arms, and how loss quietly influences identity, timing, and becoming. This episode offers an honest look at the parts of the journey that are often unseen, and why slowing down and telling the fuller story matters.

In this episode, Kristin shares:

- Why she felt called to record a solo episode and revisit her own story
- Her experience with her first miscarriage

- Finding herself paralyzed and navigating a major health crisis

- Being diagnosed with Transverse Myelitis and Lupus

- The decision to start chemotherapy on her baby's due date

- Living in the “before” and “after” of loss
- What a viral post revealed about visibility, grief, and untold parts of the story


This episode is a gentle reminder that motherhood doesn’t always begin the way we expect — and that grief, healing, and becoming often start long before the moments the world can see.
