This is the full podcast interview and conversation with Kriste O'Brien that we recorded on January 29, 2022, part of my fifth Spotlight on Joy blog post (February 11th) on my site: www.shineyourjoy.space.

Kriste is a wife and mom of three, including two college students. She lives in New Hampshire with her family and enjoys hiking in the White Mountains, as well as checking out the latest concerts. She is a fellow Emerson alumna, and first-time author! Her book, Fat Mom on a Mountain, chronicles her journey to losing 50 pounds in 50 weeks, by her milestone 50th birthday, while facing her fears by climbing Half Dome at Yosemite.
