Episode 8: Carolyn's Journey

February 11, 2019 • Magda Morales with Carolyn Banner • Season 1 • Episode 8

In this episode, Magda interviews her good friend Carolyn Banner, creator of Body by Banner, Whole Body Wellness, where she helps busy women make magic in their lives through streamlined nutrition and movement. Carolyn talks about how she's good at being real with her 5-year-old son, Oli, even if it means being honest about Santa. Carolyn shares how her husband, Fernando, has adult children from a previous relationship and how deciding to become parents together was not a decision she made lightly. She talks about how she believes a shift in the culture of motherhood needs to happen at a broader level, also involving non-mothers in the conversation, and change at the policy level. Carolyn lives with her family in the Hyde Park neighborhood in Chicago, IL.
