Kiara also spoke candidly on the latest episode of Raj Shamani’s podcast, talking about her struggles with postpartum since giving birth to her daughter. While expressing her struggles, Kiara said, “Nobody talks about postpartum, and it should be spoken about more… It (motherhood) is such an identity shift. It is such a new world, and in that moment, it is difficult for the woman going through it to give herself grace. It takes time. It has taken me six months… In the past six months, I have just told myself: Just give yourself grace.”

On the podcast, Kiara added, “I think the best things that I have done for myself, since my baby was born, is to set boundaries and not do critical conversations with myself because sometimes you’re too critical about what you’re doing, you don’t focus on fear. I’ve learned everything on my own in the six months that I’ve been there,” Kiara continued.
