Episode 122
In this week’s episode of A Day in Her Life, Ellie sits down with Christina Pardy—founder of the beloved knitwear brand Sh*t That I Knit, mom of two (with one on the way), and Boston city-dweller navigating life after selling her business.
Christina shares candidly about what her days look like right now, from 5 AM coffee walks and pancake breakfasts with her girls to building a more flexible consulting career. She opens up about shifting her identity after selling her company, the role her nanny plays in helping her feel like a better mom, and why she’s embracing flexibility during this season of life.

This is an inspiring, honest look at motherhood, transitions, and building a life you actually want—without burning yourself out.
