Kellie Gerardi joins Real Pod! Kellie is a bioastronautics researcher, a trailblazing astronaut, and one of the first 100 women to fly to space. She’s here to talk about her incredible journey—both in orbit and on Earth—as she prepares for her second spaceflight. Kellie opens up about her IVF experience, the emotional toll of multiple miscarriages, and how she found resilience in the unknown. She also shares her perspective on perfectionism, body image, and why seeing Earth from space completely changed her outlook on life. Plus, we get into relationships, boundaries, and how she and her husband support each other’s ambitions while staying true to themselves. This episode is full of powerful insights on chasing big dreams, trusting the process, and embracing the perspective that nothing matters—in the best way possible. Tune in for an inspiring and deeply personal conversation you won’t forget!
