Ep 15 | Advent: Finding Courage to Bloom in Winter with Kelly Jo Preston

If you find yourself weary and overwhelmed this Christmas season, I want to invite you to come and listen to our season finale and special Christmas episode. While there is so much fun and joy that comes with the gathering, gift-giving, and seeing this season through our kid’s eyes, I’m most excited about our family’s newest Christmas tradition. It’s called Advent. Advent is the practice of contemplating God’s arrival into the world through the life of Jesus and the anticipation of his return. In this episode, you’ll hear some of my own story intersecting motherhood, loss, and faith through the mystery of advent. The stories shared involve a ton of waiting and a lot of hope! I share how God met me in my grief and helped me through and out of my pain. His hope and comfort are like none other and what so many of us need more of right now! Come find encouragement for your soul today and enjoy this holiday season!

Ep 14 | Rethinking Prenatal Nutrition with Lily Nichols, RDN

If I told you that as a pregnant mama, your prenatal nutrition affects the long-term health of not only you and your baby but even your grandchildren-would you believe me? While it sounds a little crazy, the research supports this! What an incredible gift we have the chance to give our growing families. Yet it is still so easy to get food confused in our society. That’s why I’ve invited registered dietician and nutritionist, Lily Nichols to help us understand why many of the prenatal nutritional recommendations offered are actually outdated. We’re talking about the importance of including real food in your diet, why protein is mama’s top priority and some easy ways to get the most nutrients to you and that growing baby! Let’s dive in!
