Episode 121: Be a Duplicatable Leader with Tessa from Build A Country Home

The season of Advent is almost here…a time of waiting and expectation for Christ's birth. This *should be a time of peace and togetherness in our homes, but in reality…

Sometimes it's just not.

Sometimes we overload our calendars, rush from thing to thing, and by the time Christmas arrives, we're exhausted, our kids have lost their minds, and our homes are a disaster.

Not this year, sweet mommas. Not. This. Year.

Today we have Tessa from Build a Country Home. She is a homeschooling mom of 6 and her family owns a dairy farm in southern Alberta. She is deeply connected with the unique struggles of life in regards to motherhood and has built a business by helping women create harmony, order, and cooperation within their home and family so that they have energy and the mental fortitude to do all the things that God has asked of them...especially during the holiday seasons!

Episode 118: You’re Arguing With Your Reality With Catherine Johnson

We’re coming back after a long series on miscarriage, and originally we wanted to release this interview in a different month, but after the interview with Catherine Johnson, we KNEW that it actually belonged right here, between our discussion on loss and our discussion coming up on welcoming the holiday season.

As beautiful as the holidays are, they can also bring a slew of many other emotions that are LESS enjoyable…overwhelm, resentment, anger, bitterness…because when we get overwhelmed we can feel like EVERYTHING depends on us!

These emotions can come out in all kinds of different ways, and they can waterfall into our families. Especially during times of high stress…like the holidays.

Episode 116: Finding Hope Again After Miscarriage with Kylie Hein

It’s no secret that miscarriages shake our foundations to the very core. This month has been all about miscarriages…our personal stories and journeys and how they whisper deep seeded sorrows of loss, confusion, and even anger into the corners of our hearts. Often leaving us feeling lost, misunderstood, and alone. But that isn’t the end of the story, and just as Emily spoke a little hope and healing into our hearts last week…we have a beautiful guest with us today to speak even more hope into those heavy hearts.

Kylie is a Catholic Mindset Coach with a mission to bring souls back to Christ through prayer…and boy do we need to be brought back…even kicking and screaming and crying…after a miscarriage. She works to connect women with prayer and trust again. She resides in Nebraska with her two children and husband, Russell and loves the blessings their small town offers them.

Please welcome Kylie Hein!

This one is fire ♥.

Episode 114: Miscarriage…the Quiet Hurt

Some wounds are so deep and so personal that we don’t talk about them... even with our closest friends. Miscarriage can fall into that category, but sweet mommas, it shouldn’t.  So it’s in that spirit, we’ve decided to begin the conversation of pregnancy and infant loss month with our own experiences of pregnancy loss...and we go deep. Come go deep with us.

Episode 113: On Purpose, for a Purpose with Jessica Castillo

Welcome back to the Just A Mom series...Of course no mom is JUST a mom and we're proving that by sharing the seemingly ordinary stories of mommas in our community and shedding light on the beauty and lessons they have to offer.

Because seriously...there is so much beauty in our contributions as mothers, wives, sisters, and daughters ...and we all know it rarely gets attention or credit, because as we've been quoting Laurel Thatcher Ulrich these past few episodes... well-behaved women seldom make history. So let's change that!

Imagine waking up after 7 hours of glorious sleep (ok…maybe it was interrupted a few times by children-let's be realistic), clear on what your purpose is, AND you have plenty of energy to tackle every task the day throws your way… if this sounds like a fantasy...keep listening!

Today's guest is a momma, a Catholic personal development and certified health coach and she's made it her personal mission to remind us that we're made "on purpose and for a purpose". She works directly with Catholic Mommas in all walks of life and teaches them how to maximize their energy, productivity, and focus so they can thrive in their vocations.

Today we have Jessica Castillo! You can find more of Jessica…

Episode 112: The Fourth Trimester

The fourth trimester...it's the one no one talks enough about...

It's starts when then baby is born and goes for 12 weeks after.

Our lives change in a huge way when we have a baby...and not just the first one. But every single new baby brings about a new transition into a new and unknown motherhood.

New is defined by Google as: not existing before; made, introduced, or discovered recently or now for the first time OR already existing but seen, experienced, or acquired recently or now for the first time.

Unless you've had this exact pregnancy, delivery, and baby before we are new moms each and every time we bring a new baby into the world. Not to mention bringing home baby #2...5...or 8 to a home filled with 1....4....or 7 kids already makes this a brand new transition to a brand new motherhood.

Our bodies have undergone immense change over months and an even more immense change in more than likely a much briefer amount of time and most of us feel the longing to have our body back immediately.

Episode 111: If You’ve Ever Peed Yourself…with Dr. Angela Turnow

We're back with our "Just a Mom series" and this month we're tackling all things postpartum!

Have you ever laughed and peed yourself even just a little or had a c-section only for them to send you home with basically just a high five and a "listen to your body", or you noticed your insides up in the nether regions aren't quite where they should be anymore, or sex just isn't what it once was … if so, you're going to love our guest today as much as we did, when we met her.

Today we've got Angela Turnow, orthopedic and pelvic floor physical therapist and soon to be momma of 3…in addition to all her titles and experience working with fellow mommas, she's also overcome her own struggles with pelvic floor issues and the mindset struggles that come from adjusting to our new bodies post-pregnancy.
