Motherhood Is a Marathon (Season Finale) If you want to be healthy but never seem to make it a priority, this episode is for you. So many moms long to feel better—to have more energy, more patience, more strength, more clarity—yet wellness keeps getting pushed to “later.” Not because you don’t care, but because life feels full, the needs feel endless, and taking care of yourself feels like something extra instead of something essential. But here’s the truth, mama: your wellness is not a luxury — it’s the fuel that helps you run your God-given race with endurance instead of exhaustion. In this season finale, we’re getting honest about why moms stay stuck in survival mode, even when their heart is craving change. We’re talking about the quiet beliefs that make you put yourself last, the guilt that tells you your needs don’t matter, and the exhaustion that becomes so normal you hardly notice it anymore. And then we’re flipping the script with empowering, biblical truth: ✨ You are worthy of care because God already calls you worthy. ✨ You don’t have to earn rest, energy, or wellness. ✨ Your health strengthens your family—not takes from them. ✨ Wanting to feel better is good—but prioritizing it is transformative. This episode will remind you that motherhood is a marathon—and you cannot keep running it on fumes. You need strength. You need support. You need space to breathe. And you deserve to feel like yourself again. If you’re ready to move from “someday” to “today,” from barely getting by to living with intention, clarity, and confidence, this conversation will meet you right where you are and help you take your next step forward. Season 2 begins the first week of January, filled with practical guidance, hopeful perspective, and encouragement to help you step into the new year feeling lighter, stronger, and more alive. For now, hold onto this: You are not behind. You are not disqualified. And you don’t have to walk into wellness alone.

Stress and the Flu: How Peace Protects Your Immune System Part 5 of the Series: Flu Season Survival: A Mom’s Guide to Staying Healthy When Everyone’s Getting Sick If you’ve ever wondered why the holidays leave you exhausted, craving sugar, and catching every cold that goes around… this one’s for you. Because flu season isn’t just flu season — it’s stress season. Between the sugar highs, endless to-do lists, and trying to make everything magical for everyone else, your body is quietly paying the price. Stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline are working overtime, suppressing your immune system, spiking your blood sugar, and even lowering your serotonin — that “feel-good” hormone made in your gut. No wonder you feel drained, anxious, and on the verge of burnout before the tree lights even come down. But here’s the good news: there’s a better way to live through the season you love — and it starts with what I call The Peace Prescription. In this episode, I’ll show you how peace and presence are not only good for your soul, they’re God’s built-in design for healing your body. You’ll learn how rest actually restores your immune system, why peace lowers inflammation, and how living in alignment with God’s rhythms can bring back the joy and wonder you’ve been missing. I’ll also share the story of the year God asked me to let go of some of my favorite holiday traditions — the ones that looked beautiful on the outside but were quietly stealing my peace — and how saying “no” to perfection opened the door to more presence, more joy, and more health. So if you’re sitting there with your lukewarm coffee, wondering why you feel so tired before December’s even halfway over, take a breath and tune in. Because the secret to a healthy body — and a peaceful Christmas — might just be found in the stillness you’ve been avoiding. ✨ In this episode, you’ll learn: Why stress might be the biggest immune suppressor this season. How cortisol, sugar, and serotonin are connected. The science (and Scripture!) behind God’s design for rest. Simple, practical ways to find peace in your mind, body, and home.

The Gut–Sugar–Stress Loop — How to Stay Healthy During Flu Season Part 1 of the Series: Flu Season Survival: A Mom’s Guide to Staying Healthy When Everyone’s Getting Sick. You know that feeling when the holidays start creeping up — and part of you is excited, but the other part just feels tired already? Between the sugar, the stress, the events, and the germs, this season can feel like everything is working against your health. In this episode, we’re kicking off the Flu Season Survival series with a look at why moms get sick so easily this time of year — and how to change that. You’ll learn about two powerful loops that quietly drain your energy and immunity: 🍪 The Stress–Sugar Cycle — when busy schedules, late nights, and “just one more cookie” become your daily rhythm. 🧠 The Brain–Gut Cycle — what’s happening inside your body when stress slows digestion, sugar feeds the “bad guys,” and your gut tells your brain to crave even more. These cycles feed each other and keep you stuck — tired, moody, and more vulnerable to every bug that comes around. But the good news? You can break the loop. I’ll show you the roadmap for staying healthy this season — how to calm inflammation, lower stress, set healthy sugar boundaries, rebuild your gut, and strengthen your immune system naturally.

Permission to Be a Crunchy Mom: Celebrate Your Journey, Ditch the Judgment Being called “crunchy” can either feel like a badge of honor or a heavy burden—but what does it actually mean?
