Raising Wild

In episode in 21, Brittany talks about the difficulty of mothering and addresses the questions "Am I making an impact? Does what I'm doing matter?" It's easy to be strayed away from the beautiful reality of what mothering is because we are stuck within the trenches most days. She encourages moms to keep pushing forward because we are in the season of moving mountains and some day we will look back and we will be in awe of all that we have moved. 

In episode 20, Brittany talks about motherhood being the next billion dollar industry and the way it is creating this idealistic image of what motherhood should look like. She talks about the need for self care, but within this world of manicured picture perfect motherhood in tiny little color coordinated squares, it can create this unattainable idea of what self care looks like.  Brittany encourages mothers to see that self care is far more than the #selfcare that we see on instagram. She talks about changing the idealistic picture of self care and how we can start approaching it with what it truly is—a time of healing and care for ourselves in the midst of caring for others.   Through this podcast she hopes that we can begin to change the conversation surrounding self care and help mothers heal.

In episode 19, Brittany talks about the phrase "terrible twos and terrific threes" and jokes about when we can expect the terrific part to kick in. She talks about her experience with her oldest and the behavioral transition that he's going through from 2 to 3. Brittany breaks down why "terrible twos" happen, how we can help them through the transition, and she encourages parents to keep loving them through these difficult moments. 

In Episode 18, Brittany shares her experience with growing up in a broken home and how her parents divorce helped her see that the whole within her heart was so much more than circumstances--it was the inherent brokenness that has left us all longing to be healed. She discusses how we can find healing through our brokenness and some guidelines that can encourage us down a path of healthy marriage. She challenges listeners to let this be a year of healing.

In episode 16, Brittany talks with Lena from @holisticwifehappylife about her story and how she experienced first hand the healing power of food for her family. Lena explains how that experience lead her to finding her purpose as a registered holistic nutritionist. Lena shares how food can be a powerful source of healing and how as a society we are used to putting bandaids over health issues instead of truly working towards finding the root cause. She encourages listeners that it is possible to change your health through small changes over time. We live in a society that makes us believe that healthy nourishing foods are only for the wealthy, but the truth is that you can make healthy nourishing meals on any budget. Lena shares six great tips on how to shop for good quality foods on a budget. Visit Lena at www.holisticwifehappylife.com or on instagram @holisticwifehappylife 521575
