I know I have prepared for birth, the hospital and the newborn phase four times now, but sometimes it is hard to remember everything I've learned! It was a good exercise to think back about all the things I've learned in the past to help me with this preparation for our fourth and final family member. We are beyond excited to have him come and also excited not to be pregnant anymore! It can take a lot to prepare and at the same time you can keep it very simple. Hopefully these tips help in your own journey! Tubby Todd Link HERE. Website link HERE.

I first met Jessie while serving a religious mission in Portugal and we have been friends ever since. She has such a unique background and has so much to add to this world. We talk about a wide range of things during this episode including her educational background, how we see women in media and how that affects us, her process of deconstructing heteronormative identity within the LDS church, and some of what she teaches in communications as a PhD student.

Years ago my husband and I listened to a book called "More Than Enough" by Miranda Anderson and it changed our life. This concept has stayed with me and I think about it often. In this episode I share how it influences me on the regular and some thoughts I've had about enjoying our lives while we are living it. You can find the book here.

Faith is an incredible blogger, nutritionist and author. She educates and inspires people to eat more whole, plant-based food. I met her at University and have always looked up to her. She is very passionate in what she does and that comes through in everything she puts out in the world. I love how capable she makes me feel to not only nourish my own body, but also help my kids eat more nourishing foods. You can find her plant-based cooking for Kids cookbook HERE. Her amazing blog is full of free incredible recipes - faithfulplateful.com

Every Mother has such a unique experience and at the same time experiences many similar things as other women. My story includes joy, ache, postpartum depression, medication and finding purpose. I share with the hopes that other mothers who are feeling similarly will know they are not alone and hopefully hear something helpful along the way.

It was so fun to chat with 3 of my 4 siblings about our different experiences - good and bad - with moving often while growing up. If you have moved yourself, or worried about how moving may affect your children, this is a great podcast to listen to!
