168 | Are Doulas Just for First Time Moms? What My Recent Birth Taught Me

Hey sister, today’s episode is a vulnerable one. I’m sharing my most recent birth experience, one of the hardest seasons I’ve walked through, even as a doula. This pregnancy and birth challenged everything I thought I knew and reminded me how unpredictable labor can be.
 
Episode Highlights:
Why every pregnancy and every birth is completely unique
How a hard pregnancy can change what kind of birth support you need
What a three-day labor taught me about surrender and expectations
Why experience and knowledge don’t replace the need for support
The real role of a doula (and why she doesn’t replace your husband)
How God used this birth to teach me wisdom, rest, and self-care
Encouragement for preparing for birth without fear

167 | Struggling After Loss? The Truth About Miscarriage Symptoms No One Talks About

Hey sister! Today, I'm highlighting miscarriage. It is talked about more than it used to be, but the details often stay hidden. In this episode, I’m sitting with you in the hard places and sharing what I wish more women were told about miscarriage symptoms, emotional fallout, and what your body and heart may experience after loss.
I share parts of my own story, what symptoms can be normal (and what aren’t), how to know when to seek help, and why faith and emotional regulation matter just as much as physical recovery. My prayer is that this episode feels like a soft, safe place to land - full of truth, compassion, and hope.
 
Episode Highlights:
Common miscarriage symptoms and why they’re often confusing
Silent miscarriage and being blindsided by loss
Emotional and spiritual “crashes” after loss
How to regulate your nervous system after trauma
What happens hormonally after miscarriage
Why waiting and healing before trying again matters
When to seek immediate medical care
How Jesus meets us in grief

166 | Sick of TTC with No Answers? The #1 Way to Heal Your Hormones! Guest Interview w/ Justin Hai

Hey sister! I sat down with Justin Hai - founder of Rebalance Health - and we went deep into something that affects every single woman listening: cortisol. We talked about how our always-on world, our phones, notifications, and nonstop information are quietly pushing our bodies into fight-or-flight… and how that impacts everything from sleep to progesterone to fertility.
 
Episode Highlights:
Justin breaks down:
Why cortisol isn’t the enemy, but being stuck in stress mode is
How technology is hijacking our nervous systems
The real reason sleep is so hard these days
Why hormones are made at night (and what happens when we don’t rest)
Simple lifestyle shifts that can completely change your health trajectory
And how to reset after burnout, pregnancy, loss, or long seasons of exhaustion
This episode is part science, part wisdom, part practical reset - and honestly, it's one of my favourites we’ve done.

162 | From Debilitating Cramps to Holding Azariah: A Fertility Framework Testimony

Today I’m welcoming back Angela Warren, one of my very first Fertility Framework clients and a longtime friend of the podcast. When she first shared her story back in episode 92, she was secretly newly pregnant. Today she’s back to tell the rest of her story.
 
Episode Highlights:
Angela shares:
How charting and basal body temperature gave her the first hint she might be pregnant
How she prepared for a natural hospital birth with a supportive OB, and the beautiful, unmedicated delivery of her son, Azariah.
How she developed a severe kidney infection and sepsis 24 hours after birth, and her newborn being flown to a NICU by air ambulance.
Through all of it, God showed Himself faithful, and the meaning of her baby’s name, “helped by God,” became a living testimony. If you’re preparing for pregnancy, birth, or postpartum, Angela’s story will encourage you to prepare wisely and trust God deeply.

160 | 3 Signs That Low Hormones Are Impacting Conception

Hey sister, today, we’re diving into three signs that low hormones could be impacting your ability to conceive. I’m sharing part of my own story: after two healthy boys, we walked through three heartbreaking miscarriages.

Episode Highlights: 
How cervical mucus gives powerful clues about your hormones
What your symptoms are really trying to tell you
How to tell if your ovulation is healthy, and what to do if it’s not
Details about the Fertility Framework sale on this weekend only!

159 | The Progesterone & Miscarriage Link: How to Get the Right Help (Not Just a Prescription)

Hey friend, today’s episode is one I know will hit home for many of you, especially if you’ve walked through miscarriage, or you’re doing everything you can to prevent another one. We’re talking about progesterone - the “keep baby in” hormone, and how it connects to miscarriage. I share what is often missed when it comes to timing tests, and why simply taking progesterone isn’t always the whole answer.
If you’ve ever wondered, “Could low progesterone be part of my story?”, this episode will help you discern what’s really going on and how to move forward with hope and clarity.
