The powerful truth that movement—in both body and soul—is often the medicine anxiety longs for. Whether it’s a brisk walk or a brave step toward the unknown, action gives our minds and hearts a place to land when fear takes over. Drawing from neuroscience, personal stories, and soul-deep reflection, this episode is an invitation to get unstuck—not by waiting for the anxiety to leave, but by moving through it anyway. Because sometimes the most healing thing we can do is…anything.

In today’s episode, we’re diving into the tender, often unspoken space between motherhood and becoming — that quiet nudge inside you that whispers, “There’s still more for me.” Inspired by powerful words from one of my favorite books, this conversation is for the new mama who feels the ache for change, the longing for something new, and the quiet hope that it’s not too late to follow her dreams.

We talk about what it means to stop waiting for the fear to go away and instead begin moving forward with it. Because sometimes the only way to honor the life you want is to carry your grief, doubt, and uncertainty with you — not as baggage, but as companions for your transformation. This episode is about recognizing that becoming a mother doesn’t mean the end of your dreams. You are still allowed to want things. You are still allowed to grow. And you are still allowed to become her.

You don’t need a big reveal or a ten-step plan to get started. What you need is a softer question and the space to hear your own voice again. Together, we’ll explore what it means to listen for that voice, to believe in the future you crave, and to take small but powerful steps toward it. Because the truth is, practice doesn’t make perfect — it makes power. And the patterns of the life you want begin with the choices you make today.

This isn’t a call to hustle. It’s an invitation to awaken. You haven’t missed your moment — it’s been waiting for you all along.

Welcome to another cozy chat on The Waves of Joy— where we keep it real, raw, and a little bit glam. In this episode, we're diving into the beautifully chaotic fourth trimester. We’re talking baby blues (and knowing when it’s more), the supplements that might help, and yes — even a little Botox self-care without the mom guilt.

We cover the hot-button topic of co-sleeping vs. the Snoo, and how this mama is blending the two to survive sleep deprivation. Plus: feeding on demand, bottle feeding one meal a day, and the never-ending question — “Is she gaining enough weight?” (Thank you, Hatch scale)

Let’s also get into the nitty gritty: swaddling, burping, tiny razor-sharp fingernails, and whether it’s normal to dread the first postpartum shower.

And because moms deserve comfort too, we’re talking about those mini sanity-savers: daily walks, a little yoga, and the magical neck relief from the Achedaway heated scraper (yes, please).

You’re not alone in the swirl. Let’s laugh, vent, and feel seen together.

It wasn’t the birth story we had planned. It stretched me—physically, emotionally, spiritually—in ways I could have never imagined. But through the discomfort, the surrender, and the stillness, I found something deeper: the quiet whisper that God had a bigger plan all along. This isn’t just a story about birth. It’s about faith. It’s about trusting when you can’t see the end. It’s about how the hardest moments sometimes birth the most beautiful ones. So wherever you are—maybe you're expecting, maybe you're healing, maybe you're just searching—I hope this story reminds you: God is in the details, even when we don’t understand them yet.

“The most powerful medicine is empowering people not to need it.” Today, I’m honored to be joined by a special guest and dear friend as we dive into the world of holistic chiropractic care. We’ll explore what true health really means, discuss raising children without vaccines or antibiotics, and touch on so much more. You won’t want to miss this conversation.

Dr. Mike Pierce is deeply passionate about educating and empowering individuals to achieve their highest potential in health and performance. As a former athlete, he understands the value of functioning at peak levels and has carried that mindset into his chiropractic work.

His journey into chiropractic care began with a powerful personal experience—watching it transform and ultimately save his father’s life. That life-changing event solidified his belief in the MaxLiving philosophy: rather than treating symptoms, true healing begins by identifying and correcting the root cause.

Dr. Mike believes the body is designed to heal and function on its own—what it needs most is the removal of interference. His mission is to help people reduce dependency on medications, prevent illness, and live long, vibrant lives full of purpose and vitality.

Together with his wife, he’s committed to building happy, healthy families in Chandler, Arizona and beyond. Their shared vision is to support patients in creating the life of their dreams—one rooted in wellness, wholeness, and lasting health.

With just three weeks until our baby girl arrives, this episode captures a tender season of transition. I reflect on the sacred time spent during our baby moon, the waves of Braxton Hicks contractions, our intentions of co-sleeping and the emotional conversations that are shaping us as parents. It’s a vulnerable look into the beauty, fear, and hope that come with standing at the edge of a brand new beginning.

Inspired by the wisdom of David Brooks, this episode invites you into a deeply reflective conversation about two very different sets of values: resume virtues and eulogy virtues. Join me as we dive deep into the contrast between success and significance, achievement and character, and how shifting your focus can transform not only your life — but your legacy. Whether you're feeling stuck in the hustle or seeking deeper meaning in your path, this conversation is your invitation to pause, reflect, and realign with what truly matters.

In this special episode, I sit down with my best friend—my fiancé and dad-to-be—as we talk all things fatherhood. From the moment we found out we were expecting to the wild mix of emotions, dreams, and late-night diaper debates, this is an intimate look at the journey we’re walking together.

He opens up about how it feels to prepare for this new chapter, what kind of father he hopes to be, and the unexpected ways this experience is shaping his heart and perspective. It’s raw, real, sometimes funny, and filled with love.

Whether you're expecting, parenting, or just curious about the beautiful chaos of becoming a family—this episode invites you into our world.
