• 58 - Sick of Trying to "Eat Clean" to Improve Health? Try This Health Food Strategy Instead!
    May 22 2025

    Hi Mama,

    If you’re overwhelmed by all the “clean eating” rules and still not feeling your best, this episode is for you. I’m sharing the simple, grounding food strategy I use in my kitchen — one that takes the pressure off and actually supports your energy, digestion, and family wellness.

    Instead of chasing perfection, we’ll talk about how to build meals around real, nourishing staples like potatoes, veggies, and simple proteins — no guilt, no confusion. I’ll walk you through the rhythm I use to take the mental load out of food choices and bring joy (and ease!) back to the table.

    If you’re ready to stop second-guessing every bite or health choice and start feeding your body in a way that actually feels good, this episode will give you a fresh, sustainable starting point. Tune in and breathe a little easier—you’ve got this.

  • 57 - What Your Pediatrician Isn't Telling You About Vaccine Schedules
    May 20 2025

    Hi Mama!

    Have you ever walked into a well-visit with your child and felt like there was a script being followed — but no room for your questions? In today’s episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on something most pediatricians don’t talk about: the vaccine schedule.

    We’re diving into five eye-opening truths that rarely get mentioned in the doctor’s office. You’ll learn where the schedule comes from, why you have so many well-visits in the first place, and what most pediatricians simply aren’t taught in med school.

    Don’t worry — I keep it real, grounded, and judgment-free. This episode isn’t about fear — it’s about clarity. Because when you know better, you can parent with confidence. 💪

    If you’ve ever had that gut feeling that something didn’t sit right, this episode will help you trust your instincts and ask better questions at your next appointment.

    Let’s get curious together.

  • 55 - 3 Reasons Why "Natural" Isn't Always Better
    May 13 2025

    Hi Mama,

    You know those products with earthy packaging, buzzwords like “natural,” and the promise to turn you into a cliff-climbing supermom with one bite? Yeah…not so much.

    In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the word natural — what it actually means (and doesn’t), and how marketing plays tricks on our instincts. This is a no-fear, no-shame zone — we’re just asking smarter questions and learning how to read between the lines.

    So if you’ve ever stood in the grocery aisle wondering whether that “organic, gluten-free, plant-powered” snack is actually worth it… this one’s for you.

    Grab your tea, your curiosity, and maybe your favorite mystery-label snack (just for fun). Let’s dig in. 💬✨

  • 53 - 3 Tips to Cooking Healthy Food Even When You Travel
    May 6 2025

    Hi Mamas,

    Last year, we packed up the fam and headed to the East Coast for a little adventure. I had grand plans of cooking up a storm... until I saw the size of the kitchen. Let’s just say — it was more “snack shack” than “gourmet getaway.” 😅

    But here's the thing: just because you’re traveling (and don’t have your usual kitchen tools) doesn’t mean you’re doomed to a week of cereal and takeout! In this episode, I’m sharing some simple, no-fuss tips to help you on your way to better travel meals.

    Whether you’re in a tiny Airbnb or a hotel room with nothing but a mini fridge and a prayer, you’ve got options. And the best part? You won’t come home feeling like you need a detox from your vacation.

    Try out a few of these ideas on your next trip—I’d love to hear how they work for you! Catch you next time!

  • 52 - The #1 Most Dangerous Vaccine in America
    May 1 2025

    Alright mamas, in today’s episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on one of the most widely accepted (and promoted) seasonal health interventions. Can you guess what it is? 👀

    We’re diving into safety — yep, that loaded word that everyone throws around but few really define. I promised you studies, and you know I always come through! I’m not here to tell you what to do — I’m here to equip you so you can decide for yourself. 💪

    First, we get super clear on what we’re actually trying to prevent. I break down the difference between true influenza and the hundreds of other things that look like the flu but aren’t. We talk testing, tracking, and how the CDC gathers its data.

    We also dig into how effective flu prevention really is… and let’s just say, the numbers might surprise you. 🤯

    Then, we take a little walk down vaccine memory lane — from a program that got shut down fast to the data that keeps piling up. And yes, we touch on ingredients, side effects, and what’s really in that syringe.

    By the end of this one, you’ll be walking away with some really great questions to ask the next time you’re confronted with a medical decision that may not be as harmless as it seems.

    Thanks for tuning in, and I’ll catch you next time for more truth, clarity, and confidence in your health journey. ✨
