Guest: Bonnie Gray – Author of Breath, mental health advocate, and someone who knows what it’s like to struggle.
Let’s be real—mental health in Christian spaces can be tricky. The pressure to “have enough faith” or “just give it to God” can sometimes leave us feeling more stuck than supported. Bonnie Gray gets it. She’s been through anxiety, depression, and all the guilt that comes with it, and in this episode, she’s keeping it real about:
✔️ How she moved from survival mode to actually feeling at peace
✔️ Breaking free from shame in Christian spaces when it comes to mental health
✔️ The simple breathing practices that helped her calm her mind (and why they work)
✔️ The power of letting go—aka holy exhaling—when your thoughts won’t stop spiraling
✔️ Why faith & therapy go hand in hand (and how she made peace with both)
If you’ve ever felt like you’re drowning in your own thoughts, this episode is for you.

Welcome back to Confidence & Coffee! ☕✨ Today, my best friend Kristen and I are diving deep into the topic of fasting—what it really means, why it’s important, and how it can be a powerful tool for spiritual, mental, and physical renewal.
In this episode, we’re answering key questions like:
🔹 What is fasting, and why do people do it?
🔹 What’s the difference between a spiritual fast and a worldly fast?
🔹 Why did Jesus fast, and what does the Bible say about it?
🔹 Can you fast from things other than food (hello, social media detox)?
🔹 How does fasting help with clarity, mental health, and discipline?
Kristen and I get real and practical about how fasting has impacted our own lives—from hearing God more clearly to making tough but necessary decisions. Plus, we break down common misconceptions (hint: fasting isn’t about starving yourself or making it a trend).
🔥 If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or searching for direction, this episode is for YOU.

As a child, Peter ran away from an abusive home and was helped by the kindness of strangers. As an adult he found himself in a position of being able to help foster children, so he began taking children into his home years ago to give back what was so freely given to him. It's his mission to give back as much as he can to the vulnerable among us. That's what drives Now I Am Known: to bring a message of hope to the hopeless, the same message he needed so badly to hear as a child. That is why we will be partnering with foster care agencies to give away a plush puppy with the message "Now I Am Known, Seen, and Heard" to at-risk children across the country.
What we covered today:
• Peter's story of redemption from being a street Kid
•Why foster care and in what ways you can support it?
• There is hope in Jesus and he uses people to show us
• How can you help Peter continue with his mission

January Donovan – Co-Founder of The Woman School
Meet January Donovan, an inspirational, disciplined woman who believes in women’s dreams. She has journeyed from a traumatic childhood and a turbulent teenage life to becoming a successful businesswoman – founder of ‘The Woman School’, and a happy wife and mother of 8 children.January Donovan is a self-worth strategist, best-selling author, and founder of The Woman School. 20+ years of experience training women. She founded The Woman School to fight the injustice against women’s self-worth. The company went from 0 to 2 million in 2 years, growing 1000%. She believes it is time for our world to recognize the value of the whole woman and not just what the culture dictates makes her valuable. She is more than her body or her achievements, she was designed to be complete.
Women today doubt if they are good enough. We battle feeling like a failure when in reality, the world has failed to prepare us. We can no longer afford to hand over a generation of women who doubt their worth, it is time women know who they are. We have a duty to equip women with practical skills and guide them through designing who they are for the world. We are in the business of integrating the whole woman.
January took her passion into training women to build a business rebuilding women’s worth. This bold vision took The Woman School from 0 - 30+ countries in under 2 years. There is a hunger for this deep work. As a wife and mother of 8 children, she is fierce about integrating business and motherhood. Our professional dreams cannot be apart from our personal dreams, we have to integrate them if we want to be fulfilled. We need the right skills and strategies, and that is exactly what we train women in The Woman School. Our vision is to rebuild culture, one woman’s worth at a time and we are doing it.
What we covered today:
•Why do women struggle so much to feel confident?
•What is the woman's school and who is it for?
• How can we as women truly follow our dreams
• How to change your mindset as a woman and walk fully feeling good and confident in God's plan for your life.

Purpose in the Pain
Why me? Why this? Why now? The trials and suffering we experience are not meaningless – there is a purpose in pain. Remind yourself today of this promise: God is always with you and will never leave you. No matter what you are facing. NEVER is a mighty word. There are no ifs, and, or buts about the word NEVER. God will NEVER abandon you. This doesn't mean you won't endure trials. However, it is His promise to ALWAYS be with you. We can't run, we can't hide, He is ALWAYS with us.
God’s Refining Fire
Do you ever feel you’re being tested? Have you ever thought about how much more can I take? How can you hang onto hope when the heat of the trial you’re going through has been turned up another notch? See how God uses the trials in your life to change your character, purify your heart, and beautifully transform turbulent times of suffering into a showcase of His faithfulness.
Facing the agony of the cross, Jesus was in great physical, mental and spiritual distress. He even came to the point where He questioned the Father three times; asking if there might be another way to redeem us, but there was none. Then, Jesus faced the last, most painful trip to the crucible.
The crucible of God’s refining fire, not out of weakness and defeat but out of strength and faith. Faith in the Father who loved Him. Jesus was able to trust the Father’s trial because He trusted the Father’s heart. His heart of love and compassion. He trusted the Father’s wisdom and understanding You too can trust the Father’s heart of love and compassion. You can trust His wisdom and knowledge. You can stand firm in the truth of Proverbs 3 verses 5 and 6, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him and He will make your paths straight.”
“He has made everything beautiful in its time.”
Today we Cover:
•Why does God allow our pain?
• How to shift your perspective of seeing Pain as good.
• Painful seasons of life and how to heal from them in a healthy place
•How God takes our pain as fire and uses it for Good

EksAyn says; I don’t have a Ph.D. in any subject.
I am not a professional counselor.
I don’t have decades of counseling families or helping marriages.
But there is at least one thing, that happened long ago, that set me on a journey that now compels me to take the time to share with you:
As an eight-year-old boy, I watched my mom die.
I know what life was like before and after she died.
I know what she did decades ago that influences me today.
And because of that, I have learned that what you do in your family will last longer and have far more influence than you can imagine.

Being a mom is hard but being a mom without a passion is even harder. There can be a thousand excuses not to make a move, but all you need is one reason to start. So, when is the right time to start?
Brittany Fuisz (fuse) grew up on the beaches of Malibu, eating local produce and appreciating at a very young age that food is fuel. After graduating Georgetown University and Le Cordon Bleu, Brittany trained at the three Michelin starred Le Bernardin and The Food Network in New York, where she studied the finest techniques in the culinary world.
While trying to get pregnant, Brittany was struggling to conceive and visited a fertility doctor who recommended the auto-immune protocol, with which she experienced great results, e.g. more energy, reduced inflammation, improved focus, and strength. She eliminated dairy, nuts, gluten and soy from her diet and was searching for a milk alternative, when the idea hit her: “What if I make milk from flaxseed?” Not only was the flax milk allergen-free, but had a fantastic texture due to the fact that flax is a natural emulsifier. Malibu Mylk was born!
Brittany wanted to share with the world this incredible product that helped her to feel her absolute best, and successfully launched Malibu Mylk in grocery stores in the LA area in 2019.

A British native and American transplant, Danvers Simmons is the host of the inter-generational podcast, Mothers & Daughters Unfiltered. After an accomplished career as a Senior Vice President at Saatchi & Saatchi advertising and then Omnicom Media Group in London, New York, and L.A., Danvers Simmons founded the woman’s empowerment initiative Own it Feel it Live it® — a simple tool to help women connect and balance mind, body, and spirit for total wellbeing.
Diane Danvers Simmons was 16 years old when her 60-year-old mother walked out on her and her father and moved in next door with three hot college guys. It inspired her memoir, My Mother Next Door.
“Each one of us has a story, which begins with our mother, and everyone’s story has parts that are messy, painful, unexpected, beautiful, and comical,” says Danvers Simmons. “My mum was a headstrong, independent woman who was dying in her suburban life just as the feminist movement began during the revolutionary 1970s, and she was leading the way. I was growing up in a time of opposites, dark and light, pessimism and optimism, war and peace, and surviving with the help of my friends. Through this journey, I not only placed my fifty-something self into my sixteen-year-old self, but I also saw it all through a new lens, as the mother of my own blended American family: a teenage daughter and son from my own womb, and an older stepdaughter and son, courtesy of my husband’s first wife’s womb.”

What a show this is. I am so excited to have the amazing Cody Byrns with us to talk about his personal journey, spreading the word of God, and his love for juggling. We also discuss his new book, Scar Release: Breaking Free of Yesterday's Troubles which comes out this month!
I hope you’ll walk away from this episode feeling encouraged and inspired to live your most EPIC life!
Cody Byrns is a best-selling author and coach with over 16 years of professional experience. Cody’s life underwent a major shift in 2013 after a horrific traffic accident left his body burned and scarred. After years of countless surgeries, and innumerable physical and emotional hurdles, Cody has since founded his own nonprofit Burn Foundation and is on a mission to spread his story of inspiration, hope, and recovery to everyone he meets.
Cody Byrns is an internationally recognized speaker and a number one best-selling author. In May of 2013, Cody’s life was drastically changed due to a traumatic car accident. As a result, he was considered dead until first responders saw his hand move. He received many injuries that day, including severe burns to almost 40% of his body. After years of countless surgeries and rehabilitation, Cody has chosen to not allow his scars to keep him bound in bitterness and defeat. Instead, he uses his story to uplift others.
In addition to his speaking career, in 2016, Cody founded his own non-profit burns foundation that has been able to help multiple survivors recover. To learn more about this foundation please visit

For almost any long-term career, we prepare and take years to study the subjects so we can learn all about our upcoming career and the lifestyle that goes along with it.
Motherhood is a sacred and special time in a woman's life, but our preparation for it has been undervalued and brushed to one side in favor of focusing on just keeping our heads above the water. We may take a class and perhaps read a couple of books but we really don’t prepare for all the things that motherhood brings. We mostly focus on our new little bundle of joy that will be arriving soon.
In today's episode of Confidence and Coffee, (Same great show, just with a different name!) I am joined by my friend Jessica Lorion to talk about motherhood, autoimmune disease, and finding clarity through purpose.
As an auto-immune disease fighter, Jessica's motherhood journey has been postponed.
While she navigates her health journey, she has decided to learn all about motherhood before she actually is a mother. As a Mama in Training herself, she decided to take that idea and support other Mamas in Training on their journey in and through motherhood. Listen in and learn all about how to best prepare for pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond.
Living in NYC and originally from MA, Jessica is always looking for ways to gather people together, connect and create. She is an American TV/Film and Theatre actor and has been with her husband for 13 years.
When she's not hosting the podcast or acting, you can probably find her at the gym or at a local coffee shop. She has found her passion in serving others and storytelling.

We expect a lot of ourselves, our children and our spouses. Unfortunately, our expectations are often unrealistic, which can cause a lot of stress and frustration—so it’s important to manage them well.
In today's episode of Motherhood Unfiltered, I take a deep dive on managing our expectations of our kids and spouses and how we need to turn to prayer to help us during times of frustration.

We’ve all been there, our sweet little baby that we adore, does something that infuriates us so much that we question our own life choices. We love our babies and would never do anything to hurt them but they can cause rage in us that we’ve never experienced before motherhood arrived.
So what is exactly “Mom Rage”? Well, It’s a term for the unrestrained anger many women experience during pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond.
In today's episode of Motherhood Unfiltered, I'm sitting down with my friend Jessie Ereddia who is a life coach that helps moms manage their rage and overcome it. Jessie shares tips and tools to help mothers go from less angry to more patients and empowered. We also have an honest and real conversation about the role shame plays in our lives and how psychology can be biblical.

In today's crazy modern world, we want it all. We want to be intentional for our families, be the best moms we can be, and run a business? We should be able to have it, but is it even a realistic goal? Achieving a perfect work-life balance would assume that it is a 50/50, completely equal type of relationship.
Doing so will result in our goals being achieved, or families completely happy, and we have no mom guilt, right? The reality is that no matter what your schedule looks like, it can't be perfect all the time. Somewhere along the line sacrifices will need to be made. Sometimes it's the kids or your spouse, sometimes it is work-related, sometimes it's just time for you! The best balance is different for everyone.
In today's episode of Motherhood Unfiltered, I'm chatting with my good friend and mentor Beth Olson, and how she runs her business while being a busy wife and mother. We also take a deep dive into balancing it all and if that is even possible! Beth Olson, wife, mom of 4 (3 boys then a girl just like you have) business coach helping people bust through obstacles and set their lives up the way so they can spend their time doing what matters most to THEM

The term " narcissist" is such a buzzword right now. You hear it everywhere in regular conversation as well as in so many social media memes, videos, and posts. The term used to be only reserved for an actual diagnosis from a doctor or licensed mental health professional.
The unfortunate part of this is that so many people are being mislabeled by parents, family, strangers on the internet when they aren't narcissists at all, just showing narcissistic behaviors and being human. A True narcissist has a legitimate personality disorder. The issue is however, they don't seek treatment for any type of mental health issues.
In today's episode of Motherhood Unfiltered, I'm taking a deep dive into Narcissism, what the behaviors look like, and the symptoms of a true narcissist. I'll also examine what the Bible says about it as well.

No matter your size, shape, or features, every woman has natural beauty. Unfortunately, many of the standards that society and social media have brought about are a type of epidemic on its own: We are all beautiful in our own way but most of us like the confidence to know it.
On this episode of Motherhood Unfiltered, I sit down with Dr. Lynn Nieman, M.D. of Blossom Aesthetic and together we take a deep dive on self-confidence, enhancing our natural beauty, and the stigmas of using Botox.
Lynn Nieman, MD, is a Board Certified anesthesiologist who has received extensive training through the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine (A4M) in a fellowship for Aesthetic Medicine. She has had the good fortune to train under Sharon McQuillan, MD, President of the New You Medical Training institute as well as advanced training from Allergan and MedAesthetic. Dr. Nieman attended the Ohio State University College of Medicine and completed her residency at the University of Texas Health Science center in San Antonio.
Dr. Nieman has been in Winchester, VA for six years. She is married to Chris and has three children. When she’s not busy at work, you can find her cheering on her boys at soccer, enjoying her daughter’s performances, or riding her horse, Casey Jones.

Hey Sister! I am so excited about today's episode, as I've been waiting so long to share it. For most women, having a baby is a wonderful and joyful time. For some, it can be a very stressful, anxious time. It can also produce something that one might not expect – depression. Many women will experience “baby blues” following childbirth that usually last a few days up to 6 weeks.
Sometimes, a more severe form occurs called Postpartum depression – symptoms include depressed mood, sleep issues, crying all the time, feelings of worthlessness, intrusive thoughts, plus several other symptoms. This period also increases the risk of suicide or suicide ideation.
On this episode of Motherhood Unfiltered, I talk with Amy Koppelman, author, and director of the upcoming movie, Mouthful of Air. Amy and I share our individual journey of experiencing postpartum depression as well as, imposter syndrome, and not being afraid to ask for help. We also discuss her novel, A Mouthful of Air which inspired this powerful movie, which hits theatres on October 29th! (You need to see this movie)
Amy Koppelman is the author of three critically acclaimed novels: A Mouthful of Air, I Smile Back, and Hesitation Wounds, a 2016 Independent Publisher Book Award winner. She produced and co-adapted the film adaptation of I Smile Back, starring Sarah Silverman, who received a SAG award nomination for the role.
The film premiered at the Sundance, Toronto, and Deauville film festivals. Her latest film, A Mouthful of Air, is her first undertaking as a screenwriter, director, producer, and illustrator. Amy lives in New York City with her family. She is an outspoken advocate for women’s mental health.
Listen in as we discuss: Amy's passion for storytelling and what inspired her to write the book 18 years ago? The reasons why more people don't talk about Postpartum Depression and why we need to get the help we need, share with others, and don't be afraid to take medication to help ourselves and ultimately, our family.
We want to keep our kids safe and protected but we put some of the pressure upon ourselves. Resources Postpartum Support International Find Local Support

Hey sister!
According to Webster's dictionary, the definition of obedience is “the act or instance of obeying; the quality or state of being obedient.” Additionally, the definition of obedient is “submissive to the restraint or command of authority: willing to obey.”
When we look at Christian obedience, it is merely the act of obeying the commands of God. If you have faith in God and believe Christianity is the truth, obedience is the practice of living by faith, obeying the teachings of the Bible
I'm so excited about today's episode. The amazing and brilliant Jenny Randle chats with me about obedience to God, living in our calling and we talk about her new book. Jenny Randle went from a career in the heart of Hollywood to a faith-based author, national speaker, and chart-topping podcaster. Her search for meaning in the everyday moments of life has led her to write her newest book Dream Come True, where Jenny encourages readers to dream on for the glory of God and the good of others.

Everyone loves to hear a good old-fashioned testimony about being saved right?! Well, I've got a powerful one for you today!
Joining me on the show today is my friend Jenasa Staples and she is sharing her story with us. She is a mom, blogger, podcaster, and newly married!! Jenasa came from the new age (tarot cards, reiki, runes), and was very involved in this new age world where a lot of her focus was on sexuality and trying to find fulfillment in sexuality. Now, she is working on building her Christian blog and podcast business. Additionally, She's currently working on a faith-based “how to start a blog” ebook.
Jenasa is passionate about sharing her testimony because she believes the New Age movement has become a huge thing in the world. She believes that so many people who are involved in the New Age movement are simply looking for answers and they are continuously trying new things to find fulfillment.
Listen in as we also discuss :

Joshua 1:9 "Be strong and courageous; do not be frightened and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go."
I'm so excited about today's show. I'm with my good friend (and podcast editor) the inspirational Tammy Munson, and our conversation is so good! I know that you will absolutely love her as much as I do.
I wanted to bring her on the show so we could talk about a topic that we've never talked about on Motherhood Unfiltered: Parenting a special needs child.
Tammy is a proud mama of 2 adult daughters and wife to my hubby of 23+ years. She’s a podcast editor, producer, and coach, as well as a special needs advocate. She loves Chick-Fil-A like it is her job. Her firstborn, Kiersten, was born with special needs and currently living her best life while dealing with her brain injury.
Tammy believes everyone has a story to share, and she is obsessed with helping women share their stories, find their own voice, and create fantastic content. However, today Tammy is sharing her own story of walking alongside her daughter as they navigated Kiersten's needs and God working miracles every step of the way.

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” ( Jeremiah 29:11)
I'm so excited and honored by my special guest, Keewani Vallejo- Cook, aka Kiwi. She is an alumnus of Compassion International's program in the Philippines, and She is a compelling speaker who loves to inspire young people and adults to grow in their relationships with the Lord. She speaks passionately about the power of prayer, faith without limits, discovering God’s will, obedience to God, and the compassion of Jesus.
With a genuine heart for people and a strong desire to provide help and healing, Keewani Vallejo Cook thrives in her work as a physical therapist. She also travels around the states and Canada to give her testimony. Born into abject poverty in the Philippines, Keewani’s childhood was difficult and heartbreaking. Her family frequently moved due to their inability to pay rent, and there was rarely enough food to go around. They lost family members to treatable medical conditions because they could not afford healthcare when needed. Life was hard, and she couldn’t imagine a way out of the hopelessness. When she was 7 years old, Keewani was invited to participate in Compassion's child development program at a local church.
Through the love, support, encouragement, and care she received from her sponsors and program staff, her life began to change drastically. Hope grew in her heart as she experienced God’s great love and learned that He had a plan for her life and future. Being sponsored through Compassion made it possible for Keewani to receive an education and a university degree, which released her from the poverty she grew up in. Her family recently launched a children's ministry in their own backyard directly impacting young people in their community and helping to spread the word of God.
Keewani and her husband, Terry, live in Dallas, Texas. So I aim to find new sponsors for at least 30 children with just THIS EPISODE with the Motherhood Unfiltered Community!
I've made it really simple for you with 2 options!
The first is that even as you are listening, you can open up a text and send the word SUMMER to 83393. You are going to get a text back with a picture of a child and a link. Click that link and follow the steps to start sponsoring. It’s super simple. The second option is also easy. If you go to compassion.com/SummerCampAshley can choose exactly which boy or girl you want to sponsor.

I'm doing something a little different - when has that stopped me before?!
Today is a bonus episode where I take a deeper dive into my reasons for wanting to partner with Compassion Internation and how the local church helped me become the woman you see today! Compassion International works with more than 2 million children in 25 countries. Compassion pairs each child with one sponsor who can encourage and support a child’s growth – and also connects each child with loving, caring adults in their own community to mentor and guide them. Compassion’s goal is simple – to release children from poverty in Jesus’ name. Being released from poverty means moving from “not having enough” to “having enough to survive and thrive.”
So I have a goal of finding new sponsors for at least 10 children with the Motherhood Unfiltered Community!
I've made it really simple for you. You have two options. The first is that even as you are listening, you can open up a text and send the word SUMMER to 83393.

The second option is also easy. If you go to compassion.com/SummerCampAshley can choose exactly which boy or girl you want to sponsor.
Compassion is an organization that takes child protection seriously. Sponsors won’t be given a child’s address but pass letters both ways, and letters can be written online. I chose to partner with Compassion because I trust the way they work.
When I invest $38 every month, I know that 80% of that is being spent specifically for the development of the little boy we sponsor. Compassion doesn’t give money directly to children, because they know that just handing out money isn’t going to make a long-term impact.
But spending that money wisely for nutrition and healthcare and education – teaching boys and girls to grow up and escape poverty – makes a huge difference. The best part?
Compassion does it all through local churches around the world.
So, will you help me end poverty for the children in the Philippines?

Hey friends, I'm am so excited about today's episode.
As I have mentioned before, I have partnered with Compassion International on a VERY SPECIAL project!
On the episode today, I'm joined by the fabulous Mary R. Snyder, and we are going to tell you all about it!!
Mary R. Snyder has been with Compassion for over 6 years and loves what she gets to do. She says "the calling of my heart is to help speakers get their message out to the world." She now gets to do that by being at Compassion – She's worked in the Christian events industry for the past 20+years. She has been a speaker, an event producer, a tour producer, and now she gets the awesome job of partnering with influencers and podcasters to get kids sponsored – to give a child hope. Compassion works with more than 2 million children in 25 countries. Compassion pairs each child with one sponsor who can encourage and support a child’s growth – and also connects each child with loving, caring adults in their own community to mentor and guide them.

There's no such thing as perfection in motherhood.
There's no perfect mother, just like no perfect child or perfect husband or perfect family or a perfect marriage. Society is filled with so mixed messages that make moms feel inadequate — no matter what we do.
This is especially true in the Instagram-perfect and highly curated digital world. We are constantly bombarded with images that evoke "perfection" in all areas of our lives. This is especially true of those who grew up in broken homes with mental health, addiction, and abuse issues.
In today's episode, Ashley and her featured guest, Libby Ward, discuss their similar experiences growing up in a broken home filled with mental health issues, tried to be the perfect mom, and their shared love of TikTok.
Libby Ward is a wife of 11 years and mom of 2 kids, ages 4 and 6, and lives in Ontario, Canada. She is an EA (educational assistant, but you call them paraprofessionals) and is going back to school to become a teacher. She has always had a desire to impact those around her in a positive way. She has always volunteered extensively and shared her experience with those around her in hopes to inspire. She grew up in poverty and an unstable environment, so she always tries to understand those around her from multiple perspectives.
Her mission in life is to love others and encourage them to be their best selves while always giving themselves grace for their imperfections. Listen in as we discuss:
Libby and Ashley discuss their experiences in the first steps of their motherhood journey the transition from perfect mom to "that's good enough" mom and finding time for self-care.
How they and their families have adjusted to their TikTok fame with their fame because of it

Your self-worth is a function of how much we value ourselves. So many moms are unaware of their self-worth and have never stopped considering if they believe they deserve what they desire to create or accomplish in their lives. Our self-worth can be rooted in our own perceptions of ourselves, often attributed to present or past traumas, anxiety, or other perceptions we create. However, they should be rooted in our God-given identity, knowing and embracing who He says we are.
In today's episode, my special guest Hillary Ramos and I discuss discovering your worth despite anxiety, realizing our true identity, and of course, we had to talk about TikTok!
Hillary talks to us about the pandemic and how it was honestly the turning point in her whole story. She shares for her because pre-COVID, She is a wife and mom extremely burnt out to the max. Her husband was constantly traveling, she was working five days a week, and their son was in daycare more than he was at home. So when everything came to this abrupt halt due to the pandemic, and all three of us were home, we suddenly realized how much simplification we needed to do.
Hillary Ramos is a wife, a mom (a new stay-at-home mom, actually), a former pediatric physical therapist, and a brand new writer and creator. She has been married to my husband, Josh, for 5 years, and they have one 3-year-old little boy named Liam.
Fun fact: she and her husband went to high school together (we graduated a year apart), but they did not meet until college! They met at a summer job entirely randomly, and the rest is history.

Are you a loved one or perhaps know of a friend currently walking through anxiety, depression, or both? So many times, Christians struggle to face mental illness, as we may feel it's somehow at odds with our faith. Faith, it seems, doesn't shield us from the everyday struggles of walking through a difficult season concerning our mental health.
But whatever kind of anxiety or depression someone is facing, one thing's for sure: they're not the only ones. This couldn't be further from the truth.
Today, I'm joined by my sister in Christ, Andrea Nyberg, as we share our own struggles with anxiety, depression, and accepting help through therapy and/or taking medication.
Andrea M Nyberg is a wife and mom passionate about helping you reframe your faith, motherhood, and mental health with a both/and mindset. As a Christian who's struggled through the shame and confusion around "having the power of the Holy Spirit" yet feeling powerless against the disorders of anxiety and depression, Andrea offers solidarity that you are not alone if you're struggling. It's ok to seek medical help as you also look to God for hope and healing.

Helping women learn about the causes and symptoms of chronic pelvic pain is one of the main goals of Pelvic Pain Awareness Month in May. The International Pelvic Pain Society, or IPPS, established this awareness month in 2017 to bring attention to a severe problem that many women suffer from but are hesitant to discuss.
That's why I brought my new friend Dawn Joseph on the show for today's episode.
Dawn is a Kinesiologist and Core Specialist. (Kinesiologists specialize in the analysis of human body movement.) Dawn loves to kiteboard, enjoys paddle-boarding, mountain biking, and will never pass up a chai latte. She absolutely loves connecting with new people and strives to empower those around her (secretly dreaming of being a superhero). She has 2 rockstar daughters and lives in wine and lake country, Kelowna, British Columbia.
Dawn's primary focus is stability. She believes that if you gain control of your deep core muscles, you will be more stable (and often aligned) above and below the pelvis. A lot of the work she does gets rid of back, hip, and neck pain, etc. She does a lot of re-patterning, which teaches people which muscles should be firing and which muscles should not be firing. (sometimes, it really is about RELAXING more than strengthening).
Dawn's mission is to help you properly strengthen your core to achieve your performance, pain relief, and health goals through proper core strengthening that creates stability and mobility.
We are moms - we don't need more pain! And LESS is often the answer anyway.
As women, we often put everyone else first and accept dysfunction in our own bodies...and as I believe, we were made to thrive.

Hey there Mama!
Today's episode is one all by myself, and I'm so excited about this episode. I've wanted to do one on this topic for some time. Did you know your child had a love language? Different kids crave different kinds of attention and affection. We'll help you figure out which means the most to your child so they can feel genuinely adored based on the framework developed by Dr. Gary Chapman.
After learning about the five different love languages, I realized that the verbal reassurances I'd been giving Rylan didn't mean nearly as much to him as hugs, cuddles, and other hands-on displays of affection. Now when he acts like he's running on an empty love tank, I scoop him up in my arms or shove his 65-pound, 4-foot frame into my arms, and his mood flips as if I've hit a switch. However, I still haven't stopped saying, "I love you." I have learned that those cuddles don't work for Preston. His love language is words of affirmation, which means his discipline can be a conversation rather than my older son, who loves gifts and quality of time. All different personalities represent all other needs and all different types of discipline.
We have to truly understand our little nuggets to be able to strive with them. I mean, come on, mamas, I know for me when I feel loved that I am certainly on my best behavior, happy and ready to serve who I can. Our children have those exact needs, if not more!

We've all said it at one point or another, "I'm so busy!" right? We fill our days with our kids' activities, tasks around the house, multiple other interests and can never seem to find time to spend in exclusively in God's word. We need to get away from this "I am so busy doing all the things" type culture that we don't truly get into God's word for ourselves.
In this episode, my friend Amber Daniel and I take a deep dive into exactly that and how to carve out the time to spend in God's word. Amber has been married to Andrew for 11 years, has four kids (ages eight and under), and lives on a farm in Greensboro, NC. Amber was a middle school teacher, but her husband's job moved them around quite a bit.
Now, she can be found homeschooling and wrangling her kiddos, feeding the animals. Also, she works as a part-time social media manager for a non-profit and loves encouraging women in God's word in all of the spaces in between. Amber is passionate about empowering women to study the Bible for themselves.
She has a ministry called Equipping Arrows as a way to do just that. She has created resources, teachings to equip women with practical tools to dig deep into God's Word. She loves a good "bible study" or scripture-based book just as much as the rest of them, but she firmly believes that there is so much encouragement, wisdom, and knowledge about God's love to be found in the pages of the Bible. We also discuss:
Amber gives us practical tools on how to study the Bible during the busy seasons of life. Sometimes we put pressure on ourselves and others by glorifying the things that don't really matter. Amber explains the difference between studying and reading the Bible.

Hey Friends!
Joining me on the show today is the fabulous and amazing Andrea Fortenberry, a writer, speaker, and Bible teacher. She is the host of The Perfectionist’s Guide to Mothering, a podcast that equips moms to find freedom from perfectionism and show up for the life God has for them.
She also shares some practical strategies that we can implement right now to help us break free from the draining and sneaky cycles of guilt. Andrea shares her own personal journey of letting go of perfection and control within her family, and seeing a Christian-based counselor helped her in that journey. She also shares some practical strategies that we can implement right now to help us break free from perfectionism.
We also talk about: how unpacking your past can lead to discovering the reasons for your walls and the way to break them down. The idea of trying to control everything in our lives, but we know that God controls it all.
To squash this idea of perfectionism in motherhood, we need to remember to rely on God. He wants us to depend on Him. Resources Visit her website at AndreaFortenberry.com

Today's episode is a short one but an essential one. No special guest today as I'm taking on a topic that is so important to me... Mom-Shaming.
These days with social media and online platforms, people are more vocal than ever about their opinions, thoughts, and "cancel culture." So many mothers face mom-shaming online and in-person from strangers and well-meaning friends and family. Sometimes, we even do it to ourselves. Well, I say let's cancel mom-shaming. We've all been through it at one time or another. Life as a mom is hard enough as it is under normal circumstances. Let's not even talk about how difficult it is with online learning, COVID rules, quarantining and a global pandemic.
If you've ever felt like a victim of mom-shaming, I want you to know that you are enough. You are doing your very best during a difficult season, and I see that. We are struggling and doing our very best.

Jesus talks about children numerous times in the bible.
Psalm 127:3-5 says; "Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one's youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate."
When life gets busy and overwhelming. When it takes everything we have to just finish dinner because we are worn out how do we still lead our children to Jesus?
It sounds like such a daunting task doesn't it!? Figuring out how God could possibly use our children who still forget to brush their teeth every day. I get it!
But if I told you seeing Jesus in our children is seeing gifts in their everyday life. We are going to be talking to my friend Lauren about her powerful story of motherhood and how she lifts her kids to Jesus and how God is using her family to be a light!

We are hearing from my friend Jessica Bearden! A MA< LPC-I A mother of twins and happy wife Jessica is going to talk to us about letters or no letters behind your name DO NOT DEFINE YOU!
She is going to talk to us about her identity not depending on that and that our calling would be just as significant with or without the degrees and license and such. We can get caught in comparisons and it’s toxic and a sign that we are really not trusting God with where He has us and who He puts in our life. Especially as a mother. My kids don’t care if I’m the president of the United States haha! They just need ME in my role as a mother
She will also be sharing her story of also just having twins. LOL pulled in two directions is always fun ;) and being a twin mom comes with an interesting set of fears. Not wanting one twin to be behind the other .. what if one dies and leaves the other alone ... sad I didn’t get to enjoy them as newborns because of NICU and exhaustion from feeding two around the clock ... trusting the lord with the high risk of carrying twins ... and the Joys of watching the interaction and develop together.

If you are tempted to look at the world and want to run wait! Our thinking and our journey are in the hands of our Lord. Feel, hurt, and see what's going on! Own your feelings but keep going because God is still on the throne.
One of my favorite moments and a time of Jesus Tiffany and I talk about is Matthew 26:36-44
Jesus Prays in Gethsemane
Then Jesus went with them to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to his disciples, “Sit here, while I go over there and pray.” And taking with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be sorrowful and troubled. Then he said to them, “My soul is very sorrowful, even to death; remain here, and watch with me.” And going a little farther he fell on his face and prayed, saying, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will.” And he came to the disciples and found them sleeping. And he said to Peter, “So, could you not watch with me one hour? Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” Again, for the second time, he went away and prayed, “My Father, if this cannot pass unless I drink it, your will be done.” And again he came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy. So, leaving them again, he went away and prayed for the third time, saying the same words again.
Jesus wanted to burden taken away while still saying if it's your will. Jesus felt the burden of his destiny but still got back up to honor the will and obedience of Christ. It's okay not to feel okay but it's not okay to stay there.
