Welcome to Becoming Natural, the Go-to Podcast for Moms Who Want to Clean Up their Lifestyle & Get Control of their Health! 💚
In this episode, I discuss powerful strategies for finding strength and clarity while living with chronic illness. Chronic illness can be an overwhelming and isolating experience, leaving many people feeling physically drained, mentally exhausted, and emotional. However, with the right outlook it's possible to find ways to cope with chronic illness and regain a sense of control over your life.
This episode highlights how important it is to nurture both your physical, spiritual, and emotional well-being. Through techniques like prioritizing quiet time, self-care, and stress management, you can manage the emotional strain of chronic illness. I also touch on how a solid faith foundation and prayer can help improve both the body and mind.
Finding my life purpose thru my greatest struggles has only deepened my faith and awareness of how good God is. Family, friends, or healthcare professionals… having the right support system can provide the encouragement and resources needed to keep moving. This episode emphasizes finding a way to allow your struggles to be used to help others on their own challenging path.
I strive to provide practical advice for living a fulfilling life despite chronic health conditions, including Crohn’s Disease. I encourage listeners to embrace the journey, shift their perspective, and tap into their inner strength. By taking small but meaningful steps toward better mental and physical health, you can find clarity and a sense of purpose, no matter what challenges are thrown your way.

Articles/Scripture Cited:
📗 Discovering God's Purpose for your Life
📑 Philippians 4:13 (ESV)
I can do all things through him who strengthens me.
📑Romans 8:28 (NIV)
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
📑James 1:2-4 (NIV)
Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
📑Job 36:15 (NIV)
But those who suffer he delivers in their suffering; he speaks to them in their affliction.
📑Job 2: 7-10 (CEV)
Satan left and caused painful sores to break out all over Job's body—from head to toe. Then Job sat on the ash-heap to show his sorrow. And while he was scraping his sores with a broken piece of pottery, his wife asked, “Why do you still trust God? Why don't you curse him and die?” I mean, she isn’t lying, but I think I have more of a heart for Job when he replied.
Job replied, “Don't talk like a fool! If we accept blessings from God, we must accept trouble as well.” In all that happened, Job never once said anything against God.
📑Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV)
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.
📑1 Corinthians 10:13 (ESV)
No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.
📑 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 (NIV)
But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

Today, we're tackling a fascinating topic: Why do essential oils work? Man made drugs have been around for roughly 85 years while essential oils have been used for thousands of years. Why have we become skeptical in their benefits? From the healing powers of lemon oil over fluid in my lungs to using Thieves to combat bleeding gums, these little bottles pack a punch. But what's actually happening when we inhale their scents or apply them to our skin? Is it chemistry, psychology, or both? In this episode, we’re breaking down the science behind essential oils, exploring how they interact with our bodies and minds, and how this skeptic became a believer.
