My mom had six kids, starting with her first when she was 18 in 1965 and having me in her 40s in 1990! She takes us through her journey and talks to us about the differences of having children through all the decades. I've been talking to my mom for YEARS and I learned so much in this episode and I hope you do too!

Yaglin Medina, The Food Conscious Coach, talks to us about her journey into become more conscious about her health choices which started with the realization that her breast implants were making her extremely sick. According to data from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, in 2020 over 36,000 women elected to get their breast implants removed in a procedure known as an "explant" and Yaglin was one of them. She talks about how realizing that something she chose to put in her body was "killing her slowly" and that led to her learning about healing from within.

This conversation is inspiring to say the least and I hope every listener leaves with at least one piece of valuable information to implement into their daily lives.
