Join me and my guest, Tani Mata, as we discuss simple, practical ways to improve what we feed our children in a time when more attention is being brought to the harmful chemicals hidden in processed foods. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed and even hopeless, but the best way forward is through small, intentional steps in the right direction.

I love Tani’s approach to motherhood and cooking—whenever she speaks, I lean in. Her wisdom and dedication to feeding her children well without spending hours in the kitchen are truly inspiring. In this episode, she shares easy tips and tricks that make a big impact on her children’s nutrition while keeping mealtime stress-free.

(Note: This episode was recorded remotely, and I later realized the sound quality was actually better without Tani’s headphones. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did!)

In this episode, I dive into some powerful and convicting quotes from Alex Hormozi that have challenged me to be brutally honest with myself. I share how these insights have pushed me to raise my standards, show up for myself in a new way, and put in the hard work—especially when it feels like I’m in the wilderness.

We all experience seasons where our efforts seem to bear no fruit, but that’s exactly when we need to keep going. I hope this episode encourages every woman listening to push back against doubt, stay committed to her vision, and trust that persistence will lead to growth.

If you’ve ever felt like giving up, this one’s for you! Let’s keep showing up for ourselves, no matter what. Even when we feel like nothing is happening.
