  • Dr. Karlie Causey "The Postpartum Restoration Plan": Answering fitness questions for new moms and athletes

    Dr. Karli is an amazing friend and the creator of The Postpartum Restoration Plan. Our bodies were made to do amazing things and Dr. Karli is all about getting them MOVING (especially during and after pregnancy!) It was really tricky to know what was appropriate fitness while baby James was growing for 9 months, and how to get moving after he was born. Dr. Karlie breaks down how fitness changes by trimester and the importance of postpartum exercise and health.  And what's more is how her faith plays into her passion for her helping others with their bodies.

  • Monica Swanson: Author of "Boy Mom": Going viral and writing about parenting four teenage boys and building character

    We kick off with author, speaker, blogger and Boy Mom, Monica Swanson! She was pure joy to speak to. I don't know what was more refreshing, her heart or the cool Hawaiian breeze blowing behind her. We got real about having hope in raising your kids.
