In episode number 11, Kathleen Joye is sharing about the birth of her sweet daughter Winnie! Kathleen talks about her dive into the world of birth and some of the changes she made during her pregnancy to prepare well for Winnie’s arrival. It’s an episode full of goodness and lots of laughter! 

In the Meet the Midwife segment, Bethany Arrington of Genesis Birth and Wellness joined me. Bethany is a Certified Nurse Midwife offering Homebirth and Gynecology services in the Upstate of South Carolina. I ask Bethany to share a little about how Midwifery Care differs from the care of Obstetricians, so make sure you listen in for that. You can find Bethany on her Website and on Instagram and Facebook.

Paleo Taco Casserole - This is a pretty close variation of the Paleo Taco Casserole Kathleen mentions. It's a lot of work, but it makes a lot of food and has so many veggies!! I add an onion and spiralize my sweet potatoes rather than grating.
