Finding the Light

We just want to wish you a Merry Christmas a Happy New Year and a Holiday season full of love and happiness ❤

Sometimes it’s hard to come up with a title for these episodes as we cover so much and one thing tends to flow into the next! In this weeks episode we (Karlie and Nicole) discuss everything from our own recent struggles with therapy, supporting a new mother (or anyone who needs it), and parenting when it comes to emotions and body image. The Instagram account Nicole references is @theteaonbirthtrauma.

In this weeks episode Karlie and Nicole share their favourite holiday traditions as well as the ones you submitted!

This week Karlie talks about what finding the light means to her. She shares a children's book about being brave and her takeaways from the story, and talks to her sons about their favorite things.

This weeks guest, Lindsay, shares honestly about her struggles with infertility, eventually leading to IUI, and ultimately bringing twins into the world. Lindsay also offers helpful advice for supporting someone who is struggling with infertility in your life. You can follow Lindsay on Instagram at @lifewithlindsayb.

In this weeks episode Nicole’s sister Amanda joins us to chat all things small businesses! Amanda is a photographer, student, and strong member of her community. She shares why she feels so passionately about supporting small businesses (now more than ever) and how you can support them in your own way.
