Feeling like that decision will determine your family's future?
How do I make the perfect decision?
What if it's the wrong one?
What if we hate this decision?
What if it fails and we have to go back?

I understand these questions and how they take over your everyday thoughts when trying to make decisions. 

No matter how big or small someone might think they are. It is big to you and that's okay. 

There are a few things I have learned in the past few years that I want to share with you, mama. I want decision-making to become easier for you. I want you to have peace of mind around making decisions for you and your family.

In this episode, I give you questions to ask yourself and tips for choosing what's right for you and your family.

THANK YOU! Thank you for tuning in each week & being here in the community. I do this for you mama! I hope each week you walk away feeling validated & seen in your motherhood journey.

I could not do any of this without you. Let's impact more mamas. You can help me do that by leaving your testimony/review here.

Inside this episode, I talk about where the MYDG community started, where it's at now & what's coming up.

Community, MAMA's Night Out & MYDG 1st ever CONFERENCE coming February 3, 2024.

The point of this conference is to shift YOUR MINDSET! We all feel like we are failing or don't know what way to go because of social media and the opinions of others.

We are taking our insecurities, negative thoughts, self doubt and guilt and BUSTING the LIES we tell ourselves.

"We are the only ones....", "My kid is the only one...", "I am a bad mom." The list goes on!!!

So the conference is going to be the mindset shift you need to walk out and into motherhood with a glow and a confidence you have never felt before.

MYDG is not just a brand!

MYDG is a phrase, slogan, a daily reminder!!

It is your STATEMENT to stand by!

It is your TRUTH!

It is your CONFIDENCE!

It is a reminder of how GREAT you are doing!

No matter...

How tired you are.

How frustrated you got today.

How over being a mom you feel.

How dirty your house is.

How behind on laundry you are.

How sassy, testy or “bad” you think your child is, & you blame yourself.

We are not blaming ourselves anymore!!

You are doing a GREAT job! An amazing job being your kids mama!

No one can do it better than you!

All of us mamas have our days, moments, seasons!

Motherhood is not one size fits all. We all mother and do things differently but one thing we all have in common is that we want to be the best mamas we can be.

We are a community that celebrates, encourages and uplifts each other through our motherhood journey.

Tune in & celebrate the 50th episode with me!

Sitting in the hospital, not knowing what is next. What will the doctors say about my 1 lb baby? How long will my baby be in here? Will my baby make it? Why did my body fail me and this baby?

In honor of NICU Awareness Month, I have my friend Brandi Storey on the podcast to tell her story.

Brandi lives outside of Fort Worth with her husband, Jamie and two little girls.

Brandi's second pregnancy was a little different than her first. She was admitted to the hospital at 26 weeks pregnant for bed rest with pre-eclampsia and started induction 6 days later because of HELLP syndrome. Penny was born at 27 weeks and spent 112 days in the NICU.

Brandi suffered from a lot of guilt right after birth and feeling disconnected from her baby. They also struggled with juggling a high risk baby in the hospital all while having a 2 year old at home.

She shares the hard & unknowing times, how Jamie & her stayed strong through it all & how celebrating the small victories, lead to the big victory. As well as, advice for couples and families who have a baby in the NICU today.
