Hey Party People! I'm so sorry it's been a while since I've posted an episode- there have been TONS of changes in my life and I just needed a minute to process. BUT now that we're back, I can't wait for you to hear Madison's story. Madison was a happy newly wed living in her small hometown, and with one phone call, she quickly became a 26 year old divorcee with a husband at risk of going to jail.  Literally- at one point I snapped my fingers at her and said " Yes, ma'am! I am inspired!" and I know you're going to be snapping your fingers too! Let's jump in- I promise, it's amazing! 

Hey Party People! This has been a long awaited episode- aka it’s taken me FOREVER to actually edit and get this out. But I promise, it is TOTALLY worth the wait.

Then, in order to save her life, her doctor made the choice to amputate below the knees, resulting in loss of her legs. Callie tells her story with grace and humor, and I’ve LOVED getting to learn from her. I know you will too!

Today we’re jumping in with Arden Mcartrette. Arden is part of the club no woman wants to be in- she calls them the “infertility warriors”. When Arden and her husband wanted to start their family, it wasn’t as easy as she thought it may be, resulting in a diagnosis of unexplained infertility and two miscarriages. My favorite thing about our conversation is that Arden and I have different faiths, and I learned so much from her about what it looks like to love someone in the middle of the messy who believes differently then I do. This is a great one that you’re not going to want to miss!

This tugs at the heartstrings- pun intended- and I can't wait for you to hear it!
