Mental Wealth, Leave a New Legacy

Shared custody transitions can be hard on everyone, and sometimes the toughest part is when the kids come back home. In this episode of Mental Wealth, Katie and Laura talk about why switching between homes can feel so overwhelming for both kids and parents.

​

​

From different routines and expectations to a child's need for predictability, these transitions take more emotional energy than we may realize. Laura shares practical ways to make transition days easier, including creating space to decompress, keeping routines consistent, and helping kids stay connected to both parents.

​

​

A smoother transition starts with connection, consistency, and giving everyone a little room to adjust. 💛

​

​

Sometimes coming home takes time, too.

Health and Fitness with Erin

In this episode of Energy Shift With Erin, Coach Erin McDonald breaks down the everyday habits that may be making your hormone symptoms worse without you realizing it. Skipping meals, under-eating fiber, and adding more cardio when your body is already stressed can all contribute to cravings, bloating, poor sleep, inflammation, and a harder time losing body fat. 💛​​Erin explains why a high-protein, high-fiber breakfast, enough whole-food fiber, strength training, and proper fueling can help support your hormones instead of working against them. The goal is not to do more. It’s to stop stacking stressors and give your body what it actually needs. 💪✨​​Sometimes the “healthy” habit is the thing keeping you stuck.​​Connect with Coach Erin McDonald:Website: www.8wellnesscollective.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/ErinNichole002​Connect with MOMnation: www.direct.me/momnationaz​​#HormoneHealth #PerimenopauseSupport #WomensWellness

Make Dollars Make Sense

💳Debt can feel overwhelming, but understanding how it works is one of the first steps toward taking back control. In this episode of Make Dollars Make Sense, Trudi and Jenn break down credit cards, borrowing, interest, minimum payments, and why not all debt is automatically bad.

​

​

We’re also talking about the emotional side of debt, including guilt, shame, impulsive spending, and why it can feel so hard to simply look at the numbers. You’ll hear practical questions to ask before borrowing, how credit card interest can work against you, and why having a repayment plan matters. 💰

​

​

If you’ve ever felt embarrassed about debt or unsure where to start, this conversation is a reminder that debt is information, not your identity. ❤️

​

​

Understanding your debt gives you the power to make a different plan.

Health and Fitness with Erin

In this episode of Energy Shift With Erin, Coach Erin McDonald explains why fall can be one of the best times to begin a focused fat-loss phase. With summer travel winding down and routines returning, this season can give you the structure needed to stay consistent without pushing your body into unnecessary stress. 🍂

​

​

Erin breaks down how to set your calories, protein, fiber, strength training, and daily steps for a successful 8 to 12-week fat-loss phase. She also explains why maintenance matters just as much as the deficit if you want to keep the weight off, protect your hormones, and stop losing and regaining the same pounds. 💪

​

​

Fat loss works best when you have a plan for both losing and maintaining. ✨

​

In this episode of From the Heart, Robin Black shares her remarkable journey through faith, marriage, military life, addiction, grief, and self-discovery.

Robin also shares how therapy, mindfulness, travel, and the courage to question everything she thought she believed helped her slowly rebuild a life that finally felt like her own.

Health and Fitness with Erin

In this episode of Energy Shift With Erin, Coach Erin McDonald explains why stress may be the missing piece when you’re eating healthy, exercising, and still feeling inflamed, exhausted, or stuck. During perimenopause and menopause, your body becomes more sensitive to low calories, excessive exercise, poor sleep, and inconsistent eating. 💛

​

Erin breaks down how weekday restriction followed by weekend overeating can cancel out your calorie deficit and create even more stress for your hormones. Instead of cutting food lower or adding more cardio, she shares why stable calories, enough protein and fiber, strength training, and consistency can help your body finally respond. 🔥

​

You don’t need more extremes. You need more stability. ✨

​

Stress may be the reason you’re doing everything right but still feel off.
