We are taking a deep dive into our first episode on the first pillar of health- NOURISHMENT! 

In this conversation, Kim and I walk through the more nutrition side of things. We discuss the difference between nutrition and nourishment, some key thoughts on how confusing the food landscape can be (that's why nourishment is a better approach than nutrition for most people), and some real life guidelines for making that work.

Also in this episode...

* I talk very openly about the eating disorder I struggled with for close to 10 years (age 14-23)... I've never done that on any sort of platform before....

* We talk about the very uncool lunch we ate

* I tell you four of the five questions to ask yourself before you eat that.... so here they are:

1. Would your great-grandmother recognize that food?

2. How many steps did it take to get to that form/state/etc?

3. Does that color occur in nature?

4. What claims is it making? Buyer beware!

5. How many ingredients are on the back?

I don't know about you but for me, sports were such an amazing part of my childhood. My husband and I have struggled tremendously to find a sports option that offers high level opportunity but at a commitment level that doesn't prevent the other good parts of life..... OR break the bank! We've settled in at Sports for the One and in this episode I sit with the director Paul Wilson and his right hand man, Toine Thomas.

If you loved sports as a kid but feel like you don't want to bite off the crazy cake of travel whatever, listen in for some encouragement for your soul!

In August, the theme is MISSION: Childhood, and where better to start than with their souls! I'm joined by Ida Mundell, Children's Pastor at Access Church in Lakeland, FL. 

Parenting was never designed to be about perfection. Parenting is about modeling- being a lead learner in your home. More is caught than is taught and parents are the #1 influence in the lives of their children. Modeling failure, forgiveness, grace, and integrity create a solid structure. Ida and I cover all of this and share daily rhythms that help create a home that is filled with love and connection.
