  • Re-AIR: The Unspoken Season of Motherhood: Miscarriage
    In this re-air episode, Elisabeth and Natalie discuss the topic of miscarriage coming from the perspective of both having personally experienced it.
    They discuss the uncomfortable and disconcerting journey of processing pregnancy loss from a place of embarrassment and shame, and how being more open about it had not only helped to bring about healing, but also create connection with so many other people who have faced the same loss.
    They also share about intentional ways they felt loved in the grieving process, as well as ways that were not as helpful. Lastly, they touch on how loss has reframed how they experience pregnancy now.

  • RE-AIR: Infertility and Loss with Tristin Gregory

    Tristin is very candid about navigating this difficult path and the physical and emotional toll of all of the ups and downs she and her husband have faced. She also emphasizes the important roll her faith has played and how being willing to "wrestle" with real and raw emotions and intrust the hard questions to God has been a major part of her healing process.
    She shares her experiences of being loved well in times of mourning by people that validated her losses and offered unconditional support for as long as it's needed.

  • RE-AIR: Slow Fashion with Gwendolyn Devine
    Join us as we re-visit a few of our favorite episodes from our archive!
    Natalie and Elisabeth chat with, Gwendolyn Devine, the manager at Yobel a Fair Trade Boutique in Colorado Springs, CO. Gwendolyn sheds a little light on the important role the Fair Trade industry plays in creating fair wage and opportunity for people in developing countries, as well as emphasizing the stunning craftsmanship and heart that go into these treasured pieces.
    We also discuss the specifics behind the growing movement of "Slow Fashion" and what it means to dress with intentionality, in a style that truly suites you. She is passionate about taking a stand against "consuming" cheap, disposable "Fast Fashion" that is both harmful to the environment and dehumanizing to the real hands that make it. As a recovering shop-a-holic, Gwendolyn gives some simple, accessible tips for creating (and defining) your own “capsule wardrobe,” thrifting first but still giving yourself grace in the name of intentionality when shopping at major retailers.
    In this episode:
    Fair Trade Definition
    The True Cost Documentary (you can also find it on Netflix)
    Fair Trade Shopping Guide
    Gwendolyn is loving: Cooking at home (find her new favorite crockpot recipe here) and Taylor Swift (she'd wear her band tee forEVER)...while Natalie loves The Beatles and Elisabeth is a John Denver fan for life.
