  • 172 - A Million Dollar Baby and The God Who Provides - Jocelin Whitaker

    My guest Jocelin and her husband run a health food store called Whitaker's Natural Market in Bellville, Ohio. But their story goes much deeper than just owning a store. Jocelin is a doctor of traditional naturopathy and a certified fertility counselor, specializing in toxic mold syndrome, Lyme disease, and fertility issues.

    Today she is sharing her personal journey of faith and the challenges she faced in her high-risk pregnancy (with preeclampsia) to the premature birth of her daughter, Yalissa, weighing only 1 pound 12 ounces. Jocelin's faith and community played a central role in guiding and supporting her every step of the way.

    Whitaker's Natural Market is Jocelin and Marc's company and Jocelin's natural health practice is DrJocelinWhitaker.com

  • 169 - Mending Generational Wounds: Repairing Mother-Daughter Relationships - Blythe Daniel

    With her own experiences in mind, my guest Blythe Daniel recognizes the power of the bond between a child and their mother and the potential for it to become strained or damaged over time. But just as strong is the power to mend those relationships when we humbly seek restoration guided by scripture, prayer and powerful questions.

    Do you long to heal the hurt between mother and daughter in your family? I believe that this conversation will give you some words to speak life into those relationships as well as offer resources to further assist in the endeavor.
