Danielle and I connected through a women's leadership program and stayed connected over the years through different avenues of community and careers. We met in Fargo, but now both are South Dakota residents, too! I was thrilled to be able to sit down with Danielle and talk about her motherhood experience while navigating a writing career, a big move, and life post-pandemic.

Dr. Jess is my chiropractor and health-confidant here in rural South Dakota. I was so fortunate to find her as my care provider and am blessed further still to be able to call her a friend. We had a candid conversation about life as a mom pulled in different directions and the importance of keeping health simple and straightforward.

I was first introduced to Michele through her book Undone, soon after it was published. Three years later, I had the pleasure of receiving her coaching and mentorship in the mastermind she facilitated, and have been blessed to call her a friend since. She joins me on this episode to share her incredibly unique motherhood journey, and what she's learned and experienced along the way.

Ashley is a friend from my Fargo days, and one of the bubbliest, most entertaining conversationalists I know. I don't know if I've laughed so much during an interview as I did in this one. I accidentally muted myself at one point, but otherwise, you'll hear me laughing several minutes in a row in the background. Mom of four, wife of a coach, and finding herself in small-town living, Ashley shares an honest - and hysterical - insight into her motherhood experience.

Tracy and I met in a women's leadership program in 2012 and became friends and encouragers for one another through different adventures and pursuits. She's a mom of two, an innovator, and a motivator. Her story is as inspiring as it is authentic, and I know you're going to enjoy this conversation with my friend and peer, Tracy Fixen.

October is Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Month, and I thought I would take this opportunity to reflect on the last ten years as a bereaved mama. I wouldn't say this is a sad episode - even I didn't cry recording it. It is an insight into what the last ten years have looked like for us as we've navigated this path as bereaved parents since our daughter Harlynn was stillborn in 2013.

Karen, and her husband Mike, are very dear friends of Brent's and mine. They've been alongside us through wonderful celebrations, dreadful heartache, and have even helped us move a time or two. This was an especially meaningful and emotional conversation for me, given how much Karen and her husband mean to our family. I hope every mom, and every married couple, has mentors in their life like Mike and Karen.
