The Pearl Podcast

calling all moms & dads, soon to be moms and dads, and young people who will someday in the future be a mom or dad! I got to sit down with Olivia, who is a certified doula & birth educator, and WOW we had an amazing conversation. We talk about what led her to pursue this career, what it entails, and we discuss natural birth, medicated birth, why both mom & dad should be educated on these topics and more!! DON'T MISS I already have a baby and I learned SO MUCH I did not know from her!!

hi guys!! Here's a mini episode that I've felt like I needed to do for a little while, I'll be taking a little break from the pod to perfect some things that need to be perfected & revamp it as a whole, as well as giving my attention to other facets in my life that I need to give it to. I'll still be sprinkling episodes in over the next few months- don't worry! See you soon cuties.

guys I have brushed shoulders with Noelle for almost 4 YEARS and can't believe I haven't sat down and chatted with her before now!! I had the GIGGLES today because her stories are soooo crazy. From building her own house with her family by hand, to almost having FREE TUITION to Cornell University and living in an actual barn, you will be picking your jaw off the floor like I was and probably laughing along with us! She is so talented & deep, you will love to get to know her.

Welcome to another solo episode where I get to know YOU better by reading your "how I met your spouse" stories! I absolutely loved hearing how you connected to your valentines. From meeting on an airplane, missions, and even someone who was born on the furthest side of the globe from them, listen to enjoy some classic love stories while we ramp up for v-day <3

I hit the JACKPOT in the friend department, for reals. Meet Liz, a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, mother of 5, and loyal friend to me. Need I say more? Whether you are on cloud 9 in your relationship, hitting some bumps, or feel that you're marriage is falling to pieces, Liz's counsel for you will truly change your life, I am not kidding. She's amazing in many ways, and we are all blessed to get some free therapy on this lovely Friday as well as hear some beautiful stories from her own life - don't miss this!!!

DENISE is SUCH a cool, down to earth soul. I've been blessed to have been here when she moved to Kentucky, and she was so gracious to be on an episode with me because her story is so unique. She is from Argentina but always dreamed of coming to the United States. We talk about her childhood in Argentina, share stories from both of our missions & talk about how the transition to the United States was for her. We also touch on her crazy love story & her battle with depression. She's such an inspiration, come get to know her!

Meet the lovely lacey!! Funny enough, this is someone else that I kind of knew in high school. We reconnect & talk about regrets we have from our teenage years & share some advice to people who want to try new things. Lacey shares about her endeavor to Idaho to be independent..where she ended up catching potatoes for a job (I could not stop laughing). Let's just say she only lasted a week there. She also shares how she met her husband & how motherhood has been for her. She said she is living the life she always dreamed of! She is the sweetest & I know you will love her.

I loved chatting with Mike. Right when we sat down to record, he took off his shoes and laid on my couch, even though we had just met 2 minutes before, and I knew this was going to be a great time. Mike has started up 4 businesses including one that he sold to STAPLES (his claim to fame). He gives great advice to anyone interested in entrepreneurship & has amazing insights on that. We talk about how he's on his fourth marriage and that this is the ONE (yay!), as well as his touching epiphany he had while driving in the panhandle of Idaho. Come meet my newest friend, he's SO COOL.
