Jess and Erin get practical about exercise in real-life seasons and why chasing “strong” beats chasing “skinny.” We unpack non-scale wins, realistic starting points for busy moms, and a faith-filled reason to keep going (1 Corinthians 9:24–27).

What we cover

• Starting small: 2–3 days/week you can actually keep

• Strength > scale: body-composition, tape measures, NSVs

• Simple moves during kid sports & lunch breaks

• Modeling strength for daughters (and sons)

• Motivation that lasts: family, longevity, calling

Scripture Anchor: 1 Corinthians 9:24–27

Ever had a hair disaster you still cringe about? In this bonus episode, we're sharing our most embarrassing hair stories - from postpartum crisis cuts to makeover mishaps that went terribly wrong.

Ever feel like you're stuck in a season of waiting, wondering if God has forgotten His plans for you? In this raw and vulnerable episode, we're diving deep into those uncomfortable "in-between" seasons of life where nothing seems to be moving forward.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Personal stories of waiting seasons that led to unexpected blessings
• How to discern between God's timing and our own impatience
• The struggle of leaving jobs, starting businesses, and stepping out in faith
• Why doubt and faith can coexist (and that's okay!)
• Finding purpose in the pause when life feels uncertain
• The beautiful analogy of whales and why we're "in this world but not of it"

Featured Scripture: Ecclesiastes 3:11 - "He has made everything beautiful in its time."

This episode gets real as we navigate current struggles with career transitions, building a counseling practice, and trusting God when you can't see the next step. Bring tissues—there are tears, laughter, and plenty of "come to Jesus" moments.

A note about this episode: Due to a recording snafu, there's some smooth jazz playing in the background. We decided to keep the original recording because the authenticity and vulnerability that happened couldn't be recreated. The content is too good to miss!

Perfect for: Moms in transition, anyone facing uncertainty, and those who need a reminder that waiting seasons aren't wasted seasons.

Let’s peel back the layers on body image, faith, and everyday health (without the shame). Jess (RD) and Erin swap stories from college, pregnancy, and perimenopause, and reframe “your body is a temple” through the lens of grace. Expect practical ideas you can use today (real breakfast + 5-minute movement) and a steady reminder of whose you are.

Scripture: 1 Corinthians 6:19–20 (NIV)

Key takeaways:

• You can’t hate yourself into health, grace grows change.

• Small, repeatable habits beat big, perfect plans.

• Your worth isn’t body-dependent; it’s God-given.

Try this: Eat a protein-forward breakfast, add 5 minutes of movement, and when shame pipes up, ask, “Whose am I?”

Sweats, tea, and tech humility today. After discovering our batch-recorded episodes had a smooth-jazz soundtrack (for real), we sat down AGAIN to talk launch week highs, compassion in a hard news cycle, and why moms need real, in-person friends. Then some tips on how to find them. We anchor in Ruth 1:16–17 and get practical about effort, seasons, vulnerability, and using your unique strengths in friendship. We wrap with “Tell Me Something Good” (Disney core memories + a passed certification!) and a closing prayer.

Scripture: Ruth 1:16–17
Highlights: launch gratitude, bold faith with gentleness, building your circle IRL, introvert/extrovert teamwork, call-don’t-text when it matters.
