Welcome to What’s the Word!

Join me as we dive deep into faith, self-care, and the beautiful, messy journey of parenthood. This podcast is a space where spirituality meets real life — no judgment, no perfection, just honest conversations and heartfelt stories.

Originally born from my love of themed workouts and words of the day, What’s the Word has evolved into something much bigger than I ever expected. Along the way, I’ve explored wellness, motherhood, and the many twists and turns of my spiritual path — all while interviewing some of the most inspiring people I know.

In this season and beyond, I’ll share my personal testimony, the powerful dreams that led me back to scripture, and the lessons I’m learning as I grow deeper in faith. Whether you’re just beginning your spiritual journey or looking to reconnect, you’re invited to come along with me, imperfect, curious, and open to whatever comes next.

There will be candid chats, inspiring guests, practical self-care tips, and heartfelt stories about finding light in the everyday. This isn’t about telling you what to believe; it’s about exploring faith together and supporting each other along the way.

So if you’re ready to say “yes” to your own spiritual journey — whatever that looks like for you  hit subscribe, share with a friend, and let’s grow together on What’s the Word.

Welcome back. Welcome home. Welcome to What’s the Word. Be sure to subscribe and be a part of the community as we rise TOGETHER and remember to have FAITH!

Mama Meals is an organic postpartum meal service that delivers nutrient dense meals straight to your door that are designed to heal your mind, body and soul after giving birth.  They are rooted in the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurveda and Weston A. Price.  Holly started Mama Meals after having two completely different postpartum experiences.  Her first was very difficult, not knowing she was eating the "wrong" foods.  For her second, she prepped and froze over 60 meals following these principles and could not believe how much faster she healed and how much better she felt overall.
