Along the way, I’ve experienced eight unexpected — and amazing ...

Have you ever made a decision that makes very little sense, but also makes PERFECT sense at the same time?

I knew I was facing a decision like this when I got a last-minute nudge to go to Glacier National Park for our 17th wedding anniversary.

And in today’s episode, I share how I decided what to do and everything that happened next.

As you know, I’m an avid reader, rabbit hole deep-diver and researcher. 

I want to know the truth. Always. 

And one of my gifts is my built-in bullshit detector. My body quickly responds to and has resonance with truth and alignment, knowing when false narratives, pretty lies or fear mongering are at play.

So when I started hearing and seeing highly respected and adored natural health influencers (women who I shared many similar h...

    I first met Laurel six years ago when she found me through a Facebook post and scheduled our call.

    Her decision to get on a call with me and join Fiercely Empowered Mama changed everything. 

    And that first step she took made the impossible, possible...
