Our conversation this week centers on Sarah's experience with "bouncing back" after pregnancy (spoiler alert, this isn't a thing, lol) and the mindset shifts she's implemented to have more grace with herself and her body's process...because we are all SO different.

This week Micah and I discuss some of my end of pregnancy anxieties and how I put a stop to them, along with the power of being certain with a goal but flexible with the path in which we get there. We also touch on how there is so little we can control from day to day, and how our faith provides us peace in those uncontrollables.

S1 Ep 24Cam and Mal on working through post-partum depression for both men and women, the challenges of becoming more Christ-like, and how the most uncomfortable conversations in relationships are the ones that bring the most fruit | Ep. 24
This week we had a very vulnerable conversation with Cam and Mal Reyes! They not only have a massive social media following across instagram, Youtube, TikTok, Facebook, etc. but they have a ton of value and experience to share about discernment, selflessness, and what it looks like when we get deeply rooted in the pursuit of becoming more Christ-like...especially the MOST uncomfortable parts. Nobody is or ever will be perfect, but the transparency and growth mindedness of these two is admirable!
