Are you tired of dieting but never losing weight? Do you feel like you don’t have time to cook healthy meals? Are you tired of wasting money trying out meals to please your picky eaters? Do you feel confused by all the health narratives out there? Don’t worry, you’re not alone! In this podcast, you will find simple health strategies that will leave you confident and peaceful about your healthcare decisions. You will learn quick tips and solid truths to help you overcome the obstacles that keep you in a vicious cycle of fear and confusion and find freedom in your health. My mission is to provide trustworthy resources that help you cut through the noise and find the answers you’ve been looking for. I want to see you equipped, confident, and secure in your ability to help your family along the journey to optimal health without breaking the bank or wasting your time on ineffective solutions. If you’re ready to stop dieting for good, start feeling confident in your health decisions, and have fun doing it, join me on the journey. I’m Heather, a wife, mom, and health enthusiast. I tried to find optimal health in all the wrong places - diet after diet and health trend after health trend. Even my doctor and pediatrician couldn’t give me the answers I was looking for. I desperately wanted confidence and freedom in my health but felt like I could never actually attain it. I was constantly afraid that I was making the wrong decisions for my kids; however, I didn’t trust everything the healthcare system told me. I didn’t know where to turn. On top of that, I wasted so much money on supplements that didn’t work and fitness plans I couldn’t stick to. I finally realized that if I were to find freedom, I would need to educate myself. I needed to find strategies to help me reach my goals and interpret all the medical jargon I felt inadequate to understand. I created a system to help me save time in the kitchen and prepare healthy meals for my family, as well as strategies around deciphering the truth amongst all the confusing healthcare narratives. This brought clarity to my decisions and gave me the help I needed to actually stick to my goals and reach them. And now I’m ready to share it with you! If you are ready to break free from feelings of inadequacy - no more anxiety or fear because you don’t know what to do….find time for the things that are important to you - like your family’s health...learn healthy meal hacks, and find solutions with results for your health that you can see - like better sleep, more energy, and weight loss - this podcast is for you! So grab that cold coffee you’ve been waiting to drink all morning, and let’s jump in!

Hey, mamas! 🌸
We’re diving into a topic today that’s so close to my heart: the fear factor around health. With all the warnings and advice out there, it’s easy to get wrapped up in worry – but fear can actually mess with our health, both mentally and physically! In this episode, we’re exploring three ways fear can make you sick and confused and, just as importantly, three ways to break free and reclaim your peace.
Here’s what you’ll get in today’s episode:
Why fear sells and how constant exposure to fear-based messaging is impacting our physical health.
How adrenaline and cortisol (those “stress hormones”) can wreak havoc on digestion, gut health, and even our decision-making abilities when we’re in a constant state of worry.
The reality behind “orthorexia nervosa” – a fixation on "clean" eating that leads to stress and burnout.
My favorite way to interrupt fear’s hold: the Stop, Drop, and Roll method. Yep, just like they teach for fire safety! I’ll walk you through this simple process to get back to a calm, clear-headed place whenever fear creeps in.

Hey mamas!
Today, we’re talking about something every mom dreams of—spending less time in the kitchen while still feeding their families good, nutritious meals. In this episode, I’m sharing my “SPUDS” strategy to keep meal prep simple and stress-free, so you can get out of the kitchen faster and do more of what you love.
Until next time, grab those pre-chopped onions, toss some sauce on that chicken, and get out of the kitchen and enjoy your family. You’re doing an amazing job, mama. See you next episode!

Hi, mamas!
In this first episode, we're diving headfirst into a journey of freeing ourselves from the fears often accompanying healthcare decisions. I’m thrilled to finally share this message that’s been on my heart, encouraging you to walk confidently as you make informed choices for your family's health.
What We’ll Cover in This Episode:
The Heart of This Podcast: My promise to you! I'm here to discuss the challenging, sometimes controversial topics that we all worry about but are often confused about. No stone will be left unturned as we look for clarity and truth in healthcare.
My Story and Inspiration: Growing up in the 1980s, I was raised in an "outside-the-box" household—yes, with bologna bowls, Velveeta cheese, and natural remedies! But my mom’s willingness to explore unconventional options has inspired me to help others navigate this complex landscape, too.
The Role of Intuition: As moms, our intuition can be a powerful guide in making the right decisions for our kids. I share some personal stories about trusting my gut and how it’s shaped my journey through challenges like celiac sensitivity, tongue ties, and calls from the CDC (yep!).
Building a Community of Fearless Mamas: I want to create a supportive space where we can share knowledge, support each other, and feel empowered to make choices we believe in—without fear or judgment.
The Big Goal: This podcast isn’t about telling you what to do. Whether you choose home birth, hospital birth, or vaccinations, it's about equipping you with tools and confidence. So, we’ll dive into both mainstream and holistic health and examine the science to help you make decisions that feel right for you.
Oh, and Some Laughs! Expect some corny jokes along the way. I can’t help it—it’s part of my DNA! 😉
