My guest is Heather Evans. She battled infertility for 4 years and then became pregnant with boy/girl twins (Hannah and Gavin) via their fourth round of IVF and an egg donor. She went into premature labor and delivered them at 24 weeks, 1 day (1.5 pounds each). They spent four months in the NICU including 7 weeks on a ventilator, both had brain bleeds, multiple infections, my son had heart vessel surgery, and both twins came home on oxygen. Her son has been diagnosed with cerebral palsy (although he now walks, runs, etc. without even using his braces), and he had a selective dorsal rhizotomy surgery four years ago. Both twins have ADHD, Hannah is working through some sensory and social/emotional work, and Gavin gets PT/OT/speech. She is also a pelvic floor physical therapist which means one of her specialties is treating pregnant and post-partum women. She has two books called Learning to Breathe which is her NICU story. The most recent (just out a month!) is called the NICU Mama Survival Guide, and it combines her NICU experience with her knowledge as a pelvic health PT to guide mamas in their post-partum recovery WHILE their baby is in the NICU.

My guest today is Nicole Lynn Lewis. In her book, "PREGNANT GIRL", Lewis tells her story of being a Black teen mother who entered William & Mary College and graduated with honors four years later. Now the founder and CEO of the non-profit Generation Hope (which helps teen parents apply to and stay in college), Lewis writes with candor about the many hard choices she had to make about how to afford college and raise her daughter—and the many ways the higher education and financial aid systems are not built for student parents, especially parents of color. At a time when almost a quarter of college students are also mothers or fathers, PREGNANT GIRL is a moving illustration of how difficult it is to balance these two identities, and what changes could and should be made to help these student parents reach their goals.

My guest today is Anne Bogel, who is the creator of the Modern Mrs Darcy blog and host of the popular podcast What Should I Read Next?. This September, Anne is releasing her latest book My Reading Life: A Book Journal, which helps book lovers get more out of their reading lives. “This journal is meant to capture the history of what you've read, to help you reflect on the books you are currently reading, and to help you plan for your future reading life,” said Anne. “I firmly believe that when you get more out of your reading life, your whole life is a little bit better. My hope is that this journal will help you both articulate your reading taste and broaden your literary horizons.” If reading is a priority for you, this journal would be a wonderful way to document your reading journey.

Today my guest is Brooke Wyckoff. This past year, Brooke had the opportunity to serve as our Interim Head Coach while our regular head coach Sue Semrau took a single-season leave of absence to care for her mother (her mother is thankfully in remission from ovarian cancer). Not only did Brooke gain experience as a first-time head coach (after 10 years of being an assistant coach), she also tried to be another mouthpiece to speak out about various motherhood issues (work-life balance, the lack of quality maternity leave, encourage other Mothers that they can be a Division I Head Coach AND raise a family). Back in 2014, Brooke co-founded an organization called Moms in Coaching. This is a support group for mothers who are coaching but are unsure if they can be full-time coaches and full-time moms. The motto lately from Brooke is that You can do both. Brooke has a beautiful seven-year old girl named Avery who was born in Nov. 2013. When Brooke was pregnant, she searched around campus for other Moms in athletics that she could bond with during her pregnancy, but there weren't very many. That's why she began to start her organization and make it more national.

Today my guest is author Tiffany Rosenhan. Tiffany is truly extraordinary because of her extraordinary life and I think she would make a great fit. She had a unique childhood, married young and had 4 young daughters early while her husband was in medical school. Her husband worked constantly and Tiffany wrote as an escape. After 10 years of writing, Bloomsbury published her YA novel, Girl From Nowhere. Just at the peak of all the final details of her launch, her 41 year old husband suffered a hemorrhagic stroke followed by brain surgery and is still suffering from seizures. To put it mildly, her life was turned upside down with so many questions and what ifs. She has juggled her husbands health, 4 young and busy daughters, her book launch and all the other million mom things that fall in between the big stuff with grace and a positive attitude. She has looked outward when she could easily look inward. Her family comes first, yet she still isn't giving up on her dreams. Show Notes...

Today we are having on a favorite guest again, Caitlin Crosby. After turning in her manuscript for her new book, Caitlin found that she needed the words she wrote. After her husband wanted to separate, she needed to start a whole new life, moving to a new home with her kids, all during a pandemic. She used her book to practice what she preaches including using the journal prompts to help her grieve and grow. While she was recording the audio book, her husband came by to sign the forms to sell their house and in tears, Caitlin returned to the studio and reading what she wrote about love, strength and hope was exactly what she need to keep going. By setting daily positive intentions for mental healing, she is finding a new, thriving life. She found her inner warrior and is fighting for a life full of meaning.
