Wholly Nurtured

Today's official title under this series is Surviving and Thriving in Pregnancy. Currently, I am in the fourth trimester of my third pregnancy and I hope to share with you my personal experience of what has allowed me to not merely survive, but to thrive during my seasons of pregnancy. While each pregnancy has been unique, I've concluded that there are three core areas that I've intentionally operated within that have served as the sails that allowed me to stay within flat waters, be redirected around upcoming storms, and even survive amidst the storms that one cannot always control in the sea we call pregnancy. Quite the analogy right? In this episode, I will share what these three core sails are alongside how I've adapted each sail according to the three winds, in other words, the needs of my mind, body, and spirit within the scope of each trimester. Stay tuned as I hope to encourage you as you prepare, enter, or continue in this transformative time in your life. Connect with me!

A healthy lifestyle is established in the home. Naturally, our habits are built upon the culture of those whom we live with, may the habits be fruitful or detrimental to our health. While the culture of my home growing up was not perfect, regular meal times, a balanced plate, and desserts at low frequency helped to instill habits that serve my health fruitfully today. Not to mention the value of exercise, beginning as a child and young adult in the form of athletics (organized sport) and continuing with fitness into adulthood. Unfortunately, not every culture was as positive. In addition, as imperfect beings, we may depart from the ways that blessed us. The good news is, as adults, women on the move, whether single, married, or with growing families, we can rebuild, improve, or maintain habits that will serve us a lifetime. Not to mention the generation to follow. Whether you are working on establishing new healthful habits or improving upon them, this must commence by building your house appropriately. Sometimes to best support building your house appropriately to establish and keep healthful habits requires additional outside professional support. Today, I will share for those who are new, who I am and what I provide professionally within the realm of nutrition through Wholly Nurtured Holistic Health & Nutrition Education. Stay tuned.

I am excited to share a new message with you today. In today's episode I will share how we can operate in actionable faith in our personal ministries through the story of Esther. While the book of Esther is short and is one of two books in the Bible specifically sharing the story about a woman, Esther, this book is not short in purpose or power. However, this book displays God's sovereignty despite the circumstances we may face and both the positive and detrimental power of human will. It is a story where a God given opportunity was presented and seized by a woman who took delight in the Lord, Esther. To cultivate a Christ centered ministry, we must courageously commit to taking delight in the Lord. What does taking delight in the Lord look like given the story of Esther? How can we hinder the ministry or platform God has entrusted us with? Stay tuned as I share five ways Esther seized her God given opportunity that brought salvation to her people, those who converted to the faith, and to us today. Connect with me!

In today's episode I share how you can best build your exercise space SIMPLY. For those who do not know, I have the honor and privilege of being a stay at home mama who operates a wellness business alongside my husband from the comfort of my home. With little children, making time to nurture my mind and body through exercise can be a challenge. Exercise for me not only helps me keep my body in tip top shape, but helps to clear and uplift my mind and spirit. So, making the time is essential for my well being. The best way I've been able to stay in great health and maintain my physique amidst three pregnancies within the last five years is by creating an exercise space that is simple, accessible, and reliable. Whether you live in a small space or large, building your exercise space can be done simply and serve you effectively.

Today marks a very special day (May 10, 2021). A day of sorrow and joy, and one I plan to commemorate through this episode. Three years ago on this day I gave birth to my first daughter Judah. Judah graced the earth in utero for 7.5 months, but did not join us outside of utero long term. My pregnancy with her and my family's physical loss allowed me to truly enter my womanhood, specifically motherhood. Today, I will be sharing a word of encouragement that commenced from this experience. The focus will be placed on strength, specifically how I was able to activate my faith by cultivating my strength in the Lord as I departed that season and moved into my second pregnancy alongside being a wife. Christ turned my wailing into dancing, my sorrow into joy. For those who have an ear to hear, stay tuned. Connect with me!

The wise woman builds her house, but with her own hands the foolish one tears hers down. Proverbs 14:1 NIV In light of the Coronavirus and it's corresponding quarantine, families are required to commune more than before. To my conviction, this is a significant time for intentionality in relationships within the home. As women, we have a significant role to play as we interact more with our husbands, children or roommates. We must choose to build our families/friends up following the word of God, and do our best to not fall prey to our flesh. Operating in the flesh can lead to "social distancing" and distress in the home which creates DIVISION. Therefore, this is a time where we will wrestle against flesh. Thankfully, in this podcast, I will encourage and equip you in this new series to create and sustain UNITY by building your house up. Build Your House part 1 will include four building foundations to get you started!
