Welcome back to our Vol 1 Greatest Hits! Today we are sharing an episode that originally aired in May of 2019. With our brand name being The Produce Moms and our B Corp values for inclusivity, it's important for us to pause and recognize the fact that motherhood and parenthood can be a difficult topic for many. There's a lot of reasons this is a difficult topic, but a leading reason is infertility.   My husband and I had 4 miscarriages between our two sons, and I vividly remember all the polarizing emotions associated with trying to get pregnant, trying to stay pregnant, and more. Members of our team struggled with infertility for years, other members of our team have estranged relationships with their mothers or parents due to neglect, abuse, personality conflicts, and more.   Motherhood is something we celebrate here at The Produce Moms - each and every day. BUT, it's important that we also use this platform to honor people who are struggling with parenthood - for whatever reason.   Today's greatest hit welcomes Elizabeth Shaw, registered dietitian and a 2x Amazon bestselling author of “Fertility Foods: 100+ Recipes to Nourish Your Body While Trying to Conceive.” And “The Stress-Free IVF Nutrition Guide.”   Enjoy this Greatest Hit: The Link Between Nutrition & Fertility with Elizabeth Shaw.  

Throwing it back to January 2022 with a special episode that originally aired as EP197. This show stars my friend Brian Antle as he tells the story of his family's farming legacy. Tanimura & Antle is famous for their premium quality produce: fresh lettuces, broccoli, cauliflower, onions, and more.    lt was the first farm I ever visited in Salinas Valley - Brian and members of the Tanimura family personally toured me through their operation and to date, it's one of the most memorable experiences of my entire life. I've also visited their farms in Yuma, Arizona and we work with this company as a brand partner of The Produce Moms.   I honestly thought I knew most of the incredible brand's family farming story and legacy.   When I was interviewing Brian for this episode, I learned about the way these families came together in WWII - the Antle Family watched over the Tanimura Family's land when members of the Tanimura family were placed in Japanese internment camps, and two of the brothers fought in the war.   What started as a relationship between two families with a love for produce and farming has grown into a global company with 30,000 acres of farmland on the west coast and 7,000 annual employees.   When I think about what separates The Produce Moms from all the other resources and creators out there - it's our connection to the farms.    Enjoy this Greatest Hit: Brian Antle and the American Family Farming story of Tanimura & Antle.

Ever since paying off over $460,000 in debt with her husband, Sam, she's been coaching others on how to pay off their own debt by shifting their mindset, beliefs and actions around money. Today, Jade Warshaw is in her dream job at Ramsey Solutions as a Master Financial Coach, Debt Elimination Expert and Debt-Free Entrepreneur. Durring these difficult times, Jade was determined that they weren't going to sacrifice when it came to food.  See, when she was a kid, no matter what hard times she faced, her mom always cooked an amazing meal. She almost always ate together as a family, and for her, that was peace. She remembered what that meant to her and decided she could do the same, so she started couponing and ad matching and buying whatever was on sale to make the most delicious meals she could. That was our reward for a day well done. This eventually led Jade to share her recipes online and start building a community with other people who were also trying to live the debt-free lifestyle.
