The path to and in motherhood is different for everyone. Literally everyone. Some of you may be on it, in it or no where near it, and some may be struggling toward it. Wherever you are - whichever season you find yourself right now - this episode is simply a moment of preparation and recognition.

If you haven't yet - you will. You will feel stuck, knowing you want more, but not knowing where to start. Let's talk about it.

Listen, you may start this episode not knowing who Toni J Collier is, but you’ll end it wanting to know everything about her. She’s got a story to tell, and a heart to empower women to keep telling their own story – no matter what it looks like. I honestly just hope you have your tennis shoes on because you’ll want to run some laps after this one. Or just like move your feet really fast under your desk if running isn’t an option…or preferable to you. We’re inclusive here. Toni shares how she navigates the pain of her past, the push to pursue more and how she settled into…

I’m not trying to be a broken record here – but do you know everything your hormones impact? Fatigue, anxiety, weight gain, sex drive, temper…overall outlook on life. As we continue trying to intentionally pursue a state of balance with our mental health – we would be dummies to ignore how our hormones play a part in all of it. I get it though, sometimes you’re sitting on that cold metal table with the thin paper that keeps sticking to your legs, trying to describe your symptoms to your doctor and you know something’s wrong – but you just can’t put a finger on the source. Today’s guest, Dr. Heather…

Listen, this conversation you’re about to hear with my new friend, Alison Cook, felt like I was sitting on a couch across from her, tasking her with helping me navigate the things I’ve spent years avoiding navigating.
