After having a baby, you have to learn to live with your new body. I hate to break it to you, but it simply will never go back to the exact way it was before. Don’t think this is all bad news, though! You just have to learn to love and care for your new postpartum self! You can still lose weight, be fit, and have energy again. However, you birthed an actual human, and your body needs to be cared for with a little more grace. In this episode, I have a conversation with my good friend Jessica Hughes. Jess has been a personal trainer for nearly a decade, is an influencer coach, and is the blogger behind Happily Hughes.

28 Feb 2023 | Training Your Kids on Inclusion & Acceptance with Laura Wifler EP 27 | 01:03:44 | |
Maybe you know what it’s like – your kid sees another kid at the store or in school that is different from them, and they don’t know how to act. They try to look at them out of the corner of their eye, maybe they giggle, or they loudly ask you what that thing is they sitting on and if they can get one. Sure, it’s embarrassing, but it’s in no way a reflection of your parenting. Rather than shushing your child and moving on like it never happened, you can take this as an opportunity to teach your children about inclusion. In this episode, we had a conversation with the infamous Laura Wifler, co-founder and executive director of Risen Motherhood. On top of producing content for Risen Motherhood, Laura is also an author of multiple books and creates resources for moms, kids, and families. Laura has a daughter with a rare genetic condition – in this episode, she shares some parenting tips to help teach children on how to react around others with disabilities, practice acceptance, and maybe even make a new friend!

Children will mirror the energy and attitude of parents. Campbell unpacks the differences between mouth breathing vs nose breathing as well as the impact each has on the mind, body, and nervous system. He also touches on stress (embracing it rather than avoiding it), self regulation (teaching the nervous system how to be calm, the link between breathing and emotions, and the difference between "breathwork" and "breath retraining". Campbell practically walks through good breathing patterns including how to properly take a deep breath.

07 May 2024 | Healing From Lies, Toxic Relationships, Loss and Grief With CMT Top Female Country Artist, Stephanie Quayle EP 82 | 00:48:56 | |
In this episode: Stephanie Quayle, acclaimed singer/songwriter and author of her forthcoming book, Why Do We Stay?, joins Heather to talk about healing from lies, toxic relationships, loss, and grief. When Stephanie lost her boyfriend in a plane crash, she faced intense grief and pain. Nothing compared, though, to the shock of discovering she had not been the only woman in his life. As her world unraveled around her, Stephanie realized that it had actually been unraveling from the start of their relationship—back when he promised her everything. Stephanie says that her faith and forgiveness of not only the one who inflicted the pain but also of herself, has been the key to freedom and healing in her journey. Her personal journey of faith in Jesus has been one that she has held close and private, but now she is opening up about all God has done in her life. Stephanie was baptized by Pastor Chris Hodges of Church of the Highlands in January – on the 15th anniversary of her pain, which has now become her freedom. Most of us have dealt with a toxic relationship – whether in friendship or romantically. Stephanie’s journey from heartbreak to healing will encourage and inspire you that in Christ, you can be empowered to walk in freedom, lay aside guilt and shame, practice self-care and rebuild your life.

God will never tell us to hustle or move faster and in fact, God is calling us to a slower pace. Productivity is amplified when we choose to unplug because we realize where our priority should be when the noise is reduced. My next step for you is this: Write down when you feel better, relaxed, or more alive and let that be part of you sabbath.

In this episode of the Healthy by Heather Brown podcast, Heather dives into the importance of mental, physical, and spiritual health in children with her guest, Rebekah Weigel, a producer, writer, and foster/adoptive parent. They discuss the movie 'Sound of Hope,' which focuses on a community-based adoption and foster care model inspired by real-life events from a small church in East Texas. Heather and Rebekah explore the church's role in supporting children both locally and globally, addressing the various traumas that children encounter today. Rebekah shares her journey from psychology to filmmaking, the challenges and blessings of foster care, and the critical role of community support in encouraging adoptive families. Families who serve children through foster care and adoption are embodying the role of local missionaries and are meeting a great need. While more foster and adoptive families are needed, the church can also support these parents by offering prayer and care in the same way it would for international missionaries. We are called to be set apart, salt and light, in a dark world. In the marriage corner, this episode focuses on the balance of phone usage to foster better family relationships and concludes with actionable insights for parents on how to stay present in their children's lives. Scripture verses highlighted in this episode include:James 1:27 “Religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained.” 2 Corinthians 12:9 “But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.” Links from this episode: https://www.peacetreeproductions.com/ https://www.instagram.com/rebekahweigel/?hl=en https://www.instagram.com/soundofhopefilm/?hl=en https://www.imdb.com/name/nm3013928/ Sponsor for this episode: Bio-Kult Probiotic - USE CODE HEATHER20 for a discount! http://us.bio-kult.com/ 00:00 Welcome to Healthy by Heather Brown 00:45 Introducing Rebekah Weigel 02:14 Rebecca's Journey into Filmmaking 04:10 The Story Behind 'Sound of Hope' 05:08 Challenges and Community in Adoption 10:58 Supporting Adoptive Families 11:57 Bio Kult Everyday: A Probiotic Solution 14:57 Rebekah's Reflections on Adoption 21:13 How to Watch 'Sound of Hope' 22:02 Rebekah's Personal Reset Practices 28:37 Marriage Corner: Balancing Cell Phone Usage 40:40 Closing Remarks and Encouragement Connect with Heather:

In this episode of the 'Healthy by Heather Brown' podcast, Heather is joined by Melissa Kruger, Vice President of Discipleship Programming at The Gospel Coalition who uses Biblical teachings, insights from developmental experts, and her personal experiences as a teacher and mother of three young adults to help guide parents on raising teens with a rock-solid faith in her new book Parenting with Hope: Raising Teens for Christ in a Secular Age. Melissa has made the transition from raising three kids to adults, while learning and discovering how to make shifts in her parenting style.

07 Nov 2024 | Re-Listen: Training Your Kids on Inclusion & Acceptance with Laura Wifler EP 27 | 01:02:34 | |
Maybe you know what it’s like – your kid sees another kid at the store or in school that is different from them, and they don’t know how to act. They try to look at them out of the corner of their eye, maybe they giggle, or they loudly ask you what that thing is they sitting on and if they can get one. Sure, it’s embarrassing, but it’s in no way a reflection of your parenting. Rather than shushing your child and moving on like it never happened, you can take this as an opportunity to teach your children about inclusion. In this episode, we had a conversation with the infamous Laura Wifler, co-founder and executive director of Risen Motherhood. On top of producing content for Risen Motherhood, Laura is also an author of multiple books and creates resources for moms, kids, and families. Laura has a daughter with a rare genetic condition – in this episode, she shares some parenting tips to help teach children on how to react around others with disabilities, practice acceptance, and maybe even make a new friend!
