   # 40 You Take Care of Everyone Else. But Who Takes Care of You?

   When was the last time you made time for yourself without feeling like you should be doing something for someone else? For so many moms and caregivers, taking care of everyone else becomes second nature. We manage the schedules, meet everyone's needs, and keep life moving while our own health and well-being keep getting pushed to the bottom of the list. But what if waiting for life to slow down is part of what's keeping us stuck? In this episode, we sit down with Sam Reed, a mom, military wife, board-certified behavior analyst, and founder of Rooted Wellness. Sam shares how the principles of behavior science can help us understand the habits holding us back, make small changes that actually stick, and approach wellness without feeling like we need to overhaul our entire lives. We talk about emotional eating, finding time when it feels impossible, losing pieces of our identity in motherhood, and why even 10–15 minutes of intentional movement or self-care can matter. Because caring for everyone else and caring for yourself don't have to be competing priorities. And you don't have to wait for life to get less busy to start showing up for yourself If this episode encouraged you, we'd love to hang out with you more!

   #39 Building What Her Family Couldn't Find: The Story Behind The Vault

   What if the thing your family needs doesn't exist yet? And what if, instead of settling for what's available, you decide to build it yourself? In this episode, we sit down with Cassidy Nicholas, a mom of four, fitness professional, and entrepreneur who is doing just that. After years in the fitness industry, including helping grow her husband's Epic Interval Training concept to 10 locations, Cassidy found herself rethinking what health, education, and community could look like for families. Becoming a mom changed the way she saw things. As she navigated motherhood, homeschooling, and the challenges of starting a family during COVID, she began imagining something she couldn't find: a place where kids could learn, move, explore their interests, and develop real-world skills while parents had opportunities to prioritize their own well-being, too. That idea became The Vault, a new homeschool hybrid academy and family fitness and wellness club being built in Naples, Florida. Cassidy shares the vision behind bringing education, movement, entrepreneurship, agriculture, and community together under one roof. We talk about why kids need opportunities to learn by doing, how they develop confidence through relationships with people of different ages, and what can happen when we give them room to explore their interests instead of expecting every child to thrive in the same environment. We also talk about something that can be easy for parents to put off: taking care of ourselves. Our kids are watching how we live, how we move, and how we make space for our own health. What might change if family wellness became something we built into everyday life rather than one more thing to squeeze into an already full schedule? At the heart of Cassidy's vision is a question worth asking in our own lives, too: What if there's something better than fine? Whether you're navigating homeschooling, thinking about your family's health, or simply wondering what a different approach could look like, this conversation invites you to imagine new possibilities and take a closer look at what your family really needs.

   #38 From Survival to Healing: A Conversation with Dr. Kate

   What happens when you've spent so long learning how to survive that you no longer know who you are outside of the struggle? In this episode, Brittany sits down with Dr. Kate, a chiropractor and functional and integrative medicine specialist, to talk about her journey through chronic illness, trauma, faith, and the search for healing. After a serious health crisis following breast implant surgery, Dr. Kate spent years navigating chronic illness and multiple diagnoses. But as she began looking more closely at her health, she also started asking deeper questions about the experiences that had shaped her long before she ever became sick. She reflects on childhood adversity, the drive to push through and perform, and how the very qualities that help us survive difficult seasons can sometimes make it harder to recognize what we need. Together, Brittany and Dr. Kate explore the connection between our physical health, emotional experiences, faith, and identity. They talk about the cost of always being the strong one, what happens when illness becomes part of how we see ourselves, and how we can acknowledge what we're going through without letting it define our entire story. This isn't a conversation about finding one perfect answer or pretending healing is simple. It's about making room for the whole person, becoming curious about our own stories, and recognizing that we can honor what we've been through while still moving toward something new. Because our hardest experiences may shape us, but they don't have to be the only thing that defines us. 🤍 If this episode encouraged you, we'd love to hang out with you more!
