Welcome back to Her Health, Her Way.
Today’s episode is different. It’s heavier. It's Vulnerable. And honestly…it might be the most important story we’ve ever shared.

This week, I sat down with my sweet friend Brittany and her three-year-old daughter, Paisley, a tiny warrior who’s been fighting for her life since the moment she arrived at 31 weeks. Born with kidney failure after the heartbreaking loss of her identical twin sister, Paisley has survived brain bleeds, major surgeries, failed recoveries, multiple resuscitations, and nearly 1,000 nights of at-home peritoneal dialysis… before most kids even learn their ABCs.

And yet?
She smiles. She fights. She shines.

In this episode, Brittany opens her heart and walks us through their journey; the miracles, the medical battles, the grief, the hope, the exhaustion, the advocacy, and the relentless love that keeps her going. She shares the reality of caring for a medically complex child, why she herself cannot donate, and how changes in the pediatric transplant system have made the wait longer and more urgent than ever.

You’ll hear us talk about:

- What life looks like for families managing dialysis every single night

- The emotional toll and the unbelievable strength behind it

- The misconceptions around organ donation

- How living donation actually works

- Why sharing this episode may be the first small step toward Paisley’s miracle

And most importantly:
Paisley needs a kidney.
A real, life-saving, future-changing kidney.

This conversation is raw, intimate, emotional, and unbelievably inspiring. It’s not just about one little girl... It's about every family fighting silently behind closed doors, every caregiver running on empty, and every miracle we don’t always see.

If you listen to any episode this holiday season… let it be this one.

Our Christmas wish is simple: help us spread the word.
Share this episode. Send it to someone who might know someone. Post it. Talk about it.
You never know whose share could be the one that changes everything for Paisley.

Your vet told you essential oils would kill your cat. But what if they were wrong?

Dr. Janet Roark went from skeptical veterinarian to “The Essential Oil Vet” after oils literally saved her life. Now she’s using them in her practice on dogs, cats, birds - even exotic pets - with incredible results.

In this myth-busting episode, Dr. Roark reveals:

Why most vets are STILL getting it wrong about oils The exact dilution ratios that make oils SAFE for pets Her first “miracle” case that changed everything Which oils she uses for anxious pets (goodbye thunderstorm panic!) How to support aging pets WITHOUT endless medications Why she walked away from traditional practice The ONE brand she trusts after testing hundreds

Plus she answers YOUR burning questions:

•Can I diffuse around my cat? (The answer will shock you)

•What about dogs’ sensitive noses?

•Which oils should NEVER go near pets?

•How to introduce oils to a skeptical pet (or spouse!)

Whether you’re scared to diffuse around your fur babies or tired of your vet pushing medications for everything, this episode gives you the confidence to use natural solutions safely.

I never thought a grocery store could make me cry, but this conversation did. Today I’m sitting down with my friend Lindsay Hutchinson, founder of People’s Provisions in Perry County, the sweetest little grocery with a giant heart.

We talk about building a store that feels like grandma’s kitchen, connecting farmers to eaters, and a brave pay it forward model where families choose what they need and farmers still get paid. If you’ve ever wondered how local food can be both delicious and truly accessible, this is the episode.

What moved me most is how simple choices, like asking “Is this price okay,” can restore dignity and feed an entire county. This is community care in action, and I want more towns to have it.


What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
• How People’s Provisions grew from pop ups to a beloved neighborhood grocery
• The pay it forward fund that lets customers choose their price while farmers are paid in full
• Practical ways to start eating local, even if you don’t live near a farm
• Why seasonal foods are better for your body, your budget, and your spirit
• Easy convenience wins, soups and salads that make weeknights doable
• Founder lessons on trusting your mission, serving with dignity, and growing slow

Welcome back to Her Health, Her Way.

In this episode, I’m joined by my husband, Nick, and yes, I actually convinced him to try a castor oil pack for the first time. We’re walking through exactly how to use doTERRA’s new Castor Oil for detox, better sleep, and lymphatic support. You’ll also hear how it fits into our 90 Day Reset program that we’re currently doing together.

We talk about how castor oil supports liver health, how to apply it safely, and why purity matters when it comes to essential oils. Nick also shares his honest reaction to sleeping in a castor oil pack overnight, and it’s definitely worth the listen.

If you’ve been curious about detoxing, supporting your liver, or learning how to use essential oils more effectively, this episode will give you the practical steps to start right away.

🎧 What you’ll hear:
✔️ How castor oil works and why it’s unique
✔️ How I apply it safely for detox and lymphatic support
✔️ Why doTERRA quality matters for results
✔️ How to pair castor oil with Revitazen for deeper detox
✔️ Nick’s first experience with a castor oil pack

🌿 Mentioned in this episode:

🧴 Directions for Use:
Use 2 tablespoons of castor oil on your pack and add 1–2 drops of Revitazen.

Women in Bailey’s program have reversed diabetes and lost over 20 pounds without Ozempic, shakes, or starving themselves. This is the real food solution you’ve been searching for.

In this episode of Her Health, Her Way, I talk with Bailey, a homeschooling mom of six who cracked the code on sustainable weight loss and vibrant health after yo-yo dieting her entire life. She went from desperation to creating a system that helps women lose 18 to 23 pounds in just 4 to 6 weeks, restore their energy, and balance hormones naturally.

🎧 What you’ll learn:
✔️ The #1 Macro Secret: How to lose weight by focusing on just one macro (not counting calories or carbs) and never feel hungry
✔️ Real, Rapid Results: Women losing 20+ lbs, reversing diabetes (A1C from 7.1 to 5.6), and regaining energy in weeks
✔️ The Ozempic Comparison: Why this real food approach is a safer, more sustainable alternative to weight loss drugs
