Welcome to our new season on the show! For my return listeners you might have noticed the break we took between our last season. I wanted to drop in with a solo episode and talk about why I took a short pause…which the title might say it all.

So we are back at it, the show of course continues…we had a little pause in releasing episodes over the last months, as some really big things have been happening and well… I might as well come out and say it. I AM PREGNANT!

It is such a blessing and I am overjoyed to share this news to you. Altho ugh this episode isn't just for that. I wanted this episode to be valuable and actually share how I got here. I mean some might think…well we know how you got here, but actually there is much more to it than that. So I'm going to get personal and share things that I feel can be helpful for anyone either on the journey of fertility and wanting to have a family or anyone that is struggling to conceive. First I must say, I have such compassion for those that have struggled, just through this process I have become utterly grateful and blessed for our journey and I'm aware for many it has been a struggle and emotional rollercoaster. So my hope is that by what I share today it can provide some hope, confidence and the knowledge of the steps you can take to possibly help your outcome.

In this episode I discuss:

• Becoming pregnant and how I got here
• What I did to prepare my body
• The exact supplements I took
• The lifestyle changes I made
• Surrendering to God in this journey
• Timeline to prepare

I know today's episode is a sensitive subject for so many and you are listening to this most likely because either you yourself are struggling or know someone else that is and you care to help them out. What my guest and I talked about today is the struggle of emotional eating, binge eating, and common eating disorders that are destroying people's health and overall wellbeing. My guest personally has experienced the struggle and now helps thousands of women heal their relationship with food.

Her podcast "The No Sugarcoating Podcast" has 2+ million downloads, over 500 episodes and is listened to in over 90 countries.

Amber overcame her own emotional eating after gaining and losing more than 1000 lbs and spending over $50,000 on binge foods, and spending 5 years balancing her hormones and digestion. She also dismantled her deep limiting beliefs and behaviors keeping her stuck in the same looping patterns. Now she helps others achieve the biggest healing miracles of Body Freedom™ so they have the confidence and health to create amazing lives.
