Rachel Taylor, registered nurse and childbirth educator, joins us to discuss her book "After Baby Comes" which bridges the gap between healthcare models and mothers' needs during the critical "fourth trimester." Her practical guidance serves as an essential resource not just for new parents but for anyone seeking to improve their communication skills and relationships.

• The fourth trimester extends beyond the traditional six-week postpartum period, with mothers healing for up to two years after birth
• Distinguishing between baby blues (affecting 80% of mothers in first three weeks) versus postpartum depression and anxiety which typically emerge later
• Modern parents face unrealistic expectations from social media influencers showing seemingly perfect postpartum experiences
• "I feel" statements create vulnerability and connection instead of defensiveness and distance in relationships
• Setting boundaries protects your wellbeing rather than punishing others—and can be done with kindness
• New fathers need space to develop their own parenting style without criticism
• Practical ways to support new parents: focus on the mother's wellbeing, offer specific help, and respect boundaries
• Communication skills from "After Baby Comes" benefit all relationships, not just those involving newborns

Mary Marantz joins us to share insights from her new book "Underestimated: The Surprisingly Simple Shift to Quit Playing Small, Name the Fear, and Move Forward," revealing how we can overcome the invisible barriers that keep us from reaching our full potential.

Mary is a Yale Law School graduate and the first in her immediate family to go to college. She is the bestselling author of the book “Dirt” about growing up in West Virginia and the highly-anticipated follow up "Slow Growth Equals Strong Roots." She is also the host of the wildly popular podcast The Mary Marantz Show.

Join our conversation to discuss:

• Fear is a "boring liar" that uses the same broken scripts on everyone
• The "missing handbook for life" concept explains why we constantly second-guess ourselves 
• "Slow growth equals strong roots" - why consistency matters more than overnight success
• Excellence combined with consistency creates an unstoppable formula
• People-pleasing and "making ourselves small" keeps us from our purpose
• Criticism hurts but isn't fatal - most people can't see your vision until it's complete
• You don't need anyone's permission to pursue your unique calling

Meet Susan Binkley, the author of "From My Front Row Seat: A Collection of Stories from My Time Working Alongside Women in Recovery."

For the past two decades, Susan Binkley has been faithfully working to restore the lives of women and their children who have suffered from trauma, addiction, and abuse. In the mid-90s, Susan had a powerful, God-given dream that described in great detail how one might put together a program like Blue Monarch. At the time Susan realized this dream was like no other, but she didn’t understand the significance of it until years later when the dream miraculously came together in real life. Blue Monarch’s long-term, residential treatment program is unique in its dual focus on both the mother’s and the child’s recovery, creating a path toward lasting transformation and freedom from destructive cycles. Through the power of faith, prayer, and community, Susan has witnessed nearly 1,000+ women and children find healing, with over 350 children reunited with their mothers, who had previously lost custody.

In addition to its holistic recovery program, Blue Monarch empowers women through its on-site business, Out of the Blue Granola, a hand-crafted product distributed in major grocery chains like Whole Foods and Publix. All of the women who work to craft the Out of the Blue products are graduates or residents of Blue Monarch and each package of granola has a card with the testimony/picture of a Blue Monarch graduate enclosed.

Ever wondered how a love for coupons could blossom into a wildly popular website with millions of loyal fans? Laurie Hise, the savvy CEO behind passionatepennypincher.com, joins us to share her remarkable transformation from a modest coupon blogger into a business leader who helps millions of people save money every day.

I met Laurie 14 years ago at a conference when she was just beginning her business. She reminded me of my younger self, full of enthusiasm about the idea of making it easy for other moms to save money in every area of their household budget. BUT Laurie did more than grocery deals--on top of doing that, she grew her business with dozens of team members to search out little-known deals on EVERYTHING and produced an extensive line of organizational products.

She was generous enough to agree to come on this podcast, which was so much fun for me. She's kind, beautiful, brilliant, and incredibly generous. Profits from the company support many charities across the world. I'm so inspired by the progress she has made in 14 years, and I believe her story and experience may inspire other people to take the bold step of faith to put their talents into action to help other people, while building a profitable company.

Recently I subscribed to her newsletter to see if there were deals I would use. I snagged an unbelievable deal on a fabulous purse thanks to Laurie's newsletter (it cost $16 if you must know, and one of my friends who loves expensive things complimented me on it. I didn't tell her the price). Beyond finding deals, Laurie went on to create an extensive line of high-quality home organization products and planners. She sent me a big box of the company's organizational and menu-planning products and they are beautiful and practical.
