Summary:
This is episode #19 and today, I am hanging out with the always beautiful Heather Ford, who is my FIRST returning guest! Last time she spoke with us, on episode number 3, she was still a Miss, and nowadays she is officially a Mrs, but that is not the ONLY new thing for Heather, which is why I needed to have her back on the podcast!
Heather is the creator and sustainer of the Modern Life Mrs Blog and Lifestyle Brand. And last time we hung out, we spoke about her experience with ulcerative colitis and how it has influenced her life professionally, and personally. Heather was so incredibly transparent in that interview, and her experience with an autoimmune struggle turned out to be an amazing inspiration to others who are figuring out their own wellness journeys.
Today, I am asking Heather to focus specifically on what she has learned since we last spoke about how to manage her own colitis, AND we will also be talking about practical tips for living a more natural lifestyle, especially as it relates to being an expecting mama! That’s right, this lady has a little one on the way!! And so as you can imagine, we have a LOT of catching up to do! So, listen in as we chat about her health and wellness journey as an autoimmune warrior and mama to be!
