    More Than "Single"

    According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 46.4% of adults are single. Population trends are similar worldwide. While there are different demographics within being "Single" such as Divorced, Widowed and Never Married and each have unique challenges, there is much overlap.  In this episode we talk to Sarah who is single and has never been married. Sarah has an amazing perspective on life and shares with us her challenges and blessings.  Any of us who have experienced life not going the way we may have planned or expected can relate to this and benefit from Sarah's positive outlook on life and how she has made her life beautiful. Sarah also shares with us ways that those of us who are not single can be supportive to our friends and family members who are single. We are so grateful to Sarah for talking with us and sharing her experiences and wisdom! We learned so much from her! She is amazing!! For anyone who may be single and not have a support network you can go to  https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/welcome/find-a-church?lang=eng    to find your local ward or branch of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and call the Bishop who will have ways that you can receive support.

    What's Eating You?

    In this episode we talk to McKenna who shares about her life changing weight loss journey in which she lost 85 pounds. She shares how this journey and all she has learned through it has blessed her life. McKenna takes a more individualistic and spiritual approach to weight loss. As we take our struggles with weight and health to the Lord, he will help us to find the solutions. Sometimes we need to get to the root cause of why we're not able to lose weight or why we're gaining weight, or what else may be going on and address that first. What works for some people may not be the answer for others.  In this more personal way we can discover what will ultimately help us on our journey to become healthier and stronger.  We want to thank McKenna for coming on and talking to us and sharing her health journey with us in such a raw and real way.  We had so much fun and loved talking to her! You definitely don't want to miss this episode which really can be applied to most of us as we all seek to be healthier! McKenna does a 12 week course to help people on their weight loss journey and mentors people to help them find their own solutions.
