    From American Idol to Identity in Christ: Madison Watkins’ Unfiltered Story

    What happens when you finally get the thing you thought you wanted… and realize it still isn’t enough? In this special episode of Crunchy Moms Unfiltered, recorded at Alive Music Festival, we sit down with Christian artist and former American Idol Top 12 finalist Madison Watkins for a raw conversation about fame, faith, surrender, and choosing who God called you to be over who the world tells you to become. Madison’s journey took her from America’s Got Talent to the American Idol stage, viral success, major brand partnerships, Los Angeles, and the mainstream music industry. From the outside, it looked like everything was falling into place. But inside, something was missing. Madison opens up about reaching a point where the music she was creating no longer felt true to who she was—and how difficult it became to express the part of her life that mattered most: her faith. Eventually, she had to make a choice. Keep chasing the version of success the industry had laid out for her… or surrender the whole thing to God. She chose surrender. Now Madison is stepping fully into Christian music, using the voice and platform she was given to openly talk about Jesus and create music that actually reflects who she is. We also spend time with Madison’s fiancé, Eli Qalo, a former U.S. Marine, as the conversation goes beyond music and into conviction, standing firm in what you believe, navigating pressure, and refusing to compromise simply because the culture tells you to. This is one of those Crunchy Moms Unfiltered conversations where faith, freedom, purpose, and speaking truth all collide. Because sometimes God doesn’t ask you to abandon the gift He gave you. He asks you to surrender who you thought you had to become in order to use it. 🎙️ Recorded live at Alive Music Festival Follow Madison Watkins: @madison_watkins Listen to Madison’s music: songwhip,com/madisonwatkins Here’s where to find us 👇🏻  • Instagram: Crunchymomsunfilteredpodcast • YouTube: Crunchymomsunfilteredpodcast  Find Brandy Bright on Instagram @healingandhomesteadingmama Find April LoConti on Instagram @thecrunchyishhealingmom JOIN OUR COMMUNITY full of other link minded others and tons of resources to give your all the knowledge to make empowered decisions.  https://www.skool.com/the-crunchy-moms-unfiltered/about?ref=4c2d934ae57346eaafc3d994ff00f0ce Leave a comment and let us know what topic you want us to tackle next!

    What happens when some of the country's most successful business leaders, investors, philanthropists, and innovators gather in one room?  In this special pop-up episode, we take you behind the scenes at the Dealmakers Conference, where we had the opportunity to connect with incredible leaders who are building businesses, creating generational wealth, and using their success to make a lasting impact.  One of our favorite conversations was with National Christian Foundation, where we sat down with Katie to discuss how families can steward their wealth with intention, create purpose-driven giving strategies, and make an impact while they're still living—not just through their legacy after they're gone.  But what surprised us most was seeing how many innovators are moving toward holistic health and wellness. From authors educating families on natural living to entrepreneurs developing groundbreaking tools for early health screening, it became clear that the future of health is shifting—and some of the biggest leaders in business are paying attention.  This episode is a glimpse into the conversations, connections, and inspiring people we met along the way. It's about legacy, stewardship, faith, innovation, and using whatever you've been given to make a difference.  In This Episode:  ✨ Building a legacy that lasts beyond money  ✨ Generational wealth and purpose-driven giving  ✨ Why more leaders are embracing holistic health  ✨ Faith-centered entrepreneurship  ✨ The power of stewardship and impact  ✨ Behind-the-scenes moments from the Dealmakers Conference  If you've ever wondered how successful leaders think about wealth, purpose, health, and leaving the world better than they found it, this episode is for you.  Listen, subscribe, and share with someone who believes success is about more than just making money—it's about making an impact. 🎙️❤️  Here’s where to find us 👇🏻  • Instagram: Crunchymomsunfilteredpodcast • YouTube: Crunchymomsunfilteredpodcast  Find Brandy Bright on Instagram @healingandhomesteadingmama Find April LoConti on Instagram @thecrunchyishhealingmom JOIN OUR COMMUNITY full of other link minded others and tons of resources to give your all the knowledge to make empowered decisions.  https://www.skool.com/the-crunchy-moms-unfiltered/about?ref=4c2d934ae57346eaafc3d994ff00f0ce Leave a comment and let us know what topic you want us to tackle next!

    From Big Food To Clean Food: Founder of Love Bird Cereal Parker Shares his Mission To Change Breakfast Forever

    This episode is one every parent needs to hear. We sat down with Parker, the founder of Lovebird Cereal, and wow… this conversation opened our eyes even more to what’s really happening inside the food industry — especially when it comes to what we’re feeding our children first thing in the morning. Before creating Lovebird, Parker worked inside major food corporations. He saw firsthand how heavily processed ingredients, dyes, sugars, preservatives, and chemicals became normalized in American breakfast foods — especially cereals marketed directly to kids. Now? He’s on a mission to change that. Not only did he create a cleaner cereal made with ingredients parents can actually pronounce, but he’s also actively working with a national breakfast organization to help schools swap unhealthy cereals for better options like Lovebird — at ZERO additional cost. And honestly… the story behind why he does this will hit you right in the heart. Parker also shares the emotional reason Lovebird donates a portion of profits from every box sold to childhood cancer initiatives, and it’s one of the most touching conversations we’ve had on the podcast. This episode dives into: What’s REALLY hiding in children’s cerealsHow food companies market unhealthy products to familiesWhy breakfast matters more than most people realizeThe ingredients parents should avoidThe future of cleaner school lunchesHow Parker left corporate food to create real changeWhy healthier food shouldn’t cost families moreThe emotional mission behind Lovebird CerealThis one is powerful, eye-opening, and honestly inspiring.

    Why Your Coffee Might Be Making You Sick (And the Clean Alternative You Haven’t Heard Of)

    What if your daily cup of coffee — the one you rely on to get through the day — is actually working against your body? In this episode of Crunchy Moms Unfiltered, we sit down with the founders of Macor Coffee, a mission-driven brand redefining what “clean coffee” really means. After struggling to find coffee that wasn’t loaded with mold, pesticides, glyphosate, heavy metals, and hidden toxins, they decided to create their own. Macor Coffee is third-party tested and intentionally sourced to be mold-free, glyphosate-free, pesticide-free, heavy metal tested, and gluten-free — raising the standard for what we should actually expect from something we consume every single day. We dive into the truth about what’s really in most coffee on the market, the hidden toxins no one is talking about, and how your daily cup can either fuel inflammation or support your body. We also break down what “third-party tested” really means, why sourcing matters more than branding, and how this company was built from a holistic, chiropractic-rooted lifestyle. In this episode, we cover the truth about mold in coffee, glyphosate and pesticide exposure, why testing matters, how Macor Coffee is changing the industry, and what to actually look for when choosing a clean coffee brand. If you’re on a healing journey, dealing with sensitivities, or just trying to make better choices for yourself and your family, this is one of the easiest swaps you can make.
