The Julie Jeppson Podcast

Welcome to the JULIE JEPPSON podcast. So glad you're here. After a heartbreaking loss in the summer of 2022, my 8 kids and I are picking up the pieces of our former lives and moving forward. In this podcast, I interview Gritty Mamas from all over who have pushed, pulled, endured, persisted, insisted, and MOMINATED some pretty impossible burdens. These women are survivors and their stories deserve to be heard. My hope is that you can hear their stories and walk away inspired and uplifted by their capacity to KEEP GOING, no matter what. Because you can too. There's also hidden gems within this podcast with my own children, my parents, mental health experts, spiritual health and wellness mentors, relationship specialists, and other exceptional GRITTY professionals. I come from Grit. My ancestors are the definition of it. So here, I'm taking back my name and my power and I intend to use it to help you remember, too, of the gritty mamas who have gone before you, who will come behind you, but most of all, the gritty mama inside you.

    Episode 24: From Trash to Triumph: A Mom's Story of Having a Trans Child in Utah

    Talking to Candice Bithell was eye opening. She helped me see things in a new light and different perspective. As an infant, she was thrown in the trash when she was 2 days old, and later grew up in an abusive home. After overcoming her own trials and meeting and marrying her husband, she had to learn to manage kids learning to navigate their identity, her faith, and balancing culture and love all at the same time. She is amazing..

    Episode 23: IT WASN'T MY BABY

    I have so much respect for Megan Phillips. After learning that her younger sister was born without a uterus, she knew she would have a baby for her. After having 4 of her own, including twins, she became the surrogate for her sister and delivered a healthy baby boy. She discusses her journey of loneliness, empowerment, discomfort, selflessness, and JOY. I'm so dang proud of her.

    Episode 21: THE LUCKIEST MAN ON EARTH: LIVING WITH ALS

    https://thompsontough.org/ IG: @erikthompsontough   First of all, I'm SO SORRY about the sound. I forgot my mic and he was soft spoken so I apologize. But it was truly awe-inspiring to be in the presence of Erik Thompson and his wife, Skye. It was a different approach, but I wanted to hear about Erik's story and learn about how Skye has had to deal with it. Erik has turned tragedy into something beautiful. His relationships with his boys, his wife, and his savior have deepened. His testimony has been strengthened, even amidst all the physical and emotional pain. He is the definition of Grit and his wife is right there beside him fully locked and loaded with Grit and Strength. I love them both.

    EPISODE 20: MY DAD DIED ON EVEREST, HIS BODY IS STILL THERE.

    I think it's fitting that TODAY, marks the 5th anniversary of Don Cash's death on Mount Everest.  This episode speaks for itself. Don Cash had no regrets. He held nothing back and literally lived life to its fullest. His daughter Brandi talks about his courage and how he became a better Dad the more he dominated on the mountains, and even in death. She talks about being single for a long time, and having an unmedicated birth at home on her FIRST BABY! She is proud of her Dad, and of the mother she's become and is on her way to inspiring thousands of people everywhere on her new MoonLight Ranch!

    Episode 18: Everyday with Joy | Her Life will Never be the Same.

    Joy Davis talks about how her husband knew they would always have a child with disabilities. After Emery was progressing as a toddler, she suffered a stroke in surgery and was never the same.

    Episode 17: AFTER FINISHING HER SEXUAL ASSAULT EXAM, I WASHED HER FEET

    Dr. Julie Valentine is a forensic nurse and mother to 8 children. I was seriously not worthy to be in her presence! She mothered 8 children, and got a PHD with a 2 year old in tow, and thanks to her efforts, the largest state database on sexual assault cases exists in the United States. But it's always about her patients. I was in awe of her capacity to love them, and help them find healing, and she gives a word of warning to those who may be suffering from domestic violence, and don't know it.
