    Kidney Cancer Awareness- risk, prevention of cancer/kidney cancer & Justin's early signs/symptoms

    In this episode, I want to spotlight #kidneycancerawareness  by sharing some #evidencebased information about risk associated with #cancer in general and #kidneycancer specifically. Alongside this information, I share about our own #cancerstory and the early signs of Justin's #rarecancer - non-clear renal cell carcinoma with Rhabdoid features/differentiation. I also share my own insights as a #healtheducator on #healthylifestyle approaches to prevent and #fightcancer including a diet rich in #plantbasedfoods / high in #fiber as well as avoiding known and probable carcinogens. That and of course learn more about your own risk of cancer including getting genetic testing done to know what you might be at higher risk for.  #widow #widowmom #widowjourney #loveofmylife #sadlovestory #storytime #healthcoach #healthcoaching #healthandwellness #griefandloss #griefjourney #cancerprevention #healthyeating #cancersucks #kidneycancerawarenessmonth

    Healthy Relationships Make You Healthier AND Require Resolving Conflict in Positive Ways

    Conflict is a normal part of any close relationship. Whether it is your romantic partnership/marriage, a close friendship, a siblingship, or any other close or working relationship--we all would benefit from being able to face conflict head on in healthy ways.  In this video I share about my personal journey in how I've learned to resolve conflict effectively in my personal life--starting from my observations of conflict and the lack of resolution I witnessed growing up with an abusive alcoholic dad, to my early 20's when I started realizing how whenever conflict would arise, I often became defensive and was unable to take accountability in those moments, to marrying my soul mate and late husband and how we figured it out together. At the end of this audio podcast, I share the framework Justin and I came up with that helped us keep our relationship healthy and helped us resolve conflict without being as apprehensive to face it when issues did (inevitably) arise.  #relationships #marriage #love #friendship #conflictresolution #resolvingconflicts #respect #parenting #griefandloss #widow #widowjourney #widowmom #healthandwellness #healthy #alcoholism #adultchildrenofalcoholics #acoa #adultchildofabuse #cancerstories #cancer #kidneycancer #kidneycancerawareness

    Social Support and Wellness: how more community supports your health & wellness- Discussions from health coach/educator & widow mom

    I share about my own journey having little support after losing my husband to #kidneycancer, raising small children as a #widowmom and compare that to how it is now after moving from Phoenix, AZ to #portlandoregon and gaining a lot more support for me and the kids. I also include a little bit of info I found about how evidence shows that when we feel like we have good social supports around us, we have better #healthandwellness outcomes. I wrap it up with a little #gratitude #mindfulness #meditation  Join me and I'd love to hear from you on how having support or a lack of support is affecting or has affected your quality of life and #wellness!  #widow #widowjourney #grief #griefandloss #cancersucks #cancerstories #kidneycancerawareness #healthcoach #healtheducator #evidencebased #thevillage #millenials #millenialmom #parenting #resilience #lifeishard  iamfrommud.com IG: @_from_mud_ Podcast: Apple Podcast

    Tales of a Widow: The first month after losing my husband; life as a new widow mom to toddlers

    In this episode I share what life was like for me as a new widow in the immediate aftermath of losing my husband. I share about how I prepared my 3 and 1 year old ahead of time as well as when I had to tell them the news of their dad's passing, what helped us in our initial mourning period, and I talk about an unexpected loss in that the people closest to us--my in-laws began distancing from my children and I when we needed them most --and how I coped with it all.
