    How We Met, Marriage, and Our First Pregnancy | Ellie & Drew Hester

    Welcome to the very first episode of The Nurtured Mama Podcast! To kick things off, I’m joined by my husband, Drew, for a fun conversation about how we met, our early years of marriage, and navigating our first pregnancy. We laugh through some of our favorite stories, share what we’ve learned along the way, and even dive into Drew’s honest advice for guys who may have gotten a little lazy in life and marriage. This episode is your chance to get to know us, laugh along, and catch the heart and energy behind what this whole podcast is all about. In this episode, we talk about marriage, but nothing you hear is intended to be taken as marriage advice. If you’re facing challenges in your relationship—especially serious situations like abuse—please seek support from a licensed professional counselor, a trusted medical professional, or, if needed, law enforcement. You can also reach out to local crisis hotlines or national organizations such as the National Domestic Violence Hotline for immediate help. We also recorded this conversation several months ago, so if you hear us mention dates or timing that don’t quite match up, that’s why. Lastly, this episode is simply our story. The experiences and events we share are personal, and they’re not meant to be taken as medical advice. Please use your own judgment and common sense as you listen.
