    Pediatric Cancer, Having Twins, and Raising Four Kids with Lauren Palmer

    My long-time friend Lauren Palmer is on the show today to share her family's incredible story. In 2017, she announced her twin pregnancy with her husband Joel.

She's also talking about her own experiences with therapy, her amazingly supportive husband, and how she left a career working on the Las Vegas strip to pursue her dream of supporting individuals and families through marriage and family therapy.  Check out more from Lindsey on Instagram at @lindsey_paoli and Facebook at @fundamentalhealthLV.

    Olympic Champion Shannon Miller

    We remember Shannon Miller as a teenager on the U.S. Olympic Gymnastics Team (you know, the Magnificent Seven?) - but these days, she's a wife, mom of two, lawyer, women's health advocate... and cancer survivor. In the time that has passed since those moments when we all held our breaths as we watched our televisions with anticipation, Shannon Miller has had some defining moments in her life. Her company, Shannon Miller Worldwide, advocates for women to prioritize their health - and to not feel selfish for doing so. But you'll be surprised to hear the story of her cancer diagnosis and how she navigated her cancer treatment with a 14 month old at home. In this episode of the Influential Motherhood podcast, Shannon is giving us an update on her life since the Olympic games, what it was like to be a teenage athlete under pressure, why she went to law school, and how she used her training in sport to beat cancer. Shannon is every bit as lovely as you might guess, and I'm grateful that she's sharing her story.
