Meet Petra; A story about seizures, AMPS, Dysautonomia & perseverance!

She’s got plenty of arrows in her quiver! Meet Petra, a mom in the midst of her momsday moment! Her sweet Anna started having seizures at age 14, and thus began the bronco ride that has lasted longer than eight seconds. From epilepsy to a functional neurological disorder diagnosis then onto AMPS, and finally Dysautonomia. Living their lives from one doctor’s office to the next Petra has one of the most positive outlooks you could ask for! Listen now to how one mom is preserving on the journey to healing and hope. 

Teenagers are My People!

Don’t dig up more snakes than you can kill! Mommy guilt, teenagers and SURRENDER are the big themes in this episode! So many different cultures remind us to surrender the pain, surrender the control, surrender to expectations. That thing that is holding you back in motherhood is the thing you are holding onto. Keri talks about letting it go in order to stay present in motherhood. 
 

Meet Niambi; A story about asthma, mourning, strength and faith!

Lord willing and the creek don’t rise! Meet Niambi. This fierce momma had to face her momsday moment in the midst of a global pandemic. She had to navigate planning a funeral for her child while holding her family up under extreme global upheaval.  After a journey of exploration, deep prayer, and healing, Niambi has declared authority over her grief. She recently took part in an inspirational anthology titled Covered by Scars: A Diamond Revealed by Raylonda McClinton. Check it out on Amazon!

Trauma is Keri's Middle Name

She’s got some snap in her garters! It isn’t about what happened to you, it’s about how your nervous system reacted to what happened to you. Trauma with a big T has long lasting effects on the mind, body and soul. In the past decade alone, Keri has lived through big T traumas like childhood cancer, natural disasters, spousal addiction, and her child's critical injuries resulting from a pedestrian versus motor vehicle accident.  Healing is one of the Momsday Prepper PREPS! Healing is instrumental to surviving, then thriving, a momsday moment. Keri talks about CBT therapy, Yoga, Somatic Massage, Meditation, Tapping and EMDR. Welcome Bunkmates!
