What does balance look like when you’re 10 days postpartum, your husband is nearing the end of medical school, and sleep is a work in progress? We invited Ella—a young mom of two—to share the small, repeatable routines that keep her family steady: a weekly “family council,” simple meal planning with protein-forward dinners, a 9:30 p.m. bedtime, and the kind of grace that makes hard seasons livable.
Ella walks us through how clear communication and shared priorities prevent resentment and reduce decision fatigue. We explore her practical health habits: sheet-pan dinners with sausage, sweet potatoes, and greens; daily protein smoothies; and a sleep routine anchored by an evening wind-down alarm. She also revisits a tough chapter—an appendectomy early in pregnancy—and talks about recovering with patience, accepting help, and supporting gut health with Flora Blitz to steady digestion and immunity during postpartum.
Mental health takes center stage as we trade tools that work in real life. Expect simple, proven practices: offering service to get out of your own head, naming five good things each day, scripture or uplifting audio on morning walks, breathwork to calm a stressed nervous system, and movement—whether lifting or a kitchen dance—to shift your state fast. We also highlight a sneaky game-changer: reducing sugar to stabilize mood and energy. Ella closes with two anchors worth remembering: give yourself grace in every season, and trust God’s timing when life feels uncertain.
