You're listening to the Heart and Hustle podcast. We are your host, Evie McLeod and Lindsay Roman.

Welcome back to another episode. We are just so excited every single week we get to jump in and learn and grow and chat with you, our friends. So today we got to have an incredible conversation with a new friend, Madison Weatherill. She is the voice behind Cook-At-Home

mom, where she inspires busy families to make wholesome, delicious meals with ease. She is based

in Arizona, a wife and a mom of three boys who knows the juggle of family life and meal time chaos.

Her blog features approachable flavor-packed meals, many gluten-free recipes, Whole 30, and paleo

features in places like Redfin and Top Industry podcasts, Madison shares meal plans, cooking

tips, and strategies to simplify healthy eating. She also hosts the Vine podcast and runs a second blog, Joyfully Mad, continuing her mission to make home cooking easy, joyful, and full of flavor.
