I'm a state home mom of two wife to my high school sweetheart and a current nursing student in hopes to become an RN in the next few years. My name is Valerie and I am a miraculous home.

Hey everyone, welcome back to the miraculous mama's podcast. I'm your host Elizabeth Joy and we are so happy that you are joining us here today.

I have two guests on today that I'm excited to tell you about but for those of you just tuning in miraculous mama's is a podcast that believes in empowering women through storytelling and education. It's so important for us to share our stories. It's what brings us together in community and makes us feel a lot less alone in whatever situation that we're in. I know that the majority of the people listening are trying to conceive or pregnant new mom.

So even have kids a little bit older and dealing with things that come up during parenting and there's so many different seasons and we have women on all different walks of life a part of this and it's so nice to hear the stories of women who have gone before us or even after us giving us really good advice and then the educators that come on to help us just be the best versions of ourselves.

Love it be a part of our community who would get something out of it and also don't forget to follow us on the miraculous mama's Instagram page and to join our community in our Facebook group.

So as I said, we have two different guests on today. The first one is Amy Klein with give her courage and I just wanted her to come on to share what their company is doing. It's an amazing company and it's for teens or just girls in that phase of life between junior high high school and what they're doing and what they're offering not only to the teens but to the moms is absolutely amazing.

I'm just going to come on quick and share what they're doing with their company and then I have Chelsea acts coming on. I know you guys heard from her husband.

Dr. acts back in December while Chelsea's on and she is pregnant. So Dr. Chelsea acts is pregnant and she's going to talk to us about natural family planning.

I had heard a lot about and I guess I hadn't really talked to somebody who had used it and had a lot of knowledge behind it and she shares their story with it how they used it to prevent pregnancy and then to plan pregnancy.

And then she addresses a few other things for us such as taking college and just different supplements if they're safe during pregnancy and what they can do. How does stay healthy during pregnancy with the different food cravings and that first trimester with nausea and all the things that come up and also keeping our family healthy.

This has been the worst flu season that the United States has ever seen and people are dropping like flies out there. So the health does begin at home keeping yourself and your family healthy is so important.

And then we touch on a little bit just using clean product stirring pregnancy. So a great episode for you guys today. We're going to start off with Amy talking with this and then we will get into Chelsea.

I have Amy Klein here. She is a CEO and co founder of give her courage. Give her courage is a retail and educational company with a mission to instill strong smart and bold girls which we need more of in the world from the start and to grow a movement of women lifting each other up for a better future, which is so important.

I love what you guys are doing. So thank you so much for coming on Amy and talking with us about this.

So my I'm so happy to be here. Thanks for having me on. Yeah, of course. I'm so glad that you took the time to come on. I would love for you to tell us how you started give her courage. What I guess what it really is.

Yeah, of course. Well, I think you did a great job of recapping what our company is, but you know, give her courage in general. It's both educational and retail and the mission just like you said, it's really to instill courage and confidence in our girls from the start.

So that they can go to be whatever they want in this world. And we'll talk a little bit about that kind of how we got started and why why that mission.

And then really just you hit on that pretty well too is just to create more momentum and a movement of women supporting women because you know, we rise by lifting each other up. So those are two that's those are missions of the company.

It's both educational and retail. So on the educational side, we have children's books that we wrote for girls. One, just be you, which is out right now, teaching girls all about how to embrace their imperfections and love themselves and who they are and also support their friends as well.

We have be daring darling coming out this spring and then perfectly imperfect, which comes out in the summer again be daring darling is teaching girls to take risks calculated risks, I should say.

Yeah.
