Summary

295: In this solo episode, I’m sharing a personal life update and opening up about a really challenging season. Over the past few months, I’ve been navigating the loss of my mom after her long battle with cancer, while also dealing with a toxic mold situation in our home that led to health concerns and unexpected legal stress. I talk about my mom’s journey, what this experience has taught me about health, faith, and resilience, and what it’s been like processing grief while pregnant. I also share more about discovering the mold and how it’s impacted our lives. This episode is a more personal, behind-the-scenes look at what life has been like lately and how I’m moving forward through it all. Topics Discussed: → Grief and losing a parent after a long cancer journey → Navigating pregnancy during an emotional season → Faith, resilience, and mindset through hardship → Toxic mold exposure and its impact on health and housing → Legal challenges and starting over after unexpected life changes Sponsored By: → Function | Own your health for $365 a year.

0:00.0	All right. This episode is going to be a hard one for me to get through. If you've been following me
0:04.1	on Instagram, you know that it has been a really rough couple of months, probably the worst time of my
0:09.1	life, honestly. I was unable to share a lot about my mom because my mom is very private and did not
0:14.2	want people to know what she was battling and going through. I'm going to share what I feel like
0:19.7	she would be okay with me sharing. I also asked
0:22.1	my dad for permission to share her story. We found mold in our bathroom, January 6th. The mold situation
0:28.2	has escalated very quickly into a place of my husband and I never thought it would get to. A lawsuit

1:02.5	lost my brother at 21. And this has probably been the hardest couple months of my life.
1:13.3	Also, I realized that I haven't wanted a proper intro.
1:16.6	Hello, friends.
1:17.2	Welcome back to another episode of the Real Foodology podcast.

1:28.5	I did not share a lot.
