Summary

On today's episode, I spoke with Joey Odom, one of the visionaries behind Aro, a tech company with a refreshing mission, helping us disconnect from our phones to truly connect with each other.

0:00.0	If you're pregnant postpartum or planning to be, or you've got a friend in that season, listen
0:04.3	up. There's a lot in motherhood that we can't control, but your nutrition, that's a powerful
0:08.9	place to start. That's why I've been raving about the company needed. I wish I'd had needed
0:13.8	when I was in that chapter. Their starter plan is a total game changer, a comprehensive prenatal
0:19.4	multi, plus the high quality omega-3 designed to meet
0:22.7	the real nutritional demands of pregnancy and beyond. It's not the bare minimum stuff that most
0:27.3	prenatals offer. This is optimal evidence-based nourishment that actually supports mom and baby.
0:32.9	Trusted by over 6,000 women's health practitioners from midwives to obese, they're raising the bar for women's
0:38.6	wellness. And personally, because I'm out of the prenatal and postpartum, I love their women's
0:43.6	omega-3, collagen, and stress support. They have an entire section for women's health supplements
0:49.1	on their website. So if you've been looking for a supplement that checks all the boxes,

1:23.4	to learn those same lessons. And honestly, Acorns Early makes it easy. Acorns Early is the
1:29.1	smart debit card and money app that grows with your kids. It starts with a super simple in-app chores
1:34.6	tracker, so they learn the value of a dollar right away. My daughter's already saving up for a new
1:39.1	bike, and she's so proud every time she marks a chore complete and sees her progress. They can set savings goals,
1:45.2	earn their money, and spend it with a customizable debt card, all while you, the parents,
