Ditch your teen anxieties to become the best version of yourself and face the future with confidence and excitement! It’s hard to be a teenager. You’re expected to act like an adult, but you’re still at the mercy of parents and teachers who treat you like a child. You feel pressured to live up to the label that others have given you, when in your heart you know that’s not really who you are. So many other things make your teen years painful–falling in love and not being loved back, feeling you’re not good enough, being awkward when what you really want is to be the coolest kid in the room….

Do you want to use your faith to have a natural childbirth, no matter the environment you end up in? Going through my youngest daughter’s birth without the support of my spouse was a life changing and faith growing experience. I made changes to my birth plan to accommodate my change in location, having my young son in tow, and needing additional support for the labor and delivery. Having the support of midwives, the flexibility of birthing at a center, and the power of prayer made all the difference in my experience.

So, let me set the stage. I’m in a meeting with no less than 15 people sitting around a giant conference table; my turn to brief is approaching. I am briefing my boss and the senior staff; he happens to be a 3-Star General, and, by the way, I am the only female in the room. I start feeling warm, but warm is an understatement; it’s like my blood is starting to boil; I immediately think that the thermostat has gone wild, but no one else is reacting or sweating.

Despite being relatively unheard of, endometriosis affects an estimated one in 10 women worldwide. That's roughly 190 million people, and due to misdiagnosis, there's likely many more who are suffering without treatment. Getting a diagnosis of endometriosis can feel like a blessing and a curse. Knowing that you're not going crazy or blowing things out of proportion can be a huge relief. However, a diagnosis can also lead to feelings of isolation and discouragement - especially when you’re faced with treatment options that seem extreme. But don't despair - you aren't alone.

Great resource for all Moms
As a mother, this is an excellent tool to have when giving birth. I think all mothers should listen this so they're prepared if they go through PPD. They'll be assured that they are going to be ok and they really are not alone. It may even make the difference for someone regarding treatment. They may just need to listen this and feel relieved they will get through it. I'm glad this was spoke.
