Did you know cramping, mood swings, clotting, and pain are actually NOT a part of a healthy menstruation cycle?! Instead, they're your body's way of indicating that something's off and needs your attention. If you're like me and you've experienced these (or other) PMS symptoms, or if you're wanting to have a family one day, I encourage you to listen to this episode!

In today's conversation, we talk about all things menstrual cycle and fertility health. From what the heck is actually going on during the menstruation cycle, to what a healthy and unhealthy cycle looks like, to fertility cleanses and more!

This is a great topic to start off the New Year and to end Season 1! Follow me on social media @Whitney McDermott where I'll be announcing the launch of Season 2.

“God wastes nothing, He just gets you ready.”

In seasons of waiting, it’s not hard to see everything we’re lacking. But what would change in our hearts and lives if we began to see these waiting seasons as an invitation from God? An invitation to partner with Him on adventures we never could’ve dreamt of ourselves. Adventures God uses to shape us into the best versions of ourselves and to reveal His greatest desires for us.

My friend and guest, Kara Zick, said “Yes” to partnering with God in her season of singleness, and today we get to hear about the practicality of what partnering with God can look like and how we can use our waiting seasons to prepare us for what’s to come.

It's that time of the year again... food comas, family gatherings, and holiday parties. If  we're not careful, we'll be so busy "doing" that we forget to enjoy the moment. To make time for the people + the things that matter most. 

As single women, the holidays can come with a variety of emotions as we try to navigate them the best we can. Today, I give you my most tried + true tips on making this the best holiday season you've ever had. 

There may be less than two months left of 2022 filled with long to-do lists and packed schedules, but don't miss the amazing things God still has in store for you in the remaining weeks just ahead!
