Ever wondered how changing your diet could transform your health? Or just HOW easy it is to make simple, healthy recipes the whole family will enjoy? Today’s episode dives into how Olivia Adriance’s journey with food not only improved her own health and well-being but became a brand loved by over a million followers.

Olivia Adriance is a recipe developer and content creator crafting the internet’s favorite gluten-free, dairy-free, and refined sugar-free recipes, which she shares with her vibrant community of food lovers. With some recipes accumulating more than 20 million views, it’s safe to say that Olivia’s approach in the kitchen resonates with us all.

In this episode, Brittany and Olivia talk about:

  • How Olivia’s journey with food transformed her health, helped clear a decade-long struggle with acne, and led to building a large and loyal following!
  • The importance of choosing quality ingredients and befriending your spice cabinet for packing flavor into healthy dishes
  • The meticulous process Olivia uses to test and perfect her recipes and why it took her seven rounds to make the perfect banana bread!
  • The challenges and joys of working with a spouse, and how finding balance by dividing responsibilities (perhaps with a glass of champagne) is the key to a successful partnership
  • Go-to recipes for date night, girl’s night, a crowd-pleasing appetizer, and the recipe Olivia’s most proud of!

This episode will give you all the inspiration you need to feel empowered in the kitchen, and maybe even take that leap of faith into a business or creative adventure that’s been calling your name.

93. Jarryd Wallace | Jumping to Gold: A Paralympian’s Record-Setting Legacy20 Aug 202400:49:33

Friends – if you’ve ever found yourself in a season of refinement, hardship, and life change (ahem… this would be ALL of us), then you know just how difficult it can be to trust that you will come out on the other side stronger and better than before. 

Jarryd Wallace is a 3x Paralympian, 4x world record holder, and a bronze medalist in the men’s 200 meters…and also happens to be Brittany’s brother. Despite facing a life-changing decision to amputate his leg at only 19 years old, Jarryd turned his adversity into triumph and is now training for his fourth games – the 2024 Paris Paralympics.

In this episode, Brittany and her brother talk about:

  • Jarryd’s remarkable backstory of being a high school athlete on track for a college scholarship and a future competing in the Olympics, to ultimately having to have his leg amputated after complications with a routine surgery
  • The journey to becoming a 3x Paralympian and 4x world record holder after losing his leg and rebuilding his life
  • What it’s like now competing as a dad, and who the real MVP is in the household 
  • All the tea on what it’s really like living in Olympic Village and a behind the scenes look at preparing for the Paris games
  • Jarryd’s top pieces of advice and encouragement for those feeling lost, hopeless, or who are in a season of adversity 

 

Jarryd’s story is a testament to the power of resilience, determination, and the human spirit. His journey from amputation to Paralympic glory is inspiration for all of us to chase our dreams, no matter the obstacles!

68. How to Spend on Your Favorite Things and Stay on Financial Track with Rachel Cruze15 Aug 202300:55:55

The B word…Budget! We all know budgets can have negative connotations, but want to know how it can support you to spend MORE on what you truly want?

That’s why I invited Rachel Cruze, daughter of financial guru Dave Ramsey (and totally one of the girlies) to the podcast today. Rachel is an expert in creating financial peace through healthy spending habits, all while still enjoying your life and having fun!

She’s here to guide us on the pathway of FREEDOM in our finances. 

We’re discussing:

  • Three steps on where to begin with budgeting, and how to obtain more freedom, not restriction, in your life

  • The clothing items she loves to invest in most - from what’s trendy to her favorite two piece set 

  • Tangible ways to save money this season - I personally can’t wait to try out some of these tips

 

I absolutely loved what Rachel said at the end of the episode: “your net worth does not define your self worth”. 

While finances are important, the number in your bank account does not define your identity. You’re invaluable, girl.

66. Unlock Your Identity: Free Yourself of People Pleasing with Britt and Cass from Her True Worth01 Aug 202300:55:25

Feeling like you can’t see past your pain? And it's causing you to overly PEOPLE PLEASE?!

We’ve been there too, and we’re here to tell you that your pain is not permanent. There is beauty in your brokenness. 

This week, Brittany Maher and Cassandra Speer of Her True Worth are here to share their stories, get vulnerable, and provide encouragement - and I hope this helps you to do the same.

Because friend - you are not alone in this. 

We dove into childhood trauma as well as what we struggle with today, but these three things still rang true for ALL of us:

  • There is purpose in our pain. Beauty in our brokenness. 

  • Our identity is found in Christ - no one or nothing else. 

  • You don’t have to earn your worth. Jesus paid for you on the cross… and He doesn’t have buyer’s remorse.

 

I hope all of this serves as a reminder to you that you are LOVED & nothing can change that. 

So let this nourish your soul, provide some encouragement, and we’ll see you next week, friends.
