If Only I Were Wiser Podcast

What do you do when the prayers go unanswered, and the waiting feels endless? In this vulnerable solo episode, I’m sharing our journey of trying for another baby—and how our faith was tested in ways we never expected. From unexpected infertility to the quiet ache of waiting, I open up about what it looked like to trust God when nothing made sense, how community held us up when we couldn’t, and why Christian clichés sometimes fall painfully short. If you're in your own season of waiting—whether for a child, healing, or hope—my prayer is that this conversation meets you gently right where you are.

A Quote to Carry With You:
“Waiting doesn’t suddenly become easier just because a prayer gets answered. Sometimes, waiting well just means waiting with Him.”

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Kayla Borchers — a holistic orthopedic and pelvic health physical therapist, postpartum corrective exercise specialist, and mama of three. She’s the founder of the Holistically Well Method, blending modern medicine with a whole-woman approach to healing. We’re talking about everything your OB never told you — pelvic floor therapy, scar mobilization, diastasis recti, and the small, everyday practices that make a big difference in how you heal and feel in your body before and after birth. Whether you’re preparing for pregnancy, navigating postpartum, or curious about how to feel strong again without overdoing it — this one’s for you!

This week, I’m sitting down with the lovely Marisa from Mother Bloom Collective. She shares her journey into holistic health and homeopathy while trying to conceive—and how it opened up a whole new way of understanding healing, not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually too. We talk about what homeopathy really is (spoiler: it’s not just for the crunchy crowd), how it works with the body instead of against it, and why it can be such a powerful tool for women—especially during pregnancy, postpartum, and those tender early days of motherhood. Lean in as we explore the energetics of healing, why this isn’t as “woo woo” as you might think, and some simple, doable steps to start incorporating homeopathy into your own medicine cabinet.

Four years ago, we became parents—and it’s been a whirlwind ever since! In this episode, Joseph and I reflect on the lessons that shaped us, the expectations we had to let go of, and how parenthood cracked us open (in both the best and hardest ways). Now, with Baby #2 on the way, we’re doing things radically differently. From pregnancy priorities to birth plan non-negotiables, we’re sharing what we wish we had known as new parents—and the real conversations that truly matter. If you’re expecting again, or just reflecting on your own journey, we hope you’ll join us for this honest, vulnerable chat about growing our family and doing it with intention this time around.
