Healthy By Heather Brown

Welcome to the Summer Series, where I’m sharing fan-favorite replays and mini-episodes until Season 3 launches on July 25! In this episode, I have on Dr. Stephanie Perez of Empowered Wellness, Birmingham’s first holistic women's health and wellness center. She is a doctor of physical therapy with a specialization in pelvic health, and she helps women of all ages live without urinary leakage, painf...

Hey there! We are in our summer series of episodes before starting season three in the fall, and I thought I’d share a day in the life during the school year! This episode is what a typical Tuesday looks like for me, from waking up and getting the kids to school to having strategy calls and recording podcasts to putting the kids to bed – and doing it all over again! Of course, not every day is the...

In this episode, we’re talking about summer! This is the finale before we head into the summer break. Summer has no routine or consistency, and between VBS, soccer practice, and everything else, life is about to get crazy! But I leave you with some tips so you can have fun with your family but also stay healthy and keep your sanity. In the meantime, I’ll be releasing reruns of some of the most pop...

Welcome back, girl gang! In this episode, I have on podcaster and joy seeker Rachel Awtrey. We chatted about having other mom friends – like why you need them and how to get them –being authentic on social media and in podcasting, practical ways to work on a marriage or your relationship with Christ, & more! Fun fact: I was on Rachel’s podcast before I even really knew what podcasting was. She...

In this episode, we are talking about all things mental health and church with Phylicia Masonheimer. Phylicia is the author of “Every Woman a Theologian” and a true theologian herself. She has captured the art of making Bible studies for women attainable and helping women feel comfortable speaking about the Bible without the pressure of not being a pastor or small group leader. We go into the fami...

Since one of the first podcasts many moons ago, y’all have told me about Coffee and Crumbs and that I needed to have Ashlee Gadd on the podcast. I’m so excited because we finally made it happen for you guys! Ashlee is a storyteller, photographer, and founder of Coffee and Crumbs – a platform encouraging women in their everyday lives, especially if they have kiddos. I love her website because you c...

Welcome back, friends! It’s been a while, but we are back with another episode of just Eric and me chatting. Since we recorded this episode late at night, and Eric’s a morning person, we get right into the nitty-gritty of the conversation. In this episode, we talk about what a mind-body connection is and how we create that connection. We also go into some of the issues you can face when you’re ove...

Hey friends! I’m super excited to share this conversation with y’all since the last time we had this guest on the show, it was one of our most downloaded episodes! First episode with Dr. John: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/how-to-improve-your-health-with-intermittent-fasting/id1638763905?i=1000577777272 In this episode, we have the one and only Dr. John. Dr. John was my chiropractor when b...

A common predicament that many women fall into is feeling like their life is mundane. It’s sad but true. We get caught up in taking the kids to school, doing laundry, making dinner, and following the same daily routine. Additionally, we can create a habit of complaining. It may start as a joke but can quickly become a slippery slope! However, through our Bibles and prayer, we can make a change for...

We are picking up where we left off in our conversation with blogger and mom Ashley Stock. In part one, Ashley shared her story of losing her daughter to a brain tumor and the following grief. However, she was determined to find light in the darkness and is learning to move on while accepting that the sadness will always be there. Ashley shares her firsthand information on navigating loss and how...

We are back with another two-parter interview! This time with mommy blogger Ashley Stock. Once upon a time, Ashley worked in marketing but decided to be a full-time mom after having her first baby. Blogging was an outlet to help her rediscover herself and find a community where she could feel less lonely and connect with other moms. Eventually, her blog turned into a business – turning Ashley into...

After having a baby, you have to learn to live with your new body. I hate to break it to you, but it simply will never go back to the exact way it was before. Don’t think this is all bad news, though! You just have to learn to love and care for your new postpartum self! You can still lose weight, be fit, and have energy again. However, you birthed an actual human, and your body needs to be cared f...

Today we are back with part two of our conversation with Lindsey Maestas. As a reminder, Lindsey is a writer, podcaster, and entrepreneur focusing on intimacy, marriage, and motherhood. She is married to her husband, Jesse, and they have two little boys. In this episode, we dive into some very important topics, including faith, intimacy, marriage, and motherhood. Lindsey offers tips for being inti...

Buckle in because this conversation is so good we had to break it into two parts! If the title makes you nervous, these two episodes are for you. Faith, intimacy, marriage, and motherhood need to be talked about. The truth is the more the “secret” topics are discussed, the less taboo they become! I met Lindsey Maestas when I was actually on her podcast two years ago. Lindsey is the mom of two boys...

Maybe you know what it’s like – your kid sees another kid at the store or in school that is different from them, and they don’t know how to act. They try to look at them out of the corner of their eye, maybe they giggle, or they loudly ask you what that thing is they sitting on and if they can get one. Sure, it’s embarrassing, but it’s in no way a reflection of your parenting. Rather than shushing...

This episode was fast-paced and on fire with information for women and moms on doing the things that really matter, finding your people, and watching for red flags in church and day-to-day life. At the end of the day, we all just need people who will embrace our vulnerability and support us when we feel like we are about to lose our minds. No one is perfect, and life gets easier if you can share y...

Say it with me: “I am loved and worthy!” What better time than Valentine’s Day to talk about self confidence and loving our bodies? As a mom in today’s era, it’s hard to feel confident. We see perfection all over our Explore pages and can seemingly not escape the cultural worldview surrounding us. We need to flip the script and love our God-given bodies as they are right now and make healthy choic...

You asked, and we listened! After a list of requests for a roundtable discussion on the show, this is our first one ever! And I am SO excited to share it with you! For our first roundtable discussion, we are featuring several of my very best friends who are all moms in different seasons of motherhood. We talk about mental health, what it looks like, and their personal motherhood journeys. In this...

Hey there! This episode is a quick conversation between Eric and me on how we handle stressful situations in our marriage. Marriage is not always sunshine and rainbows. The hard seasons roll through, and the stress can cause tension. Eric and I have faced challenges in our marriage during stressful seasons. However, with marriage counseling, stronger communication skills, and Jesus, we pulled thro...

How do you monitor your child’s social media? What’s it like being a blogger husband? Which is easier to raise – boys or girls? And the most controversial – is depression real? These are just a few of the pressing questions that came up in this episode of Healthy with Heather Brown! This episode is a little different because I had my hubby Eric and our friends Brendt and Andy Blanks on the show wi...

Hey friends! Fair warning: this episode can be triggering as it discusses divorce, depression, and suicidal thoughts. According to Ashley Terkeurst, “You can’t heal what you don’t feel,” and boy, isn’t that the truth! Ashley went through it ALL and fell into a dark place in the process. After facing divorce, losing touch with her dad and her friends, and more, Ashley was at rock bottom. She is not...
