It feels like I am on a constant search for things to listen to. Not necessarily music but ways to learn, grown and be inspired. Time is fleeting and with the busy parts of life, reading books is just not in the cards. Listening to podcasts and audiobooks have been my saving grace to cure that craving of encouragement. As a storytelling fanatic, listening to others and learning from their experiences is so exciting. After hitting a lull ... or maybe an overwhelm ... in the lengthy list that is podcast options I reached out for recommendations. So many were in the same boat as me and wanted the list, too! Here is a curated guide to the recommended ear-fulls to fill our days with inspiration & encouragement.

I looked as so many lists & videos of recommendations as I built my baby registry. Once section that overwhelmed me the most was this, the transportation & travel section. From the price ranges to the safety options, I had no idea what choices were best for us. Because of that, I wanted to create a quick list for what we are using & loving & why. Nothing you need to copy, but if you were curious what works for us, here you go. I would do it all over again if I had the choice.

The blessings poured in as we shared the news & celebrated our baby joining this world. We were gifted so many amazing things that have made learning life as parents much easier. I have truly used ever single thing we were gifted. Although they are all my favorites, these items came to mind quick as things that were recommended to me that I had no clue about or more unique items that might solve some problems others had just like us. I can see myself putting a few of these guides together though because it is all so, so good.

Your loved one is going through it. Whether it is another month of negative tests, a difficult holiday with empty arms, that “what would be” due date of that sweet babe is coming quick, or your friend is currently at the ER from spotting, you just want them to feel loved. I share a lot of our infertility & loss journey & thought maybe I would put together my experience to craft a gifting guide so you no longer have to wonder “what could I get for her?”.
