My oldest daughter turns 19 this year — and that milestone stopped me in my tracks. Nineteen years of motherhood. If I could go back and hand newbie mom Camille a piece of paper at the hospital, this is what would be on it.

How to let your kids struggle without leaving them alone in it
The phrase Camille says in her house that released her from the pressure of doing it all
Why your marriage needs protecting just as much as your kids do — and what date night can look like in the little seasons
The one thing that almost always helps on a hard day (it's simpler than you think)
How to build a village when one doesn't just show up on its own
Why the meals don't have to be perfect — and what they're actually about

What is Diastasis Recti?

As moms, we're often taught to push through, work harder, and keep going no matter what. But what if the healthiest thing you could do isn't pushing harder—it's giving yourself permission to pause?
In this episode of Simple Health for Moms, Camille shares a personal story that completely changed how she thinks about health, rest, and progress. She walks through the difference between a healthy push season and a necessary pause season, helping moms recognize when their bodies, minds, and hearts may be asking for something different.
You'll leave this episode with a simple framework to help you decide whether it's time to keep pushing forward or step back and recover.
In This Episode, We Cover:
• Why pushing harder isn't always the answer to better health
• The surprising lesson Camille learned from increasing her daily steps
• How to tell the difference between a push season and a pause season
• Common signs your body may be asking for rest and recovery
• What healthy pushing and healthy pausing look like in motherhood, marriage, health, and community commitments
• The biblical example of Elijah and what it teaches us about the importance of rest
