This episode gets real about the gritty challenges of balancing ministry work with a complicated pregnancy and the medical hurdles we faced with our newborn son, Hugo. From severe hyperemesis gravidarum to the isolation of raising a baby far from our usual support network, we paint an honest picture of the emotional and physical toll it took on our family. We also explore the mixed feelings of navigating a new community, cultural barriers, and the strain of starting anew while managing personal and professional responsibilities.
Finally, we discuss the deeper themes of faith, community, and the pursuit of a more intentional life. From the cultural dynamics of living in Utah and interacting with the LDS community to the joys and trials of early parenthood, our story is one of growth, resilience, and reflection. You'll hear about our dreams of sustainable living, our musings on the end times, and our aspirations for raising children in a connected, mindful environment. Whether you're here for the parenting tips, the church-planting insights, or the heartfelt anecdotes, this episode promises something for everyone.
