In this empowering and heartfelt episode of the Home Education with Ease podcast, host Christine Furman welcomes transformational business coach, best-selling author, and speaker Dr. Christina Fontana for a deeply authentic conversation. Together, they explore the emotional and spiritual journey of motherhood, entrepreneurship, and the co-creation of their new Best-Selling book, Expanding Your Brilliance.This episode dives into the importance of sharing your story, the healing power of nervous system work, and how vulnerability becomes a gateway to authentic connection. From navigating self-doubt and social media pressures to breaking generational patterns and building a legacy rooted in love, Christine and Christina share personal stories, practical tools, and faith-filled encouragement.Listeners will walk away inspired to embrace their own brilliance, create clarity through boundaries, and lead with intention—whether they’re teaching their children at home or growing a soul-led business. This is a powerful reminder that you are not alone on your journey, and that both healing and growth begin with connection.Takeaways: Confidence starts at home—instill independence and belief in your children by giving them safe opportunities to explore and grow.Nervous system work is about self-connection—meet your needs with compassion rather than judgment.You don’t have to be perfect to be impactful—your authenticity is your greatest strength.Transformation happens in the in-between—from the decision to write a book to seeing the final product, growth is in the process.Capacity must be created intentionally—decluttering your environment (and your mind) makes space for creativity and peace.God is the ultimate CEO—leading and guiding us down the most aligned paths.Your story matters—whether you’ve faced trauma, grief, anxiety, or uncertainty, your experiences can become someone else’s hope.Quotes: “You do the possible, and He will do the impossible.” – Christine Furman“Let’s meet those protective parts with compassion. That’s how we truly heal.” – Dr. Christina Fontana“We’re breaking patterns—and raising our kids with the intention we didn’t grow up with.” – Christine Furman“Your home environment is shaping your children every single day.” – Christine Furman“When you expand your capacity, you expand your brilliance.” – Dr. Christina Fontana“You’re not alone.

Why You Should Keep College Coaches Updated on Your ProgressWhen you're being recruited, it's not enough to send one great highlight reel or one impressive email and then sit back and wait. College recruiting is an ongoing relationship-building process, and just like in any strong relationship, communication is key. Keeping coaches updated on your progress shows them that you're serious, engaged, and constantly improving.

Fertility isn't just about making babies — it's about the health and vibrancy of your entire life. In this no-holds-barred conversation, Dr. Aumatma Simmons, a naturopathic endocrinologist and best-selling author, reveals how hormones, toxins, and misunderstood medical advice are impacting far more than we realize.We explore why true fertility is an indicator of your body's health, creativity, and resilience — and how understanding your cycle, avoiding common toxins, and tuning into your womb wisdom can change everything.Whether you’re trying to conceive, heal your hormones, or simply live your fullest life, this episode will empower you to protect your future.Time Chapters:00:00 - Welcome and Dr. Aumatma’s Journey to Womb Wisdom04:00 - Shame, Culture, and the Early Messages We Receive About Periods09:00 - What Is a FABNE?

Can Benefit from Womb Wisdom57:00 - Final Thoughts: Creating Safety to Create (Anything)I'm a Naturopathic Doctor in practice for almost 20 years. I also have a speciality as a FABNE - which is a fancy acknowledgement that deems me an expert on hormones in a holistic way. For a majority of my time in practice, I have focused on fertility, and over the years have helped the birth of thousands of healthy babies. My best-selling book "Fertility Secrets: What Your Doctor Didn't Tell You about Baby-Making" reveals a lot of my research and real-life experience beyond what's commonly taught to us as medical professionals-- and shares the major reasons why I am so passionate about educating women. I believe that ALL women should have access to knowledge about our bodies and what I have come to title 'womb-wisdom' which is the source of our creative energy - babies or other creations! Over the years, I have learned that one of my gifts is to take lots of pieces of information and convert it into a distilled take-away that someone can put to use instantly! So, I have stepped into the educational space of training the next generation for fertility specialists that approach fertility from a holistic perspective. Also, running a multi-6-figure business based on my female superpower (my menstrual cycle) is knowledge that I teach, train, and coach on for female entrepreneurs who want to up level their businesses without the grind-- and the burnout. I feel like the 'womb-wisdom' I referred to earlier is a core source of creation energy that we have access to as women. So, while most female entrepreneurs learn to grind like men (yep, I have been there too!) I think it's time that we access our own superpowers!Website: https://holisticfertilityinstitute.comIG: https://www.instagram.com/holisticfertilitydoctor/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aumatma/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/HolisticFertilityExpertEgg Meets Sperm Podcast: https://www.holisticfertilityinstitute.com/podcastBook: https://amzn.to/4lQRZvu  Connect with Heather Allmendinger!Website: https://vivydus.com/podcast/FB Group: https://facebook.com/groups/611487486871608/FB Personal: https://www.facebook.com/heather.m.allmendingerInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/vivydus/Website: https://vivydus.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hmallmendinger/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@VivydusAmazon Author Page: https://amzn.to/3Dpf8nwAs an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

All Gas, No Brakes: Kalea & Jace Bring the Heat Sibling Stars Making Waves in Youth Baseball and Softball All Gas, No Brakes sets the stage for a high-octane episode featuring Kalea and Jace Winston—siblings who are proving that talent, work ethic, and leadership can all run in the family. Hosted by Coach Aaron with co-hosts Banana Jake and Lily Scott, the energy never dips as these two rising stars talk about their journey through elite travel ball, their goals, and their business acumen. From Kalea’s MVP-winning softball season to Jace’s 15 home runs in 2024—including a 350-foot bomb—these two athletes are bringing the heat and then some. Yet, it’s not just about home runs and highlights. Listeners get to hear what drives them, how they push each other, and why they launched The Winston Vibe, a glove and merch company designed for ballplayers like them. Winston Vibe: The Glove Brand Born from Ambition The Winstons didn’t just want to wear the best gear—they wanted to make it. With support from their parents and a relentless entrepreneurial spirit, they created The Winston Vibe, a brand delivering affordable, customizable gloves for players who want more control over their equipment. As Jace puts it: “We wanted cheaper and more customizable gloves—so we just made our own business.” Their passion for quality gear and their deep baseball and softball IQ make this venture more than just a side hustle—it’s a statement. Bringing the Heat On and Off the Field Kalea shares her passion for slapping and her ability to track rise balls with precision, revealing insights into what it takes to be a dynamic leadoff hitter. Meanwhile, Jace, a switch-hitter who’s more comfortable from the right side, reflects on being invited to SelectFest, playing for Team Zilla, and even launching bombs off elite pitching. The episode dives into training habits, pregame rituals, and how the two keep each other sharp. Their competition fuels their growth—especially when it comes to who’s faster. Rising Leaders with College Dreams and Big Goals Though young, Kalea and Jace already think like leaders. Kalea’s goals extend to playing for Duke and potentially studying athletic training. Jace, too, eyes Duke and talks about finding a balance between performance and academics. Their walk-up songs say it all—“Here I Go” by Mystikal and “They Just Don’t Know” by Gyft, each one capturing the energy they bring to the field. Baseball, Softball, and the Winston Mentality This episode showcases more than impressive stats. It’s about grit, vision, and heart. With Lily Scott and Banana Jake joining the conversation, it’s also packed with fun debates, great questions, and unforgettable quotes. The sibling dynamic is authentic and uplifting—a reminder that greatness grows where hard work and family support collide.
