032. Raising Grateful Children

Happy summer! It's been a few months but today Emily is back with cute friend & boy mom Kennedy! We chat about summer bucket list items both with the kids and without, as well as laugh about our attempt at being accountability partners for a health challenge. Getting in nutritious foods and solid exercise can feel hard as a mom, so we make sure to chat about that a little bit too. Enjoy!!

Happy Holy Week! In this episode we talk about a few ways we can make our lives the story of Jesus, as well as recap some favorite traditions we did last easter and general conference and some things we will be doing this week to celebrate!

Happy (belated) New Year! We are back and excited for a new season of Truly Innate. This episode is all about reflecting on this past year and looking forward to 2026. We hope you can relate to our goals for the year and since it’s now mid February hopefully you can recommit to some of those New Year’s resolutions!

Chatting about all things CHRISTMAS! From christmas lists, to christ centered christmas traditions and everything in between, we're so excited to make memories with our families this christmas season and hope this episode gets you excited too!

Our thoughts for this week's episode come from the talk "The Book of Mormon- an Immeasurable Treasure on Our Journey" by Elder Ozani Farias. We loved chatting about realistic/doable ways to make our scripture study more meaningful without it feeling so overwhelming. We hope you feel inspired to set some new scripture habits like we have felt!

In this weeks episode we chat about submissions you sent in as well as our own ideas on things we can do to help instill gratitude in our children from a young age. We hope this gives you inspiration on things you can do with your own kids to help them to recognize and be thankful for the things they are blessed with. Especially with the holidays coming up!

In this episode, Emily shares how labor and delivery went with baby #3 and how things have been postpartum. After a failed epidural for baby #1, and a medically necessary C section for baby #2, the hope for baby #3 was an unmedicated vaginal birth after cesarean section (VBAC). And to make things even more exciting, she waited til delivery to find out the gender! If you love chatting with your friends about birth stories, you'll love this one.

I believe that one of the greatest gifts we as parents can give our children is the gift of a strong relationship between each other and hope to be able to do that for my children! In this episode Katie and her sisters discuss the things their parents did growing up that they felt like played a part in their relationships today as adults!

In this episode Katie and her husband Josh chat about all things homeschool, what inspired us to go this route, what curriculums and methods we're using, and what we're loving about it so far!

TW: This is a heavier episode than we usually have for you but such a good one. In this episode, Emily and her friend Bri have a heartfelt conversation about Bri's oldest son who was born with some particularly difficult physical trials. Her faith through being his mother and eventually mourning his passing within a week of losing her own mother, is inspiring and you will love hearing what she has to say!
