New Year, New Announcements 

CW: Pregnancy and Pregnancy Loss

I have an amazing vocation coach that I worked with for a good portion of 2020, and without her guidance and wisdom I am not sure if I would have fully realized Holy Nourished and all that it could be.  Holy Nourished is the embodiment of my passion and calling, and I am so incredibly excited to hit the ground running with Holy Nourished Moms and Holy Nourished Foundations!  

Something else I learned from my awesome coach was the idea of renegotiating.  If things change and life changes, sometimes we need to renegotiate with our people and sometimes with ourselves.  And today, I am writing this because I am renegotiating the start date for Holy Nourished Moms.  

Instead of starting Holy Nourished Moms this month, I am pushing the start date to January 2022.  I know, a whole year!  Believe me this wasn’t an easy decision, but I can assure it was not made lightly or because of a negative reason.  I think it’s actually for a really good reason.  It turns out…

I am expecting another kiddo due this summer!  

We are very excited to be adding another child to our family this summer!  I have experienced multiple early pregnancy losses over 2019 and 2020, so we are very hopeful for this little life growing and thriving.  

Since I will be out on maternity leave for a few months this summer and early fall, I didn’t feel like it would be right to start a year long cohort of Holy Nourished Moms.  I want to be available to all participants and for the cohort to be a safe and consistent space, and I don’t think I could facilitate that and still take the time needed after the baby is born.    

That said, just because the cohorts aren’t happening until 2022 doesn’t mean that we aren’t doing anything!  

For 2021 we will be starting Holy Nourished Book Club!  Our first group will start in February and look for more information on that to come!  We will also be doing Holy Nourished Workshops throughout the year based on some of the information that is in the Holy Nourished Moms and Holy Nourished Foundations cohorts!  

I am looking forward to all of the things we will be doing through Holy Nourished this year!  I hope you will join us for the book club next month!
