After years of working as a nutritionist and personal trainer, she felt ready to pursue motherhood at 40. At 41, a severe concussion significantly affected her hormones, and five months later she was told she was no longer fertile and might be facing early menopause. After exploring fertility treatments, including IVF, Rebecca chose to focus on natural fertility and spent a year holistically preparing her body for pregnancy. She went on to conceive naturally at 43 and deliver a healthy baby at 44, then conceived and gave birth again at age 46. Today, Rebecca combines her professional background with her personal fertility journey to educate and support women who are navigating fertility and motherhood after 40.

With a background in Nutrition, Health Sciences and Epidemiology, her career path was focused on understanding health from a scientific perspective. However, when she faced Type 1 diabetes, hypothyroidism and infertility, she embarked on a transformational healing journey—one that extended beyond medicine. Along the way, she discovered the profound power of the mind-body connection, emotional healing, and shifting beliefs to manifest what the heart desires. By embracing these principles, she transformed her pain into power, turning what once felt impossible into reality: the gift of motherhood. Inspired by her journey, Rafaella developed Little Miracle Creations, an initiative to share meaningful offerings that support women on their journey to motherhood. Through creative expression and heartfelt insights, she continues to expand this growing collection, beginning with her poetry book and guided journal. With more to come, each offering is created to inspire women to believe in their own miracles. Rafaella's debut book, Little Miracle Milestones, is a collection of affirmation-infused poetry, written as an intimate dialogue between mother and baby. Accompanied by a guided journal, this collection provides a space to release limiting beliefs and step into the energy of manifesting a little miracle. Thank you for listening!

She personally experienced the frustration of navigating GI specialists, receiving normal lab results despite ongoing symptoms, following strict elimination diets, and trying countless supplements. Like many of the clients she now supports, she felt stuck and questioned whether her health would ever truly improve or if the stubborn symptom cycle would ever break. Through her own journey, Jamie realized the missing piece wasn't doing more or simply changing what she was doing — it was understanding why the symptoms were happening in the first place. That insight propelled her into the functional medicine space and ultimately transformed the way she approaches gut health today. Thank you for listening!

Raised on the standard American diet and surrounded by conventional household products, Kelly didn't experience the impact of reducing everyday toxins until her early twenties. After making simple changes in her home and daily routine, many of the "normal" issues she had dealt with for years — dry and itchy eyes, painful menstrual cramps, joint and muscle pain, and even body odor — disappeared. Motivated by that transformation, Kelly co-founded Branch Basics to help others create healthier homes and experience the power of pure as well. She lives in Jackson, Mississippi, with her husband and four children, and continues to educate on practical, accessible wellness. Allison Evans is the co-founder of Branch Basics, a wellness and lifestyle brand creating cleaning products that prioritize human health. After experiencing a severe health crisis in college that included chronic pain, PCOS, and motor impairments, Allison found herself on multiple medications with no real answers. A summer spent living with her aunt, Marilee Nelson, in the Texas Hill Country changed everything. By removing toxic chemicals from her environment and focusing on real, whole foods, her symptoms and cysts disappeared, transforming the way she viewed health. She later conceived and gave birth to four children naturally, something she was told would never be possible. Motivated by her journey, Allison co-founded Branch Basics to help others create healthier homes and thrive. She lives in Texas with her family and is passionate about helping others take steps toward lasting wellness. Thank you for listening!
