For many moms, the expectation of a new baby is a joyous and exciting season! However, for some moms that season is cut short, leaving her with a broken heart, uncertainty, and wondering what next? Then there are the family and friends who want to support, yet the knowledge on the best ways to support feels foreign. Well, that's why I'm so glad to bring to you this episode and I hope it sheds some light and hope for moms who are grieving and the ones who are there to support her.  Today's interview is with Noelle Moore, an angel mom, and the founder of "The Finley Project".

Today we talk about the tragedy of Finley's passing, how to support moms after their own infant loss, the 7 parts of the Finley Project, and some bonus tips for moms to be in what they can do and questions to ask their hospital regarding birth.

I've been on a journey this year to be more intentional, disciplined, and obedient to what God reveals to me. The past 7 weeks I've been focused on being more intentional and disciplined about my soul care and weekly sabbath. The benefits of taking care of my soul and honoring the sabbath have been more than I could ever imagine and exactly what I've needed for years! In today's episode I'll teach you how to be more intentional and get the most out of your soul-care routine - daily, weekly, and even within your finances. Also, you'll learn how to prioritize quality over quantity with your routines for a genuine lifestyle change. I know that at least one of you reading or listening will be able to relate to me. I also believe you will be inspired to start re-investing in yourself through soul-care and honoring the sabbath (whichever day of the week you choose). This isn't a selfish act of care, it's selfless. Taking care of your soul will positively affect your quality and ability to show up for those you care for, love, and serve in your daily life - including you.
