Have you ever had a gut instinct that something wasn't right and made decisions for your kids based on that? A mother's intuition is real and can be key in decision-making.

In this episode of The Well Drop podcast, we celebrate Amber’s birthday by having her mother, Joy Ziefer, join in on the conversation. Amber shares her personal journey, reflecting on the impact of Joy’s intuition and the pivotal role it played in shaping her own path. By leaning into their community, being curious, and remaining open-minded, they embarked on a holistic lifestyle back in the mid-90s when the term organic was not even mainstream.

Tune in for an insightful discussion on how to get more than one opinion, not be afraid to ask questions, and remain determined to find the right path to health for oneself (and your kids!)
