Why is hydration so important?

Why is hydration so important?

Amanda Ignot Hydration, Natural Wellness
Sweet Summertime. The sun. oh how I have missed you. Pool or lake days, BBQs, getting outside! Summer is the season of being outdoors. It’s also the season of forgetting to hydrate, sunburns, and bugs. BUGS!

Amanda Ignot Advocacy, Birth Support, Natural Wellness, Pregnancy
When you are pregnant you will generally be told that you have to be tested to see if you have gestational diabetes between 24-28 weeks of pregnancy.

Meet Amanda...

 
Hey, I'm Amanda!

I'm a wife, homeschooling mom of four, longtime women's advocate, and a woman learning in real time what it looks like to put myself back on my own priority list.

My journey into advocacy began through infertility, pregnancy, and childbirth, where I learned just how important it is for women to ask questions, understand their options, and know that their voice matters.

Today, that advocacy has expanded into the conversations I'm living myself—motherhood, health and wellness, faith, self-advocacy, and finding our way back to ourselves after years of taking care of everyone else.

I don't have it all figured out, and I don't pretend to. I'm here to share what I'm learning, ask better questions, find answers, and remind other women that we don't have to walk any of it alone.

If you're figuring some of this out too, pull up a chair. There's room for you here.
