New Episode ALERT!!!!
Stephanie Weinert, founder of Mother & Home Ministries (motherandhome.co), a motherhood collective created to refresh the hearts and minds of women navigating the sacred, demanding, and beautiful vocation of motherhood.
But her path to this work was forged through profound suffering, loss, and ultimately, redemption.
Before motherhood reshaped her life, Stephanie considered herself deeply health-conscious and wellness-minded. She valued nutrition, movement, and intentional living. Yet nothing could have prepared her for the moment in 2019 when her son Beckett’s birth made her a special-needs mother overnight. The complexity of his medical needs, the emotional weight of caregiving, and the daily fight to keep him safe transformed her understanding of motherhood, dependence, and faith.
Eighteen months later, Beckett died.
His death shattered Stephanie’s world.
In the aftermath of trauma and grief, her own health began to unravel. Hormonal dysfunction, exhaustion, anxiety, and physical decline pushed her into what she describes as “a pit I didn’t think I would ever climb out of.” The woman who once felt vibrant and capable now struggled to recognize herself.
But this was not the end of her story.
Stephanie began searching for answers — first medically, then holistically, and eventually spiritually. What she discovered was that true healing could not exist in only one dimension.
It wasn’t just about labs.
It wasn’t just about supplements.
It wasn’t just about diet or sleep.
Healing required addressing the whole person:
the physical body and hormonal systems,
the nervous system and trauma stored within it,
the emotional wounds of grief and identity loss,
the psychological toll of caregiving and chronic stress,
and ultimately, the spiritual surrender of a heart learning again how to trust.
“For in Him we live and move and have our being.” (Acts 17:28)
