You’ve been living with a certain mindset for a long time—the belief that once you lose weight, then you’ll finally feel good about yourself. That hitting a certain number on the scale will make you beautiful, confident, free, and happy. It’s easy to believe that losing weight is what will bring us true joy and satisfaction because that’s what the world tells us. From media and ads to clothing stores and influencers, we’re told that happiness comes when we’re thinner. That life will be better once we fit into our pre-pregnancy jeans or look like that fitness influencer on Instagram. But here’s the truth: none of those things will bring lasting joy. Real freedom, confidence, and contentment won’t come from your body changing. They come from Jesus. Not just knowing Him—but fully surrendering your health journey to Him and rooting your worth, identity, and satisfaction in who He says you are. If you’ve been chasing the number on the scale and still feel empty, this episode will help you shift your mindset and start finding true peace—not in your progress, but in God’s presence.

Tired of Comparing Yourself? Here’s the Simple Shift That Will Set You Free Comparison is a liar. It sneaks in and convinces you that someone else’s body, life, or success is the standard.

Have you ever felt like your fitness journey is more about proving yourself than honoring God? Maybe you catch yourself obsessing over the way you look, striving to hit new goals just to feel accomplished, or even comparing yourself to other women in the gym. It’s so easy to slip into that mindset—because that’s what the world tells us fitness is all about. But what if I told you that your workouts were never meant to be about you? What if the pressure to measure up is actually keeping you from the freedom God wants for you? In today’s episode, we’re breaking down how to shift from a self-focused fitness mindset to one that’s truly centered on God—so you can stop chasing external validation and start embracing the internal transformation He wants to do in you first. We’ll talk about what it looks like to stay humble in your journey, remember God’s faithfulness, and trust that He’s the one producing your growth.

Have you ever felt like the moment you try to step into God’s plan for your health—or your life in general—you’re met with resistance at every turn? Like the second you commit to doing things differently, doubt, frustration, and setbacks come out of nowhere? That’s not a coincidence. The enemy doesn’t want you to find freedom. He wants to keep you stuck in old patterns, questioning if God’s way is really worth it. In today’s episode, we’re breaking down how to recognize the enemy’s schemes, stay firm in God’s direction, and keep moving forward—even when it feels hard. We dive into real-life examples like one of my clients who felt tempted to rush through the process of transformation by reverting to old habits. But she recognized this was the enemy trying to hold her back from stepping into the freedom God had planned for her. We also explore the importance of trusting God’s timing, staying humble, and letting Him do the deep heart work before any real change happens. You’ll hear: How the enemy tries to hold us back from following God’s direction What to do when opposition arises in your health, fitness, or life Practical tips to stay rooted in God’s plan, like putting on the full armor of God, fervent prayer, and finding wise counsel Real stories of women who are learning to trust God’s process over the world’s quick fixes Let me know what you think about this episode, and I look forward to connecting with you more in the Facebook group!

Has God ever called you to something specific, something that you can’t deny is a divine appointment, and you feel absolutely inadequate to accomplish it? You find yourself asking God, “Are you sure?” “Do you have the right person because there’s no way I can do that!” We’ve all struggled with these feelings of inadequacy at some point in our lives. We want to pursue God’s calling for us in our careers, fitness, motherhood, and every other area of our lives. But, when God’s plan looks different than ours, we often doubt if it’s truly the path we should take. We doubt our abilities and begin to wonder if we can actually accomplish what he desires of us. This leads us to struggle with self-doubt. We feel like we don’t have enough - enough time, enough talents, enough resources, enough ability. We tell ourselves we don’t have what it takes to do what God is asking of us. We feel like we just can’t measure up. In today’s episode we’re discussing how to surrender to God instead of relying on our own strength. When we do this, God takes what we have and multiplies it, making it more than sufficient for His purposes. If you’ve ever felt inadequate or unsure of how to accomplish the plans God has called you to, then give this episode a listen. You’ll walk away empowered and renewed in God’s strength!

In today’s episode, we’re diving into: Why “healthy” looks different for everyone and how to embrace that truth. The common mistakes women make when choosing workouts and how to avoid them. Four key principles to help you find the right workouts for your goals, lifestyle, and current season of life.

We live in a society that tries so hard to tell us who we need to be, what we need to look like, how we need to dress, and what kind of house we should have. The world is trying to dictate exactly who we are and what we need in our lives. But, if we are followers of Christ then our lives should look different from the world around us. So let me ask you this… Do you feel the pressure to conform to society? Do you ever feel like you’ll be seen as weird, different, or maybe even hated if you stand out from the crowd? Is it easier for you to blend in rather than stand out and risk your reputation? Today I want to dive in with you and discuss how God has called us to stand up and stand out for Him, and how that applies to our health. We’ll cover some passages that help us better understand what God’s Word has to say about this topic so make sure to grab your Bibles. Then we’ll go over four ways that you can make your health set apart for God. Alright, are you ready? I know I am! So let’s get to it! FREEBIES: Grab your Five Ways to Pray Over Your Fitness here!

If you’re anything like me then you’ve had to challenge your mindset around food, struggling between what feels good to eat in the moment and what you know is good for you in the long run. This struggle is more common than you think, but what you might not know is that the Bible is very clear about this topic. God doesn’t want us to struggle over our food choices by being held bondage to the satisfaction that it brings us. He wants to set us free from finding our comfort in food and the constant battle to choose between what we want and what we know is best for us. Come along with me today as we break down 1 Corinthians 10 and what it has to say about our food choices. I’ll also cover a few practical ways that you can shift your mindset around food and start making God-honoring choices when it comes to your nutrition.

Do you ever catch yourself comparing your life to other people’s and then when you do, it leaves you feeling empty or like somehow you’re coming up short? Comparison is a slippery slope that can lead us away from God’s purposes for our lives and give the devil a foothold on our hearts and minds, allowing him to overtake our joy and peace. But, when you learn that comparison is a tactic from Satan, you’re able to put on the full armor of God against his schemes and take a stand to get your Godly confidence back. Today I’m going to walk you through why comparison is holding you back, and how you can overcome it to walk fully in the purposes that God has for you. Grab your FREE Bible Reading Plan here!

We all go through life and find ourselves a little broken and work hard to pick up the pieces and put ourselves back together as best as we can.
