Chasing Freedom Show

In this episode of the Chasing Freedom Show, I talk with Julie Ledbetter about embracing who you are, being REAL and how to live 'better'.

Julie is AWESOME! She is the epitome of REAL! And it's no wonder, as she started the #embraceyourreal movement on social media.

"Externally accomplished, but internally dying" - that's how Julie describes the person she used to be.

Julie is now a lifestyle mentor, encouraging women to embrace who they are. Inspired by her own struggles, she works with women to help them live every day better than the last through sustainable health and fitness.

One pivotal moment in Julie's inspirational journey was meeting her husband - born deaf, Josh came into Julie's life at one of her lowest points, armed with a degree in health & exercise science. Together, they're chasing their dreams and teaching women how to show up to their lives and experience freedom from toxic dieting patterns and body shame.

Julie and I get deep into: WHO Julie is (not what) - her disordered relationship with food - her fitness competitions & 'stage body' - where #embraceyourreal came from - what inspires her - her marriage & business partnership (and the lessons she has learned through non-verbal communication) - some other fun light-hearted questions, to which one answer is...PIZZA!

This episode of the Chasing Freedom Show is short, sweet and simple, just how health should be.

My health used to be something that felt so hard for me to really 'get together', 'get a grip on' and really understand and focus on; I was literally riding the roller coaster of the health journey just like so many people...

Listen in as I talk about some EASY tips on how to feel free from the roller coaster of highs and lows when it comes to your health journey. These include introducing more GRACE, ACCOUNTABILITY, CONSISTENCY and BELIEF.

What's one small thing you could change today?...and what would you do with a healthier body?

In this episode of the Chasing Freedom Show, I talk with my friend Laura Reynolds about SEX and all the 'good' and 'bad' that comes along with it.

I hope this episode brings you some encouragement when it comes to your relationship with sex and new insights into what God intended sex to be like. Laura and I have both struggled with this, so we are chatting girl-to-girl, sin-to-sin - where to next; understanding God is more worried about our next steps than our missteps.

It's like Laura says "If the God of the universe can forgive my sins and choose to put them out of his mind, then they clearly have no weigh on my identity and who I am."

Listen in as we define 'sex' and 'sexual sin' and answer questions on: being open in the bedroom - being open with your friends - seeking advice to move into purity - pursuing singleness in a God-honoring way - husbands who sexually sin - virginity - premarital sex - what constitutes 'crossing the line' before marriage (how far can we really go!?) - sex after the 'honeymoon phase'. I also share a peak into some things that came up for Derick (my husband) and I during our marital counseling.

In this episode of the Chasing Freedom Show, I playback episode 35 of Callie Ammons' Living Intentionally podcast: How to Find Freedom in Health and Body Image, where I shared the ins and outs of what eternal health really means.

We talk about who I am (outside of my job), my travel journey and struggles & how this dream came to life, how my business developed & how I capitalised on my gift and began 'freedom walking'. The freedom walk is a daily practice; an active pursuit - we are constantly in training as ambassadors of Christ. Tips on what you can do TODAY for your health and to start living in freedom are sprinkled throughout this podcast.

In this episode of the Chasing Freedom Show, I talk with my friend Brittney Porter; mom, wife, lover of people & Jesus, anesthesiologist, and leader of an inspirational online community for women: The Fire Within Her.

Brittney created The Fire Within Her to share her incredible (seriously!) redemption story and to help other women overcome their struggles and inspire hope.

The birth of Brittney's son resulted in a separated pelvis which meant 2 years of severe pain; not being able to be an active mother, wife or employee. She describes this time as the moment where her life was stripped down to nothing. Where it felt like there was no light at the end of the tunnel. She shares how this struggle tested her faith in Jesus and her marriage, and how it has shaped her life today.

We also talk about the importance of non-physical intimacy and how celibacy before marriage can help couples make it through hard times.

You can find more from Brittney at thefirewithinher.com.

LOVED this verse to go along with today's episode: ROMANS 5:3-5

Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.
