Welcome to another uplifting episode of "Finding Hope," I'm your host, Laura Bell. Today, we have the pleasure of speaking with the inspiring Reyna Wilson, a military wife and mother who turned her quest for wellness during pregnancy into a mission to help other women. Reyna, a certified pre/postnatal trainer and health coach, shares her journey through the overwhelming world of wellness information, military healthcare, and full-time ministry to create a restful space for women navigating similar paths.

In today’s episode, “Finding Hope with Reyna Wilson,” we dive deep into the issues of crunchy culture, adrenal health, and finding our spiritual foundation for true rest. Reyna offers invaluable advice on embracing our natural rhythms, understanding our bodies, and the importance of setting boundaries in the noisy world of social media. We’ll tackle the challenges of mom shaming, comparison, and maintaining our identity amidst the chaos.
Reyna also gives us a sneak peek at her upcoming ventures, including her website "livingwiselywell.com,” and her podcast "If Only I Were Wiser." We'll explore the concept of biblical rest as Reyna introduces her new book, "Return to Rest." It's a conversation full of heartfelt wisdom, practical advice, and, of course, hope for every listener seeking contentment and balance in life.

Join us as we learn how to align our rest with our menstrual cycle, build a community for accountability, and ultimately, how to return to rest. Stay tuned for an episode that promises to fill your cup and equip you with the tools to navigate life's pressures with grace and faith.

Tori is a down to earth communicator, coach, and Bible teacher who engages people with her authenticity, humor, and passion for God and His word. Whether on stage speaking, coaching her clients, or sitting snuggled on a couch with a friend, her goal is to move others toward God in their story and live for eternity, now.

​

Her journey as a work-from-home mom began in support of her husband, Matt, and his traveling band, I AM THEY. After almost a decade-long career in online sales and health coaching, while also balancing motherhood, ministry, and homeschooling, Tori felt herself reaching a point of burnout.

God met her with one question: "Are you working from worth, or for it?" Realizing she had placed much of her identity in the results she was producing for God rather than in the God she was working for, this began a two-year journey of healing from chronic stress and striving that led to her online course and mentorship program, "Work from Worth" that was launched in 2021.

​

Tori has a Bachelor's Degree in Biblical Studies through Calvary Chapel Bible College and is a certified life coach through Transformational Leadership Coaching International and will complete her trauma-informed coaching certification through Freedom Movement in 2023.

​

Her and her husband, Matt, and two children, Micaiah and Amara, live in the Tennessee countryside just south of Nashville and serve at the The Belonging Co in Columbia, TN.

Today on the podcast I have Stephanie and Nick Holden. Nick is the pastor of Briggs Chapel Church in Porterville Mississippi. Together the two of them shepherd their community and have built a beautiful foundation of faith not only in Porterville but also as they travel and evangelize around the southeast. I started following along with their journey through Stephanie (also known as Honey Holden on IG) in about 2015 after hearing her testimony of faith and her story of coming to know christ. To know them is to love them and be loved by them. It is a gift and privilege to sit at their feet today and hear their story. So, without dragging this on anymore, here is Stephanie and Nick Holden

7 years ago, Kori was struggling through a private battle with debilitating Endometriosis. She had a moment of clarity leaving that OB/GYN appointment where she got her diagnosis- “I can either take this diagnosis as my death sentence, or I can ditch the authoritarian medical model and believe that my body can heal.” She took the latter route. She found a holistic practitioner and worked with him to identity the root causes of her Endometriosis, which led her to the world of metabolic health & mineral balance. The deeper she dove into the work of pioneers like Dr. Ray Peat & Morley Robbins, she realized that her symptoms were simply the result of metabolic dysfunction & mineral imbalance. The body can heal, but the foundation has to be in place. Her course, Freely Rooted, teaches women how to lay the foundation for the body to be able to thrive according to it’s beautiful design. She lives out her simple & outdoor lifestyle on a tropical island with her husband and 2 barefoot kids.
