Are you struggling right now because you have based your goal on a “number” (maybe a size or the number on the scale)?

Do you struggle with diet culture telling you carbs are bad?

LADIES!!! My friends, my tribe….! These are LIES!!! The scale does not give you your worth!!

It’s time to stop focusing on weight loss and start working on value gained!!

Besides, one of the things we work on in my group coaching through my app is forgetting about weight and that pesky number on the scale. We will learn to turn away from a pre-conceived idea of what you are trying to accomplish and focus on our VALUES, on our internal awareness and our nutrition knowledge/education!!

Let’s start empowering our eating and shifting our mindset!!

Do you ever wonder how some people seem to get SOOO much done in a day, meanwhile you barely can get the bare necessities accomplished each day? Are you trying to find a way to fit something “extra” into your schedule? Or maybe you are a Business-Owning-Mama who would like to scale your business but you feel like you get stuck doing the same busy routine every day and are not growing either individually or in your business. Girl, I GOT YOU!!! Today is about LISTS, which is a love-hate relationship for me. I also talk about when and what to use lists for and how you can use them in creating a schedule. I get comments all the time that I’m super-mom. That running multiple businesses from home and running 4 kids around (since the other two oldest come and go as they please), plus podcasting, meal prepping, getting time to read and workout, seems impossible. Let me tell you…I’m no supermom and I struggle just like everyone else but what I am sharing in this episode is my KEY to success in all areas of my life!

Did you believe there were monsters in your closet or under the bed when you were little? Did you ever find that to be true? Has anyone ever said something about you or to you that you might have felt was untrue at first but then you believed their lie? (Like how you look, etc). I’m today’s episode, I challenge you to stop believing the “noise”…to let go of past comments that others might have made about us. To not buy into the “monsters under the bed” who are not real. I hope each of us grows and realizes we are not what other people say we are. They may say things out of spite, ignorance, jealousy, anger, or just plain ugliness in their own heart. if it’s not good it didn’t come from God. I know I am who God says I am. God says I am good. Period. Let me say that again… I am who God says I am!! I know that God’s word says that HE made me and knew everything about me before I was born. I know He promises good for me and that I owe everything to Him. I grow as a person, I help others and I follow my passion for working with others because I love God and I love me and who He made me. It took me many years to see that I was worthy and it didn’t help when I had people in my life who called me anything less than that. What do you believe about yourself?? Just a few of the many scriptures that affirm who we are in Christ: “Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes.” ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭1:4‬ ‭NLT‬ “So you also are complete through your union with Christ, who is the head over every ruler and authority.” ‭‭Colossians‬ ‭2:10‬ ‭NLT‬‬ “Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭139:14‬ ‭NLT‬‬ “Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes. God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure.” ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭1:4-5‬ ‭NLT‬‬ “For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.” ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭2:10‬ ‭NLT‬‬ _____________________________________ PS.

Have you ever left a project “unfinished”?

Do you StRuGgLE to focus on ONE task throughout the day?

Look, I hear ya, sister!!! The other day I left a sink full of dishes to take a kiddo to school and then went from one thing to another and another , only for my husband to comment a few hours later that he could tell I’d gotten distracted AGAIN and didn’t finish the dishes. Haha!!! I actually hardly ever do the dishes (HE does), so I had to laugh…

Do you ever find yourself WAITING for God to answer you on what your “purpose” is? Have you asked God to show you what you are “meant” to do? And maybe you feel like He is not listening? Friends, I have GREAT NEWS!!! The answer may surprise you as it is usually much easier than we think! Wether we’re a mom, housewife, working a 9-5, or any season of life, we often overcomplicate it and look wayyyy ahead into the future for what we must accomplish. But don’t be too far ahead of yourself! Listen up as I’m talking about finding your purpose in the “rest” and how to grow stronger in the wait and where you are NOW. The Bible tells us in Jeremiah 29:11, “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” ‭‭ Wow! Isn’t that AWESOME?! I also reference these passages of the Bible today: Psalms 119:105 NKJV “Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.” Proverbs 16:9 NKJV “A man’s heart plans his way, But the Lord directs his steps.” Proverbs 11:14 NKJV “Where no counsel is, the people fall: But in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.” ‭‭ Proverbs 1:5,7 NKJV “A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; And a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:” “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: But fools despise wisdom and instruction.” ‭‭ Proverbs 12:15 NKJV “The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: But he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise.” MSG “Fools are headstrong and do what they like; wise people take advice.” Matthew 11:28-30 NIV “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” ‭‭ If you’d like another episode about finding your purpose, please listen to episode 25: 2 Secrets to Finding Your Purpose REVEALED Please be sure to SUBSCRIBE and leave a REVIEW on my podcast so it can reach more people and hopefully help some other moms struggling with the pressure of having to find their “BIG PURPOSE” and calling on their life!!!

Do you ever see, hear, or read ads that talk about melting your fat away?? Or you might see in working that something helps you “burn fat,” right?? This is just ONE of the FOUR most common myths that I want to debunk for you today! Doing this kind of stuff makes me excited because it once again reminds us all that we are human-it’s so easy for us to give in to the hype and the “fast-fix” because I mean, who doesn’t want things quickly and easily?? But, if health and fitness was so easy and having a chiseled bod was so quick to get, many more of us would not be suffering the effects of our own bad habits and inability to commit to a better and long-term lifestyle. But it’s not ALL our fault! There is responsibility and there is naivety. So, let me help uncover these myths that you may have inadvertently fallen prey to!! Thank you for listening and don’t forget to check in on my website at www.grace2conquer.com and check out the fun stuff launching including my programs, and training options!!

SPOILER: there are NO shortcuts to true health!!! When you see people on social media talking about the NEW plan they’re trying and how great it’s working, let me ask you this simple question: If it’s that great, why isn’t EVERYONE doing it? And yet, here we go, chasing after the next diet or the next supplement that promises us weight loss… RED FLAG!!! If a company ever asks you to take a pill or drink to curb your appetite so you’ll eat less…RUN as fast as you can in the opposite direction. This is what im getting into on today’s episode. Also, right NOW, go review my podcast if you want a chance to win one of several $50 gift cards to my website www.grace2conquer.com where my spring launch is officially out. Make sure you screenshot and send it to me or tag me on social media to get your entry in!! I have great programs being added and some specials, like my “bring a friend” (2 for the price of one coaching) and the FREE group coaching with a challenge coming up soon!!! I am only accepting 3 new one-on-one clients this season so make sure you get one of those spots ASAP because I can’t take any more with my schedule and this is peak season for everyone trying to “cut” and feel great for the summer!!

What does trust have to do with fitness and nutrition? I mean, having resiliency is fairly obvious if you are into fitness, right? Bouncing back from a brutal workout a day or two later…understanding the “no pain no gain” concept. Well, when it comes to everything in life, including your goals and having a coach, we say “trust the process.” It’s actually pretty simple how these two concepts piggy back off one another. In todays episode, recorded a few days before the birthday trip I made, I am delving into a key concept when it comes to any life coaching or personal training….from a Christian perspective of course. Don’t forget, I am launching ALL NEW programs and products on my website this weekend! So stay tuned and make sure you plug in to my Facebook group as we kick off our official spring launch team with fun giveaways!!!

Have you ever looked in front of the mirror and spoke or thought something negative?

We often tent to do this and it is referred to as negative self talk. Today’s episode is all about overcoming this and how my special guest, Carla Arges, from Affirming Truths Podcast, has used godly biblical affirmations to grow and overcome the very real struggles associated with mental illness. I am blown away with all the Carla has been through, but speaking with her, I can just feel her love for God and passion for helping others.

If you find yourself struggling with insecurities, lies that the devil has been trying to get you to believe, this is a must listen!!!
