GRACE 2 CONQUER - Helping Women Find Freedom through Faith, Fitness, and Truth

2020 will go down in history for how everything in the US, and many parts of the world, closed down. Many people lost their jobs or businesses and suddenly moms were left trying to homeschool kids or at least help them figure out school online.

Moms-were you out of your mind like I was??

Well, the good news is that my own business blossomed and so did the one I help my husband with. In this episode I talk about ways in which I grew or my businesses grew and also how you can still grow with your home-based or self-owned business now, even though things are slowly returning (not to normal because I don’t feel we’re headed quite there yet).

Mompreneurs, I’d love to know how you grew during this time too! Please reach out to me as I’m looking for feedback and more way in which I can help you with YOUR business. You can email me at [email protected] OR you can message me through my website www.grace2conquer.com OR find me on Facebook and message me there! Can’t wait to hear from you!

Oh, and did you hear about the NEW PROGRAM?! I just launched the first course with a mastermind group in HUSTLE 2 UNHUSTLE ACADEMY called “Creating BALANCE in Your Busy Life” that will touch on ALL areas of your life, helping you declutter and destress so that you can maximize your time and be more at peace-balanced and whole…yes, even as a busy Mompreneur!!!

Signups for the next class will be opening up this week for the end of October start date! Stay tuned!!!

As always, the greatest feedback I can get is by you leaving a written review and rating on your podcast platform-it’s what helps my podcast grow and get out there. Thank you ALL for your support!!

There’s a lot of self-love talk going on lately as well as social media being overwhelmed with “self acceptance” posts.

Let’s take a look at who is posting this… Most of these don’t come from people who are taking CARE of their bodies-what they put in it and what they do with it.

Hey, I agree that you can’t judge a book by its cover, and I would know-I live with chronic illness and autoimmune a that most people would never know I have.

But just because I’m a “mom” or “over 40” or even married, does that mean I should just stop working towards a better (the BEST) version of me?! Man, I hope not!!

I believe we need to speak up about what TRUE self love and self care is and that we should NEVER SETTLE for mediocrity. I know MORE now than I did in my 30s and I also look better than I did in my 30s…or even my 20s!!! No joke! Because I had this thought process engrained in me that I would get married, have kids, and just stay home cooking and cleaning and raising babies. But how has that gone for me all these years?

So let’s talk about THIS!

It’s a topic I LOVE bringing up at women’s groups and this episode is SHORT and SWEET!

What is the BIG deal about PROTEIN anyway? Why do so many fitness professionals harp on their clients about getting enough Protein.

Protein is the driver of fat loss and I will explain this in more detail. Complete protein sources are: white meats, beef, fish, egg/whites, some dairy (cottage cheese, Greek yogurt), and whey protein (look for low-temp processed).

I’m also talking about Magnesium today and why so many people take it to help them sleep better and the SHOCKING statistic about 95% of Americans being short on Fiber!!

Supplementation means assisting what you already do and in the nutrition & fitness world it means filling in the gaps after your whole food. As a trainer and coach, I always recommend a person FIRST see if they can fill their gaps in nutrition with real FOOD so that we can have a strong foundation-if it’s not possible, then we look at supplements.

Of course, all of us are different and have unique needs based on our lifestyle, gaps, and goals! If you need help figuring out your ideal supplement stack, take advantage of my coaching program that I have on sale through August ($50 off) or connect with me at [email protected]! I would love to walk with you on your wellness journey! Thanks for joining me on this journey of helping each and every person to find FREEDOM in fitness through faith and hope.

Ever wonder about your gut health and the impact Micro (small) Nutrients has on it?

In this episode, I’m explaining a few of my top supplements that are foundational and that I recommend my clients take daily to boost their immune system and give better metabolic function on a cellular level as well as keep energy levels going.

While we always recommend a good multi-vitamin, you need to aim for whole food sources for good sources of vitamins and minerals too. You may have heard "eat the rainbow" (vegetables and fruits, not Skittles!

Who else has ever felt lost in the supplement aisle?

Intermittent Fasting…I feel like between that and Keto, it’s all I hear about diets these days. Everyone is doing it!

But not everyone is aware that they are making some big mistakes and why.

It’s the same with Intuitive eating. Gurllll, if I could eat intuitively, I’d be living off of Oreo’s & Milk and Nutella!!!

So, we really need to be aware of these things and no matter what how you’re eating or working out, today’s topic is going to be really applicable to anyone!

Thanks for joining me on this journey of helping each and every person to find FREEDOM in fitness through faith and Hope.

Do you jump from diet to diet, trying to lose a few pounds?

How do you know if the workout program or diet you’re about to choose is the RIGHT one for YOU?

Or maybe you are a coach or trainer who gets a lot of people wanting to try something they’ve heard or seen somewhere.

In today’s episode, I’m giving you the tool I use when working with and coaching my clients when it comes to their programming.

I get a LOT of moms who have been caught up in an ad they saw or infomercial and yes, sadly even on social media come to me for help. Actually, they usually come to me AFTER they have exhausted all these options and nothing seems to be working for them. If this is YOU, you need to grab a piece of paper or a notebook to write these 5 questions down. It will help you to answer these truthfully and gauge whether you are TRULY doing this for the right reasons and if it is a “diet” or program that might work for YOU!

A little teaser-one of them is about SUSTAINABILITY. If this something you can commit to LONG TERM? Don’t you know that almost ANY special diet CAN work for you if you truly invest yourself into it and are consistent over time. Right?

Well…not all of them and again, you know I talk about nourishing your body and a balanced LIFESTYLE over any fad. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, too much of a good thing can actually be bad. Yep! You heard me! Listen to this episode and I’ll explain!

Have you ever said “I am never going to …(get to my goal weight, etc)

or “I always …(fail, etc)” ?!

What about labels? Do you say you’re on a diet?! Do you see active people and label them as a gym rat, or a bodybuilder, runner, power lifter, cardio queen…sooo many more…?!

Why do we do these things that subconsciously sabotage our chances at a healthy, well-balanced lifestyle. Let’s take a look at some of these issues

As Christian moms and women, we have a responsibility to understand and learn what is TRUTH and what are LIES and help our children not fall into these same issues. I’m not talking about being large, fat, obese…nope! Not even close!

Today’s episode is a little lengthy but I PROMISE you’re going to hear something you need to today and I’m so passionate about this and want to help you overcome these struggles and traps in your life. So make sure you listen to the end because I’m giving you two indispensable TRUTHS (keys) to help you overcome the eating disorder your probably didn’t know you have been struggling with!

What if I told you that you have an eating disorder? Would you believe me?!

I bet you think that you know what an eating disorder is!

But what if I told you it’s not exactly what you think? Because it’s not. We label a few of them and then continue on our diet and exercise programs thinking we’ve “got this.”

But the sad truth is you’ve been fooled and lied to especially in the health and fitness industry where companies want you to buy their supplements and weight loss products.

It’s fast and easy right? You can just take a pill or use a wrap or do a 1 hour HIIT training session and you’ll be able to hit those goals!

SPOILER: you can’t. You may be able to press pause or rewind for a moment, but have you thought about it changed the root of all of this madness?

Even if you are 100% okay with your body and eating whatever you want, this one is for YOU! You’ll want to check out today’s episode because you might not realize the harm you are causing yourself and future generations.
