Did you ever believe fitness just “wasn’t for you”? That you're too late, too out of shape, or too far gone to start again?

Jamie sits down with Pastor Lauren, a founding member of W3Body Elmhurst, to unpack what real strength looks like when you’re a leader, a mom, and a woman who once thought gyms weren’t for her.

From battling back pain and burnout to building serious muscle and unshakable confidence, Lauren’s story is about much more than fitness. It’s about rediscovering your self-worth, leaning into community, and realizing you can rewrite your story one rep at a time.

You’ll hear the real moments: the intimidation, the mindset blocks, the spiritual clarity found within a workout, and the unexpected friendships that carried her through.

Whether you’re a beginner, a doubter, or just craving a reset, this conversation will remind you that you’re not alone and that showing up just once could change everything.

Key Takeaways:

• Why back pain and mental fog were Lauren’s wake-up calls
• How strength training brought emotional clarity and spiritual renewal
• The impact of being seen, supported, and celebrated by other women
• Why structure and accountability made all the difference
• How lifting heavy became a metaphor for every part of her life
• The unexpected transformation that happens after 30
