In today’s episode, Blakely and Maia sit down with their friend Blair, a fitness instructor at Freedom Studios in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, for an honest and redemptive conversation about movement, healing, and faith.
Blair shares how she fell in love with movement at a young age and how, even when she never imagined herself working in the fitness world, God had already placed that passion within her and the joy it's been to step into.
Blair shares her journey of healing from disordered eating and what it looks like to walk through restoration with God, the importance of prayer, and encouragement for anyone currently navigating a difficult relationship with food or their body.
They also discuss how to fall in love with movement again in a healthy, life-giving way. Blair offers practical tips for approaching movement from a place of freedom rather than control, and how reframing fitness can transform it into something rooted in joy, stewardship, and worship.
This episode is an invitation to see movement not as punishment, but as a gift—and to share about it in that way too!
This conversation is meant to be an invitation—not expert advice—into pursuing healing, freedom, and a renewed relationship with movement through a faith-first lens.
