  • I Quit Trying to Lose Weight (and What I Did Instead)

    Leave a review!

     Are you tired of the hampster wheel of weight loss? Do you feel tired, like you’re running out of weight loss options to try? But, also terrified to give it up? Maybe you’re like me and you’ve tried everything, Whole 30, running extra miles, doing HIIT, wearing a sweat suit,  or the grapefruit and toast diet (yes, it’s a thing). I get it. 

    My dream was to be able to fit into my jeans, have an athletic, lean looking body and I believed (if I just focused on weight loss) I could finally ge there and be at peace with my body. 

    But, instead I ended up feeling frustrated, burnt out, and sad that I never saw the progress I wanted. 

    In today’s episode, I’m sharing why I stopped trying to lose weight and how shifting my focus actually led me to four simple strategies that ultimately helped me achieve healthy fat loss and better relationship with my body. 

    If you’re tired of feeling like you’re at war with your body, and are ready to experience better mental, physical, and spiritual health and peace then grab a pen and let’s dive in!

Or maybe you're following random YouTube workout videos and aren't noticing the progress you want in your strength. Maybe you think that's all you can do with those 8 or 5 lb dumbells.

After 4 years of trialing training strategies with clients at home with minimal equipment, I've discovered how to build muscle without a rack full of dumbells. And, in today's episode you're getting the practical steps and mindset shifts needed to build muscle while you're balling on a budget.

    Let's turn those dusty dumbells into tools to build your strongest healthiest body yet, all while bringing glory to God in your health. Let's go!

  • My Counter-Cultural Health Hack

    Leave a review!

    8 months ago my husband and I made the decision to ban our television to the closet.
    A “TV time-out”, if you will. And it was probably one of the best decisions we have made.

    Before, I found myself struggling to find the time and energy to be the wife, mom, friend, and church volunteer that I wanted to be, and I knew something had to change.

    So I did an evaluation to see how I could begin to repair and prosper relationships while still having the energy to grow my business.

    And it started with putting the TV in timeout.

    If you’re looking for the free fix for thriving energy, quality time, clearer focus, and (more importantly) a consistent time in the Word, this podcast episode is for you.

    I pray this blesses you!
