Does this sound familiar?

You find yourself starting a new diet yet again, swearing to ban all of the “bad foods” and only eat the “good ones”. You’ve tried Keto, Whole30, Paleo, Carnivore, Mediterranean...

But then what happens?

You find yourself indulging in the entire package of Oreos, only to start the cycle all over again.

But did you know that there’s a way to eat mindfully and listen to your body, without having to ditch “bad” foods altogether?

Has that pesky bathroom scale ever ruined your day?

Which is why in today’s episode, you’re getting simple daily strategies to help you focus less on the scale, so you can joyfully create and maintain lasting healthy habits, while putting your trust in the Holy Spirit.

Imagine this with me. You’re sitting on the couch in your stretchy pants and oversized t-shirt, feeling exhausted from the midnight (and 1am, and 3am…) feedings, wondering if you’re going to feel like this forever.

The last thing you want to think about is mustering up the energy to workout, or even think about working out for that matter. But you know you want to build your strength back eventually...

So you scroll on Instagram or TikTok, trying to find the inspiration to move your body in a safe and healthy way.

BUT all you find are posts claiming to get your pre-pregnancy body back “in just 6 weeks!” alongside photoshopped women with “perfectly” flat tummies and six-pack abs.

Encouraging, isn’t it? 😬

Mama, just know you are not alone in the fight with society’s postpartum body standards.

Which is why in today’s episode, I’m excited to share with you my top tips (from the dark depths of my own personal experience) to rebuild your strength and endurance while honoring your body and the Lord.

Try this fun experiment with me!

Hop on Pinterest, type in “postpartum core workout”, and notice what comes up.

Whether you call it the “tummy pooch”,  “pregnancy belly”, the “mom belly” or by its name Diastasis Recti (DR), there’s one thing in common: it’s completely normal.

It’s time to break down some barriers and myths and discuss what diastasis recti is, why it occurs, and if it really is something that can be prevented (or reversed).

Which is why I’m so excited to share this science-backed conversation about Diastasis Recti with special guest Nicole Scheitlin, a certified Exercise Physiologist, Health Coach, and Pre/Postnatal Fitness Specialist!
(@strongmamawellness)!

In this episode of the HTS podcast, you’ll get an inside look at:

• Why Diastasis Recti occurs, and how to equip your body for it, both pre- and post-pregnancy
• What exactly Diastasis Recti is, and what role it plays in postpartum recovery
• How to spot red flags when browsing the interwebs for postpartum workouts

Does this sound like you?

You find yourself feeling drained even at the thought of working out. Especially when you’re already trying to be the present mom, friend, coworker, and church volunteer you want to be.

And no matter how many times you shuffle your daily schedule to fit in a workout, you still find yourself too exhausted from meeting everyone else’s needs that you decide to skip it instead. 

If this sounds like you… you’re not alone.

Imagine being able to navigate seasons of tiredness with grace, while building strength and resilience in the midst of it. Imagine how much more energy and focus you would have to pour into those around you.

If you’re ready to navigate through those days of feeling too tired to strength train, then today’s episode of Her True Strength podcast is for you.

If you're an active Christian woman who grew up in the church, chances are you've had "the talk" on modesty. And, perhaps if you're like me it left you with a lot of rules and maybe a few misconceptions about your body. What does it look like to wear active clothes and be modest? How can we practice modesty from a place of compassion, rather than compulsion to follow the rules? Tune in for that and more! 

In this episode you’ll hear: 

• How many of the approaches to teaching Biblical modesty have created “ick” for active Christian women when it comes to what we wear 
• Why the oversimplification of modesty down to hemlines and necklines isn’t always the most helpful approach to developing Biblical Modesty
• What God has to say about the clothes that we choose to wear 
• Three truths that can guide you to choose clothes that reflect a modest heart 

I pray this blesses you!
