If you’re feeling stuck, frustrated, or like nothing is working, you’re not alone. In this episode, we’re diving into how to pursue weight loss as a Christian woman in a world obsessed with dieting, image, and quick fixes — and uncovering why so many women stay stuck despite “doing all the right things.”

The truth is, diet culture is loud, manipulative, and rooted in money and marketing. It promises freedom but delivers shame. It teaches restriction, obsession, and willpower… but none of that produces lasting transformation.

Today, we’re breaking down what Christian weight loss actually looks like, how it’s completely different from the world’s approach, and why partnering with God — not diet culture — brings the peace, consistency, and freedom your heart has been craving.

🚨 The biggest mistake women make when trying to follow diet culture 🔎 The hidden connection between diet culture messaging and your discouragement 💡 A fresh, biblical perspective that could be the missing piece in your weight loss journey 👉 If you’re tired of spinning your wheels, this episode is going to give you the clarity you need!

If you’ve ever faced a moment when the world went quiet — a diagnosis you never expected, a fear too big to put into words — this episode is for you.

Today, I’m sharing our son Beau’s story: his diagnosis of Transposition of the Great Arteries (TGA), the whirlwind of decisions that followed, the days spent in the NICU, and the unmistakable miracles God wove into every part of his journey.

This is not just a medical story. It’s a testimony of God’s faithfulness, His presence in our fear, His peace when nothing seemed certain, and His provision in ways we could have never orchestrated ourselves.

My prayer is that as you listen, you feel seen, strengthened, and reminded that God is still in the miracle business.

• What Transposition of the Great Arteries (TGA) is and how we discovered Beau’s diagnosis

• The emotional and spiritual weight of making time-sensitive decisions before birth

• The miraculous moments God revealed Himself — through doctors, timing, protection, and peace

• How we experienced God’s nearness in the NICU

• The specific prayers God answered as Beau underwent life-saving surgery

• What this testimony means for you if you’re in your own season of waiting, fear, or uncertainty

• How God used Beau’s story to deepen our faith and trust as a family

This is one of the most vulnerable episodes I’ve shared. If you need hope today — if you need to hear a story where God showed up in a very real, very present way — you’re going to feel encouraged.

Because here, we talk about the whole woman — body, heart, motherhood, and faith — and how God meets us in every part of our journey. Today’s episode is a reminder that He meets us in crisis, too.

Your health matters to God, and you don’t have to walk it alone.

If you’ve ever felt confused or overwhelmed trying to figure out your “goal weight,” you’re not alone. In this episode, we’re diving into what your true weight loss goal should be — and why the number you’ve been aiming for might not actually be the number your body or your season needs.

But today, we’re going to break that pressure off. We’re going to talk about how to set healthy, Spirit-led, life-giving goals that honor your body, your season, and the woman God is transforming you into.

This conversation will help you drop the shame, release unrealistic expectations, and finally build a weight loss journey that’s sustainable and aligned with God’s heart for you.

🚨 The biggest mistake women make when trying to choose a weight loss goal 🔎 The hidden connection between your expectations and your discouragement 💡 A fresh, sustainable, God-centered way to approach long-term weight goals ✨ Why “micro goals” are more effective than aiming for one giant number ✨ How to evaluate when you’ve actually arrived — even if it’s not the number you first imagined

If you’re tired of chasing a goal weight that feels confusing or discouraging, this episode is going to bring so much clarity, peace, and direction.

If you’re feeling afraid to gain the holiday 15, this episode is for you. In this episode, we’re diving into why holiday parties so often derail your consistency — and the simple high-protein snacks that can keep you grounded, satisfied, and totally in control, even when the table is full of temptations. Most women walk into a party hoping they’ll “be good,” but hoping is not a plan — and it’s definitely not a strategy. And what might be keeping you from progress during the holidays isn’t a lack of discipline… it’s the lack of easy, protein-rich options that actually keep you full and prevent the all-or-nothing spiral. Today, I'm giving you 10 delicious, crowd-pleasing high-protein party snacks (plus a bonus protein cookie dough!) that will help you enjoy the season without throwing your goals out the window. We’ll cover: 🚨 The biggest mistake women make when trying to “stay on track” at parties 🔎 The hidden connection between protein and emotional overeating 💡 A fresh perspective that could be the missing piece in navigating holiday food without guilt 👉 If you’re tired of feeling out of control around party food, this episode is going to be a game-changer for you!

If you look up the word fit, the definition is simple: “To be suitable or prepared for a purpose.” But somewhere along the way, the fitness industry twisted that meaning.

It told us that being fit means being a size 4, having a six-pack, and wearing matching leggings to prove it. And yet, none of that has anything to do with what God says about being fit.

As Christian women, we’re called to a deeper kind of fitness — one that prepares us for purpose, not perfection. It’s about strength to serve, endurance for the calling on your life, and energy to show up fully for what God has entrusted you to do.

In this episode, we’re talking about five biblical reasons you’re called to get fit as a Christian—and how your pursuit of health can become an act of worship, obedience, and legacy.

We’ll cover: 🚨 Why stewarding your body is about more than food and workouts 🔎 How your health directly impacts your purpose and influence for God’s Kingdom 💡 The spiritual freedom that comes when you walk in alignment with how God designed you to live

If you’ve ever felt pressure to look a certain way or wondered if fitness even matters to God, this conversation will help you see health through a whole new lens—one that leads to joy, freedom, and purpose.
