Healthy & Empowered Living, Biblical Mindset, Non-Diet Weight Loss, Confidence, Consistent Routines

Are you sick and tired of starting and stopping on your health journey?

Do you wish you just had the willpower to follow that diet or exercise program like you think you should?

Are you wondering if you’ll ever feel successful when it comes to living healthy?

I’m here to tell you today that it's totally possible to break the cycle!

You don’t have to worry about starting and stopping the plan when life gets busy or stressful.

You don’t always have to push super hard to get results when you’re sure they won’t stick around anyways!

You don’t have to beat yourself up for the struggle, for not meeting your expectations, or not doing as good as you think you should be doing.

There is one key reason you have been riding this roller coaster, one truth that I want to share with you today to set you free from this on and off cycle of living healthy.

And not only am I sharing this ONE thing, but also the 3 steps you need to follow to change how you live healthy and think about living healthy!

Do you find yourself struggling with emotions? You know you’re feeling things but don’t really understand what it is let alone how to process it all?

Do you find yourself in the same cycle of uncontrollable emotions (depression, anxiety, anger, fear, etc.)?

Are your emotions causing you to do things you don’t want to be doing (yelling at your family, eating too much, not sleeping enough, etc.)?

As my fellow coach, Mukkove, says, “You can’t be emotional and logical at the same time.”

Listen in on this conversation as she shares all about our emotions and the important role they play in our life!

We discuss A LOT of things, like:

• Why emotional health important
• Where to start to grow in emotional maturity
• Childhood emotional neglect
• Identifying your emotions but not let them lead you
• Learning to make room for your own emotions and listen to the Lord’s voice to find the truth in it all
• How the enemy can manipulate us through our emotions
• Parenting through your emotional health journey

Mukkove Johnson coaches women impacted by Childhood Emotional Neglect through healing into maturity in Christ. She and her husband have 4 children and live in Alaska. Mukkove loves to learn and teach, she has written 3 books, runs her own coaching business and hosts a podcast called Kingdom Mothers Rise Up.

Have you ever wondered why it’s so hard to start a new habit? Are you wishing that the choices you know you should be making for your health were easy and came so naturally that you didn’t have to think about them?

I hear you! I used to get so frustrated by how much time and energy I was spending thinking about my health, what I weighed, what I ate, how much I exercised, all the things! It was ridiculous and I felt obsessed!

Little did I know that all that thinking about it would pay off over time! The caveat, of course, being that I stuck with it and was doing the right things for me to become my healthiest self! I had spent a lot of years and way too much effort trying to change in the wrong way for the wrong reasons and it just didn’t work. When I discovered that living healthy could be simple and fun and joyful, life got so much better!

Today I’m sharing with you ALL THE THINGS about how to really find freedom in your healthy choices so that you make them naturally and without having to spend so much time THINKING about it!

Buckle up because there’s so hard truth, fun examples, and of course some Jesus coming at your today! Here we go!

Feeling overwhelmed, frustrated or finding yourself more short tempered than you’d like to be lately? Wondering how in the world to get a handle on being more intentional with your time or keep your priorities in line? Maybe you feel like you don’t even know where to start when it comes to thinking about your priorities and values…

Listen in to this conversation for some encouragement and practical strategies on all of that and more from today’s special guest, Sasha Star Robertson.

She shares her testimony, how she came to help women in the way that she does today, why she’s so passionate about it, and how motherhood was a catalyst for it all!

We chat about things like:

• God as our ultimate example of being intentional and how that applies to motherhood
• Why mindset and faithful foundations are essential to living intentionally and making deliberate choices for our lives in a God-honoring way
• What living life based on your values and priorities really looks like, no matter what season of life you find yourself in

She even shared a Holy Spirit inspired, in the moment encouragement from Psalm 90:12 that we’re sure will bless you! (“So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom.”)

Enjoy!

Curious to know exactly HOW you need to think in order to live healthy for the rest of your life? Well, I’m laying it all out today!

I’ll share the #1 truth you need to believe to live healthy in true confidence, two strategies to help you begin living out the truth today, but before I go into those, I’ll teach you how to build the right foundation so that these changes will last a lifetime!

I believe that starting with the right foundation of developing a spiritual growth mindset has to be where you begin, where you grow from in your journey of healthy living.

Because starting here means that in all you are doing, you’re doing it with the purpose of fulfilling God’s purpose and doing it in partnership with Him. It means you’re willing to do what it takes, do what God is calling you to do, through any circumstances, showing up, giving your all, and all for His glory.

If you build on this foundation, the rest will fall into place. Once your foundation is set, you’ve embraced this spiritual growth mindset, this understanding of finding your true confidence from your identity in Christ  first…

Then you’ll have something solid to stand on as you continue living your healthy and empowered life.

P.S. Feeling overwhelmed with how to put together a plan to get yourself back on track for living healthy? Don’t know where to start to even think about following a plan, setting goals or envisioning your ideal healthy lifestyle? I got you! For a limited time, I’m offering a Vision Session! This is one of my favorite things to do with women! Going through this process allows you to really begin fresh on your health journey, it allows you the space to not only partner with the Lord in all of it, but also to find your true WHY, true motivation for living healthy in the first place.

I’ll take you through the whole process, lend my experience and expertise in this area, and help you put together a plan that you can begin implementing right away! Not only will you get the 1 hour call with me, you’ll also get worksheets so you can keep track of all we talk about and you’ll get a week of follow up to make sure that you have all you need to keep moving forward with the plan we put together for you.

Going through this simple process can free you from the burden and overwhelm you’re currently feeling about how to live healthy, and give you what you need to actually start taking those next steps forward toward the healthy and empowered life you want.

How many times do you repeat things like this to your kids?

• "Go to bed, you're tired, you need a nap!"
• "Eat your fruits and veggies, they'll make you big and strong, you don't need that much sugar right now, put the candy away!"
• "Change your attitude, don't be sad/angry/upset, just because you didn't get your way doesn't mean you can throw a fit about!"

Anyone else besides me say these things ALL THE TIME?!?

My goodness, why don't they listen. Mom knows best. I'm just trying to help them do what's most helpful for them. Can't they understand that?

Let me ask YOU these...

• Do you ever ignore your body's signs of tiredness, stay up late, get grumpy or irritable because of lack of sleep?
• Do you choose too much sugar or other foods over fruits and veggies?
• Do you let a negative emotion or attitude about something influence your mood or responses to circumstances that didn't go quite how you thought they should?

If you’re feeling a little ouch in your soul right now, I’m with you! This is the lesson I’ve been reminded of a lot lately!

See, the things we do for our kids, try to teach them, expectations we have for them are not that far off of how we should be living. Just because we aren't kids anymore doesn't mean we don't need sleep, nutritious foods, or attitude adjustments at times. AND more surprising than that statement, the reasons behind and the processes for living these things out are actually about the same for our kids and us! So really, you're getting a two for one today, lessons helpful in parenting and in developing your own healthy lifestyle.

So here we go, today I’m sharing my best and simplest strategies for making sure you get the best sleep, adding nutritious foods to your diet, and adjusting your attitude to experience more JOY in all circumstances of life!

OH and stay tuned at the end where I’m actually going to bring my two kiddos on and ask them how they feel when I tell them some of these things! It’s adorable sometimes to hear wisdom from our kids, they truly can teach us so much if we let them!

Did you know that there is so much more to exercise than just following a plan? There is habit building, mindset shifts, and more that you might need to work on before you can successfully follow an exercise plan.

That being said, I’m breaking it all down for you today! I’ll be sharing about why exercise is important, finding motivation for exercise, the two biggest challenges of beginning an exercise routine and how to overcome those challenges and of course, the Biblical principles behind it all!

There is so much goodness packed into this episode, so let’s dive in!

If you aren’t quite sure how to mesh your relationship with God AND your desire to live a healthier life, this episode will answer all of your questions and give you a real life example!

As I’m sure you know by now, I wholeheartedly believe that building your healthy lifestyle on the foundation of a relationship with God is THE way to go! It's how I live truly free, confident, and joyful in my own health and life.

Today, I am bringing to you a conversation with Kaela, a fellow coach and podcast host. She dropped some serious truth bombs about how she applied all the principles of developing healthy habits to her relationship with God and how He completely transformed the way she lives healthy.

We covered everything from living healthy for your own joy rather than seeking someone else’s approval, to how you can use the same habit building techniques you use for living healthy to grow your relationship with God too.

There is some serious gold in this episode that I pray both challenges you and encourages you as you live a healthy and empowered life for the Lord.

Are you sick and tired of trying diet after diet and never being able to stick with it long term? Are you tired of feeling like you can’t ever eat your favorite foods or like you have to completely overhaul your life in order to eat better? 

I have some good news for you! It doesn't have to be so complicated! 

There are actually simple changes you can make to your eating habits that don’t require restricting foods or overhauling your life and I’m sharing 3 of them with you today. These are all changes that I’ve made and continually work on and learn more about in my own journey. 

So get ready to hear about some SMALL changes that can create a BIG impact on how you eat.

Hearing from the Lord and walking out the things He’s calling me to is a huge part of my life. Lately, I have realized just how much more effectively I can do this now that I’m living a healthy lifestyle.

Not because I eat perfectly, exercise every day, or weigh a certain amount…

but because my mind is not consumed or obsessed with all things related to my health,

Because my schedule is not so busy that I can’t find the time to slow down and hear from God,

Because my emotions don’t cause me to go into spirals of feeling out of control with the things happening in my life.

I’ve learned that I can truly rest in the Lord and live in His peace.

In this episode, I want to simply provide encouragement to your spirit. I truly believe that a healthy lifestyle includes health in body, mind, and spirit so your relationship with the Lord is just as important to me as whether or not you exercise or eat all your servings of fruits and veggies today.

I know how difficult it can be to experience the presence of God or hear His voice when life is going a million miles an hour, you feel so focused on all the things your kids needs right now, whether you’re supposed to homeschool or send them back into the classroom, how you’re going to lose weight, why you feel so disconnected from your husband or friends, how you’re going to be in three places at once with all the things you’ve committed to, or whatever else takes up your time and energy…

Today, I want to hold the space for you as you are listening and even when this episode wraps up, to recognize the presence of the Lord and the things He might be speaking to you about.

I’ll be sharing things the Lord placed on my heart and I pray that you will be encouraged and lifted up as you listen.

I will be sharing 8 different scriptures and short, simple encouragements that go with them covering various topics.

My hope is that the Lord will use any or all of these to speak His truth into your life in whatever you are going through.

These are the Topics and Scriptures covered:

Philippians 4:6-7 | Peace over Worry

Matthew 13:12 | Inner Transformation to Outward Change

2 Timothy 1:7 | Overcoming fears to live healthy and empowered

Proverbs 4:23 | Why is silence so hard?

1 Peter 2:9 | Trading Comparison for Truth

Psalm 62:5-8 | God is my Refuge

Matthew 25:21 | Stewardship applies to your health too

Proverbs 3:5-6 | Acknowledge God in all your ways

Did you know that sometimes living healthy has to start with things other than food or exercise?

If you have tried over and over again to DO all the things to get healthy but haven’t seen lasting success…

If you find yourself feeling like you just CAN’T seem to make the changes you actually want to make in your health or life…

Something’s been brewing up for a while and now it’s time for me to share. Dare I say, it’ll be more life changing than a cup of coffee after a long, sleepless night? 🙈 YES!!

Honestly, I’m getting this sense from God in my heart about an acceleration for women longing to live healthier, to experience joy, freedom and confidence in their health like they’ve never felt before.

I’m talking about getting off the roller coaster of starting and stopping on your health journey…overcoming diet culture…forgiving yourself for what hasn’t worked before…

And saying YES to doing things differently instead!

You already know I have a BIG HEART for you and our community of Christian moms, and it drives me CRAZY to think that you might inadvertently be distracted and consumed by your health and not stepping fully into God’s call on your life to serve your family and others all because of confusion, fear and the overwhelm of simply not knowing what to focus on or how to live healthy in a consistent way.

And because I want to help you kick fear in the face and get healthy & fit FOR LIFE, I've had my head down working on putting together an incredible masterclass to help you gain confidence, clarity and CONSISTENCY, so you can live out the changes you desire to make in your life in a way that is natural and sustainable...ALL while deepening your relationship with God!

Are you wondering what the big deal is about living in mindfulness?

Have you tried so hard to break the cycle of stress and overwhelm in your life so but just can’t seem to get very far?

Do you find yourself craving mindless activities like binge watching your favorite show or scrolling post after post on social media anytime you have a spare moment?

If you answered yes to any or all of those questions, then this is the episode for you. I’m so excited to share with you a conversation I had with my former client Sadie all about her experience moving from using mindless activities as a form of control to enjoying mindfulness in everything from sitting in silence to time with her children. After going through my program, really doing the work within herself and in partnership with the Lord, she confidently says “I feel freedom in my health and joy in my heart!”

I know that you’ll hear and experience the truth of that as she shares all that she knows and has learned about the importance of mindfulness in her health, life, and relationship with the Lord!

My prayer is that as you listen in on this conversation, you are encouraged to partner with the Lord yourself and see what areas in your life He might be calling you to live more mindfully!

**If you are ready to make the shift from spending your free time mindlessly to embracing a mindful life more fully but aren't sure where to start or would like to talk it through with me, send me a quick email or book a free call with me! I'd love to hear more and see how I can serve and encourage you in the ways the Lord is calling you to live a healthy and empowered life.**

As a mom, do you take care of yourself FIRST? Or does guilt take over whenever you do anything for yourself?

You're probably thinking something like, "yea right, my family needs all the things and THEN I'll think about taking care of myself!"

BUT the truth is, you weren't meant to eat only scraps from your kids plate, run around town as a ball of stress trying to get your kids to every activity, or let anything come before your relationship with the Lord.

Yep, I said it.

Your health, your family and friends, and the Lord NEED you to take care of yourself.

The problem is, you, like many other moms, might struggle to find the time, know how to, or even fully understand why it's so important.

Self-care has become a bit cliché these days but I want to break down some fresh ways you can take care of yourself and make sure you’re showing up as the woman God created you to be each and every day.

Don’t worry, it doesn’t have to cost you a dime BUT it will take effort and intention!

Tune in as I share what I see as the most common barriers to self care and how you can overcome them. Warning, they probably aren’t what you expect.

I’d love to hear your thoughts after you listen, so when you’re done, send me a quick email and let me know what you learned or what challenged you the most. Can’t wait to hear from you!

Ever wonder why consistency is so hard?

If you’ve spent any amount of time on a health journey, you’ve probably decided for yourself WHY you want to get healthy. You likely have a plan or know WHAT you want to do to get healthy. NOW, you just have to do those things and make it happen again and again. It’s all about being consistent.

Easier said than done right?

You might be feeling like you’ve tried everything already and never made it stick.

You might feel like you are at the end of your rope and have no idea what else you could possibly try.

You might be so sick of the promises of all the diet and workout programs on the market that you aren’t even sure it’s worth the energy to try to get healthy anymore.

I’d like to tell you today that it’s worth it and I promise there’s a better way. You can do it if you don’t give up. The Lord has big plans for you and if you believe that today, listen in.

Because while consistency is quite honestly the hardest part of living healthy, there are a few key things I share today that will help you even if you feel like you’ve never been able to be consistent in the past.

It’s true, you get to decide what health looks like for you at any given moment in your life. That thought might be scary or it might be freeing.

If your first thoughts lead to overwhelm and you think you’d rather just have someone tell you exactly what to do and when to do it… you’ll want to tune into this episode!

Because while living healthy takes some trial and error to find what will work best for you and your health, I’m sharing the foundation I use to live joyfully healthy in confidence and freedom.

I’ll cover what I call the 3 Pillars to Joyful Health that I coach my clients through as well as practical steps for where you can start with all of them today.

So if you're ready to ditch the diet culture and learn what it really takes to live as your healthiest self each day no matter what life throws your way, this episode is for you. 

Grab your notebook because there’s a lot packed into this short episode and you won’t want to miss any of it!

Who doesn’t want to feel confident? Confidence is awesome, confidence says, “I got this!” or “I’m good!”

But where does confidence come from and what does it have to do with living healthy?

That is what I’m unpacking today!

I like to say confidence on the outside has to start with TRUE confidence on the inside.

So today if you feel like…

• You’re in an exhausting up and down cycle of FAILURE or INCONSISTENCY in your health journey.
• You have been relying on your OWN STRENGTH in your health journey and trying to do all the right things with NO SUCCESS.
• You would rather experience FREEDOM and JOY in your health and truly learn to get healthy confidently from the inside out.

Then, listen in, because you won't want to miss all the TRUTH shared in this episode! 

Let's connect! 

Have you ever felt like you were alone in your struggles to live healthy? Maybe it seems like everyone around you has it all together and you feel like you're living in a cycle of failure and frustration when it comes to your own health.

I know the feeling! My prayer is that through my story you'll find hope, encouragement, and the reassurance that you are not alone in whatever you are experiencing on your health journey.

In this episode, I share all about how I was a walking cliché embracing the "hot mess mom culture" and "running on Jesus and coffee." I had zero time, energy, and motivation until I realized that something had to give.

Here's the secret. As my relationship with the Lord grew deeper, I also noticed that my desire to live healthy was shifting. It was shifting from burden to FREEDOM and from overwhelm to JOY. I wanted to exercise and eat right to HONOR THE LORD.

So, wherever you are on your journey today, know that you are not alone! You too, can ditch the diet culture and transform your body from the inside out all without feeling selfish or taking up all your time.

We aren't meant to do this thing by ourselves so come find the support and encouragement you need on your journey to healthy and empowered living inside the Joyful Health for Christian Moms Facebook community.
