Some people will say fitness is vain. But fitness and going for goals that seemed so far out of reach are where I met who God wanted me to be.
He took my tired, overweight, and out-of-shape body and created a strength and confidence that was on fire for Him to accomplish His will for my life.
I felt old at 30. I feel young at 57.
Friend, I want you to know that the world, legalism, and people's opinions will try to tell you no — you can't do that.
But if God put it in you, don't let anyone stop you!
Here's a look at some of the things God did with my yes.
After 25 years of walking this path with thousands of women, I know with everything in me that women don’t just need to "get fit" or "another quick fix"—they need to learn how to actually live God’s way. Not just on Sundays, but in the messy, beautiful reality of every single day.
That is my mission. That is my calling.
God has given me a gift for making His Word applicable to your real, everyday life—especially Monday through Saturday when life gets loud. While you might have seen me on the cover of Oxygen, watched my story on The 700 Club, or read my article in Jesus Calling, those moments were always about more than a headline. They were about equipping you to trade the world’s exhaustion for His endurance.
If you’re ready to stop white-knuckling your life and start walking in His strength, you’re exactly where you’re supposed to be.
Beyond the books, courses, and the podcast, I am a woman who deeply loves her family.
My dad’s health issues were the catalyst that first made me get serious about my own well-being, and as the oldest of five, I learned early that God and family are the foundation of everything.
Twenty-seven years ago, I met my husband and his two sons—who are as much mine as if I had them myself.
Since then, God has blessed us with our beautiful daughter and two precious grandchildren.
They are my daily reminder that life isn't about platform; it’s about purpose. Whether I’m at my desk or enjoying time with my family, my mission remains the same: to live God’s way and help you do the same.
There is a saying that the best person to help someone is the person who has already been where they are.
I believe God has uniquely positioned me to help you — because I have been through so much and I carry a deep empathy for women who grew up in abuse, who have struggled with identity, confidence, and body image, and who are trying to go for the dreams God has placed in their hearts.
You are not too old and it isn't too late.
You are called. You are chosen. You are set apart — and you were made to live God's way.
My podcast is a great place to start.
