When God Did the Impossible in My Life

(Press play to listen to this new episode of Strong. Confident. His. Podcast above or enjoy reading below.)

I have a confession, sharing personal stories isn't always easy for me, because it's never easy to admit all the doubt, fear, and discouragement I've experienced pursuing my goals.

You know those moments when you think, "Oh I could never do that, or why is it so hard, and why does success seem so easy for other people?"

If you're really struggling today, I'm sharing personal stories to show you that no matter what it looks like, God's not done with you.

Sometimes we need to intentionally look back on all He has brought us through to remember how good He is. 

I call them HIMPOSSIBLE moments! 

This scripture speaks to this perfectly: 

Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us. (Ephesians 3:20) 

My Brave Moment

I was driving to Tucson one...

Learn How Patty Lost 40 Pounds in Just 7 Months!

(Press play to listen, or read the highlights of this Strong. Confident. His. Podcast episode below.)

Today’s show is very special to me, and I want to give God all the glory.

I will never forget scrolling through my comments on Instagram and seeing this:

Have you ever gotten confirmation about something God has shown you? THIS was that kind of moment for me! 

40 Pounds is no easy feat and in only seven months!

Patty didn’t use a diet fix either, she used a life fix. 

It’s been eight months since her Faith Inspired Transformation and she hasn't gained the weight back either.

And did I mention, that she's a grandma!

Only God can do the impossible in our lives friends!

Five years ago, God put it on my heart to write a book about everything I learned the hard way from the fitness industry.

After years as a fitness model, writer, and competitor, I saw the grip fitness goals and body image can have on...

Level Up Your Life With the Lord

(Press play to listen to this episode of the Strong. Confident. His. Podcast or enjoy reading below.)

Are there places in your life where you could really use the Lord's help?

Doing this exercise will show you exactly where God wants to do the work with you that will level up your life: 

Step 1.Think of your life as your home and each part of you is a room.

Let’s walk through your house together, and as we do, ask yourself if God has been pointing anything out in this room:

Kitchen: Has he been talking to you about making better food choices, or are you struggling with disordered eating, overeating, undereating, or maybe even numbing yourself with food? 

Office: Are you hearing anything about a business He’s put on your heart, your current job, trusting Him for a new job, or perhaps how you spend your money?

Bathroom: When you look in the mirror, do you see what He sees, or do you struggle with getting dressed or your body...

Don’t let THIS Destroy Your Fitness Progress

(Press play to listen to this episode of Strong. Confident. His. or enjoying read the highlights below.)

Today’s show is one that will equip you with a truth many of us may not even be aware of, and it's a major "aha" moment! 

Pause for a moment and think about this:

Have you ever made the connection that weekends were a third of the year and could be sabotaging your fitness goals?

In my personal struggle to stay strong and fit: mind, body and soul, God showed me this: 52 weekends a year X 2 days = 104 days

But if you start your weekends on Fridays, that’s 52 x 3 = 156 days

With a three day weekend, we’re getting closer to half of the year.

I thought it was important to do a Strong. Confident. His. episode on this, because God wants His daughter’s wise. 

He wants our eyes open to the traps of the enemy and the things that we don’t even see that are completely derailing us from our best.

Jesus, Our Light in the Darkness

(Press play to listen to the full devotional episode from the Strong. Confident. His. Podcast or read the highlights below.)

Do you have limiting beliefs about God? Were you taught it is ungodly to want to be successful, take care of your health, or even want to be the best version of yourself?

Did you know limiting beliefs don’t come from Him?

As women of God, we have been saved, set apart, and chosen. We are called to shine for Him and bring Him glory. 

Let me share a story about one of my students, Heather.

Growing up, Heather was taught that wanting to be successful was ungodly and prideful, so she put her head down and settled for less in her career, friendships, and even her appearance. 

Have you ever done that too? 

Working with Heather, I taught her the truth of who God says she is in order to undo this stronghold. (Learn more about who God says you are, here.)

Heather has two kids, so I shared with her that...

Unlock Success With My 3-S Formula

(Press play to listen to this podcast episode above, or enjoy reading below.)

Today’s show is real talk for women who love Jesus and fitness but can’t seem to get to their goals…

If I had a nickel for every time someone asked me what the secret to success was, I’d have a million dollars!

Success with losing weight, toning up, leaning out, landing a magazine cover, starting a business, book, or podcast.

People reach out to me in desperation and beg me to give them the secret, but sweet friend, it does not exist!

So why is it so hard to make healthy living a habit? 

Even when we’re armed with our greatest determination and countless diet and training plans, it should be easy; but it’s not. 

Somewhere between setting fitness goals and facing reality, we trade healthy habits for quick-fix gimmicks and temporary results. 

But where is Jesus in any of this?

I left Him out of my goals for far...
