Today is a woman-to-woman girl chat! Grab a cup of coffee and join me as I overshare about my journey through perimenopause and into menopause.

Here's what I'll cover:

• Feeling unlike yourself...could it be perimenopause or menopause?
• Insomnia, hot flashes, weight gain, anxiety, depression, ugh!
• Hormones making you feel like you're going to lose it? 
• Feeling very really alone, and like no one gets it or cares?
• Wonder how long it takes to feel better and when it's going to end?

I have gotten hundreds of emails asking for me to share my hormone journey. I wish someone would have told me the things that I'm going to share with you today. Although every woman's hormone journey is different, and I'm not a doctor, it feels good to know that you're not alone!

Let’s dive in.

What Perimenopause Looked Like For Me

Did you...

Have you ever thought, "How do I combine my faith with my fitness?"

I sure did, so I wanted to give you a list of things that you can do today to invite God on your fitness journey! These are simple tips for every workout that are going to change everything for you! Let’s dive in!

Between Grace and Grit

Do you know what grit means? It means an indomitable spirit. It means that you are impossible to defeat. You never give up. So fitness with Jesus is in between that grace and grit. We're determined to never give up. But we do friends, we quit on bad days. Give yourself grace! When we combine grace with grit, we're a force to be reckoned with!

Women who love Jesus who are trying to get fit, we have a whole power source that the world doesn't have, not to mention grace. They're gonna give you power for your workout, motivation, and even grace that only God can give you. 

Stand on the Promises of God

We've been fooled. The world has taught us to do fitness and eating and our...

There are traps the enemy uses to throw us off our fitness goals. I’m going to share them today so you can spot them and they won’t derail your progress and success.

Whether it’s a breakthrough with food: overeating, under-eating, victory over a body image struggle or dysmorphia, or a newly found love for working out, I want you to be on guard because the devil is going to come after this area.

He hates your progress, so I want you to be on the lookout for these things so you can spot them and be like, "Oh no, you can’t shake me, let me tell you about my Jesus!"

Dear God,

Open our eyes to the schemes of the enemy, show us in these moments it's a trap. Help us hold onto our confidence and find the strength in you to keep going. Father, fitness is hard, trying to eat the foods you...

It's is the beginning of the year, and I have a message for you! God can't do a new thing and you if you're holding on to the old you. I want you to think about the things God has been calling you to lay down. What is blocking your success? Let's dive into who God says you are and how to release who we once were for His glory!

I Have Decided

I want you to think about the things God has been calling you to lay down. What is blocking your success?

I was putting my Christmas tree away, and this song came on the radio, and I could hear God's saying, "I have decided." A decision means there's no finish line. So, let's think about this…I want you to think about your fitness goals through Jesus in a completely new and fresh way. Let's dedicate our fitness to God. 

When we say we've decided we're deciding to dedicate our fitness, our health, our wholeness to God, deciding to do this takes away the finish line. Like you know, you can't just stop and stop and start...

*Freebie 10 of my favorite quick God-made Recipes.

Last night my daughter, Giavella, and I are were standing in the kitchen. I was making dinner and she said, "Mom, what did you look like when you were younger?"

I told her to watch the food while I ran into my office and grabbed an old box of photos. We laughed as we went through them, but at one point Giavella looked at me and said Mom, "Why do you look so different?"

Before I even thought about what I was going to say, I just blurted out food! 

I explained to her that I grew up thinking that dieting was the only way to get healthy and lose weight, so I’d go on a diet and lose weight and then gain weight, and this cycle was obvious in the photos. I shared with her how I never learned healthy eating habits or how to have a healthy relationship with food.
