On the new episode of The Strong. Confident. His. Podcast, I’m sharing what I’ve learned about Hormones and Menopause, Birthdays, and Milestones! 

Milestones

The Bible says in Proverbs 16:3 Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and he will establish your plans.

I just went through a huge Milestone launching my Fit God's Way 30-Day Transformation Course, it was something I had hidden in my heart. It was my big dream, so I feel led to talk to the girl who knows in her bones, that God has called her to do something! 

This is for you. The time is now! Don’t wait anymore. Don’t listen to the world, the enemy, or even your inner critic. It’s time to put a stake in the ground and claim what God has given you. 

So if you’re the girl who’s… like she’s talking to me and you need to put your stake in the ground but you are struggling with doubts or fears, go take my God’s Blueprint for Success Workshop....

Sisters, I had a moment this week. It was like Jesus connected all the pieces of my fitness goals and my hormonal weight struggle. Everything clicked together, and I could see the clouds lift.

Today I’m going to share the things I learned and the conversation I had with a top integrative Doctor that made this happen.

 If this is your struggle, I want this clarity for you too!

Before you read another word, let’s pray.

Father God, Help reveal to my Sister what is keeping her from her best health and fitness. Give her clarity. Show her you are with her. God throughout the day, help her remember to stay connected to you. The answers to her problems and the consistency she needs are found in you, Don’t let her lose hope. Father do a new thing in her today, show her it isn’t over, and the best is yet to come.

In Jesus’ name, amen.

Here's what I'll cover:

• Feeling unlike yourself...could it be perimenopause or menopause?
