Have you ever wondered why it feels so hard to stay motivated on your fitness journey—especially when you're doing it for the right reasons?

You've tried the plans, the workouts, maybe even the accountability groups, and still... motivation fizzles out. You’re not alone—and you’re not doing it wrong. You just need a faith-fueled approach that works from the inside out.

In this blog (and podcast), I’ll share why motivation keeps slipping away—and what to do instead to stay consistent and committed as a Christian woman.

Why Motivation Fades (Even When You Want It So Badly)

Motivation is a feeling. And feelings? They're inconsistent. One day you’re all in, the next you're overwhelmed, exhausted, or discouraged. When your fitness journey is built on feelings, it’s bound to fall apart the moment life gets hard.

God never meant for you to be powered by fleeting feelings—He ...

Christian Fitness for Women 

Do you sometimes feel like fitness is a constant struggle, a cycle of starting and stopping that never brings the results you want? You’re not alone, sister. The world tells us to chase perfection, but that’s not God’s way. What if I told you your workouts could become a meaningful act of worship instead of a source of frustration?

As Christian women, fitness doesn’t have to be about worldly pressures or chasing perfection. Instead, we can transform our exercise routines into acts of worship, aligning them with God’s purpose for our lives.

In this new episode I’ll share:

• How to reframe your workouts as worship.

• Bible verses that inspire Christ-centered fitness.

• Practical, faith-filled steps to honor God through movement.

Plus, I’ll introduce an exciting workshop designed to help you reset your fitness journey with God leading the way.

In today’s podcast episode, I’m diving into what it means to truly surrender your fitness goals to God, trust His process, and embrace the waiting season.  He’s working even when you can’t see it!

You know, so often in our fitness journey, we want things to happen right now. Whether it's weight loss, muscle gain, or just feeling more confident in our bodies—we set these timelines for ourselves. We say things like, 'I’ll be at my goal weight by this date,' or 'I’m going to work out every day this month,' but what happens when those timelines don’t line up with reality? Maybe you don’t see the results you wanted as quickly as you hoped, or life gets busy, and you fall off track.

Today, I’m diving into how to stay fit over the summer and while traveling, God's Way. Let's get started!

Have you ever noticed how distractions increase during summer vacations, pulling your focus away from your routine, your fitness goals, and your time with God? Remember, if the enemy can steal your health, he can steal your future. From June to August, everything seems to be about indulgence and relaxation, but we should celebrate our blessings without losing sight of our health and wholeness. The stress of perfect vacations, activities, and appearances can make us forget Jesus.

Summer is like a long, extended holiday. There is a huge temptation to think, "I’m too busy, I don’t have time to read my Bible," or "I’ll eat whatever I want and skip my workouts for the next few months and really go for it in the fall." We've all been there. Remember how far this sets you back. Ignorance is not bliss; we reap what we sow and don't want to start the fall with extra weight from over...
