Want to Transform your diet struggles into peaceful victories?

Today I will teach you how to embrace grace and freedom in Christ as you break free from diet culture's grip!

I know God is calling me to write this blog for you because every day I get emails, DMs, or comments on my posts with phrases like. 

- I struggle with self-control, no matter how hard I try I always mess up.

- I was doing so good and then I gained 40 pounds back so I’m on whatever diet plan again but it’s not working why?

- I’m promising to eat cleaner and try harder to work out and I’m praying God will help me.

- And why do I keep sabotaging myself?

Every time I read these comments they hurt my heart! Ladies, we are so deceived by diet culture.

Fitness Can Feel So Lonely

Have you ever felt like no one understands what you’re going through when it comes to getting fit? Well, friend, this is going to show you that you are seen, heard, and known and certainly not alone.

One of the hardest things about fitness is that it can feel so lonely. And when you’re really trying to get healthy it can feel like every meal and every workout is just another thing you have to do alone and in your own willpower. But it doesn’t have to be that way.

These women found hope and answers in God through the Strong. Confident. His. Podcast and my books, Faith Inspired Transformation, The Strong. Confident. His. Faith and Fitness Devotional and my newest book,...

 My Before and After

I know someone else needs to hear this. I'm praying as I'm typing that it will help you and you won't give up on your health and fitness goals.

It's hard for me to be vulnerable and share my before photo. To be honest, I don't have many old photos because I threw them away. I was horrified by pictures back then. 

This picture on the left is me before God. I was only 25. I had never worked out consistently, didn't know how to eat healthy, and I was miserable in my skin.

All I knew was dieting. That's what the world taught me. My weight went up and down and so did my worth.

But God! He met me in my pain and He helped me, so as your sister in Christ,  I'm going to share the first step that I took that changed everything. I made you a helpful guide that lays out the steps. Download it here. 

My Before. Without God in my fitness:

• I was taught dieting was how you get healthy
• I relied on willpower and self-confidence
• My weight went up and down and so did m...
