    362 // Don't Miss Today While Waiting for Tomorrow | Every Day Is Worth Celebrating

    Have you ever found yourself saying, "I can't wait until..."? Until the wedding, the arrival of a baby, the weekend, retirement, better health, or the next chapter of your life? In this episode, I share how waiting for marriage became one of the greatest seasons of spiritual growth in my life. Through surrendering my timeline to God, I discovered that the waiting wasn't wasted it was where God was preparing my heart. Together, we'll explore why we often rush toward the next milestone while overlooking the ordinary moments that truly shape us. Because it's often the small, faithful steps we take today that lead to tomorrow's greatest celebrations. If you've been feeling impatient, anxious about the future, or simply longing for what's next, this episode is an invitation to slow down, trust God's timing, and embrace the gift of today. Remember: Stop waiting to live. Today is already a gift worth celebrating.

    Dating in midlife can feel intimidating, especially if you’re starting over after divorce, the loss of a spouse, or many years of being single.

We talk about: 💛 My journey through online dating 💛 The pros and cons of dating apps 💛 Why online dating may actually reduce unnecessary rejection 💛 The importance of taking action instead of waiting for love to find you 💛 Trusting God’s timing while remaining open to new opportunities If you’re wondering whether online dating is right for you, I hope my story encourages you to approach this season with wisdom, courage, and faith. ✨ Sometimes God works through unexpected paths… and for me, that path began with an online dating profile.

    359 // I Started HRT 30 Days Ago… Here’s What’s Working (and What’s Not)

    I started HRT 30 days ago and I’m opening up about what this journey has really been like so far. Before starting hormone replacement therapy, I spent a lot of time trying to get my health, fitness, nutrition, sleep, and lifestyle in order. I was exercising, eating well, staying active, and doing the things I knew were important for my health in midlife. And while I was seeing some results, I still didn’t feel like myself. Then came the decision to start HRT. Now, 30 days in, I’m sharing what I’m taking, what has changed, what hasn’t, and some of the things that surprised me along the way including waking up one morning and realizing I felt many of the same symptoms I had before starting. I’ve experienced things like fatigue and leg cramps, and I’m still figuring out what my body is telling me. This isn’t medical advice or a promise of what HRT will do for anyone else. It’s simply my personal experience as a woman navigating midlife, menopause, hormones, fitness, nutrition, and faith and I want to be transparent about the journey. I’m not sharing this because I have all the answers. I’m sharing it because I’m living it. And I’ll continue documenting this journey as I learn what’s working, what’s not working, and how my body changes over time. If you’re a woman navigating perimenopause, menopause, hormone changes, or simply trying to feel like yourself again in midlife, I hope you’ll follow along. We’re figuring this out together. 🌿 Download the Free 7 Holy Habits Guide: https:// bit.ly/7holyhabits 📬 Sign-up for weekly newsletters and more: https://substack.com/@fitandfueledbyfaith 📸 Connect on Instagram: https://instagram.com/fitandfueledbyfaith   📺 Watch full episodes on YouTube: https://youtube.com/@fitandfueledbyfaith Fit and Fueled by Faith is a faith and wellness podcast for women over 40 who want to feel strong, energized, and rooted in faith. Hosted by Stacey Ziegler, NASM-CPT, Certified Holistic Health and Life Coach.

    358// The Truth About Midlife No One Posts Online!

    What if the most powerful thing you could hear today isn’t another expert opinion—but someone simply saying, “Me too”? In this episode, I’m taking you on a walk with me as we talk honestly about the realities of midlife. From hormones and HRT to social media, comparison, and learning to let go of perfection, I’m sharing what’s happening in my own life in real time. No script. No filters. No pretending. Just one woman walking through midlife with Christ and inviting you to walk alongside her. If you’ve ever felt like you’re trying to figure it all out while everyone else seems to have it together, I hope this episode reminds you that you’re not alone—and that God is present in every step of the journey.

    357 // Your Body Remembers What Your Mind Tried to Forget | Is Your Past Affecting Your Health?

    Ten years ago, I experienced one of the darkest nights of my life. For the first time, I’m sharing what happened, how it affected me, and the long journey toward healing. This episode is about more than trauma—it’s about finding the strength to move forward. I also share why forgiveness became one of the hardest, yet most freeing, decisions I’ve ever made. Forgiveness didn’t erase what happened or excuse it, but it helped me let go of the bitterness that could have kept me trapped in the past. Even in the same season that held unimaginable pain, God brought unexpected hope and new beginnings. If you’ve ever wondered whether healing is possible after heartbreak or trauma, I pray this story reminds you that your past does not have to define your future. Content note: This episode includes discussion of physical abuse that may be difficult for some listeners.
