    Faith, Fitness & False Idols: Tori’s Path to Peace

    This week, Brent sits down with Tori Penta — athlete, yoga teacher, and founder of Holy Body — to talk about the messy, beautiful journey of transformation. Tori opens up about life after a decade-long relationship, hitting rock bottom with mental health, and moving to Austin to rebuild her life from the ground up. With honesty, humor, and heart, she shares how training with Brent helped her reconnect with her athletic roots, rebuild strength after a back injury, and rediscover confidence in her body. This conversation dives into the intersection of faith, fitness, and discipline — from navigating the spiritual “false prophets” of Austin, to finding peace in Jesus, to creating a new movement practice that blends yoga, breath, and worship. If you’ve ever felt lost, anxious, or stuck chasing someone else’s version of health and beauty, Tori’s story will inspire you to take back your power, embrace strength, and root your life in something real. 00:00 – Introduction 06:00 – Hitting Rock Bottom 15:00 – Anxiety, Faith & False Idols 28:00 – Coming Back to Strength 40:00 – Why Weak Workouts Don’t Work 55:00 – Finding Peace in Faith 1:02:00 – Holy Body: The Next Chapter ​Instagram: @toripenta ​Studio: Yoga Home, Austin TX​Upcoming Events: #HolyBody ​Free E-book → Download Here​Living Lean Program → www.livinglean.shop​Instagram → @bodiesbybrent​Email → brent@bodiesbybrent.com Episode Chapters Connect with Tori Connect with Brent

    Brad Evarts: From Near-Death to Legacy, Family, and the Best Salsa in Texas

    At 15 years old, Brad Evarts nearly died in a car crash that claimed two lives. That moment shaped everything — setting him on a path defined by resilience, faith, and second chances. From building iconic restaurants in California, to experiencing devastating setbacks, to moving to Texas with his wife Julie and creating Moose Farmz — Brad’s story is bold, raw, and deeply inspiring. Today, their handcrafted pozole, gazpacho, and fresh salsas are quickly becoming favorites at the Barton Creek Farmers Market and beyond. Beyond food and business, Brad trains with me weekly. At 60+, his discipline, energy, and childlike spirit are powerful reminders that it’s never too late to reinvent yourself. Many listeners will also recognize Brad as the father of Lauryn Bosstick, creator of The Skinny Confidential. Having Lauryn as a client and friend for the past four years has been a profound gift in my life — and training with Brad has given me a deeper appreciation for where so much of her brilliance and strength come from. This conversation is about faith, family, resilience, and the fire to keep living fully at every age.
