    Ep. 151 Feel Too Far Gone to Start Again? Jesus Will Help You Get Up (Carla’s Dream Center Story)

    Send us Fan Mail Fit Sister, have you ever felt like you’ve messed up too much… fallen too many times… or gone too far to truly start over? In this deeply powerful Warrior Up conversation, I sit down with Carla inside the chapel of the Los Angeles Dream Center as she shares her raw testimony of battling alcoholism, depression, destructive relationships, and the hopeless cycle of trying rehab after rehab ~ until Jesus stepped in and changed everything. But this episode doesn’t stop at her testimony. Carla also shares how she now fights to keep going when old thoughts, exhaustion, discouragement, and the temptation to stay in bed try to pull her back. We talk honestly about prayer, discipline, confession, resilience, fitness, and why showing up, especially when you don’t feel like it, can become one of the greatest tools God uses to rebuild your life. If you are tired of starting over… if you feel mentally worn down… if you wonder if God can still restore what feels shattered… this episode is for you. ✨ In this episode we talk about: • alcoholism, depression & toxic relationship recovery • the moment Carla knew she wasn’t going back • how Jesus rebuilds women from the inside out • fighting discouragement with prayer & truth • why discipline matters when feelings fail • how fitness helped strengthen Carla mentally and spiritually • practical encouragement for the woman who feels stuck Fit Sister, no matter how low you feel right now, believe this: Jesus can help you get up. 🎧 Listen now and be encouraged.

    Ep. 149 Strength Training Isn't Optional in Midlife, Fit Sister (Here's Why)

    Send us Fan Mail Fit Sister… If you’ve been feeling tired, weaker, or like your body just isn’t responding the way it used to… this episode is for you. Strength training is not just a “nice option.” It’s non-negotiable if you want to feel better, move well, and stay energized as you get older. And no… this isn’t about bodybuilding or spending hours in the gym. This is about: * Supporting your body * Strengthening your muscles and bones * Balancing your hormones * Showing up for your life and your calling with energy and confidence I’m also sharing something personal in this episode (about my dad and my mom) and how both of their stories shaped the way I see strength, health, and not taking this life for granted. Fit Sister… you don’t wait until something is taken from you to start taking care of your body. You start now. With what you have. With Jesus. And He is all that you need. Amen.  “Do not grow weary in doing good…” (Galatians 6:9) In this episode, I’ll walk you through: • What strength training really is (and what it’s not) • Why it matters more than ever in midlife • The simple science behind how it helps your body • How to start, even if you feel tired, busy, or unsure Let’s do this together… with Jesus at the center. 3  If this encouraged you, please share it with another Fit Sister who needs this reminder today.  Want to go deeper?

    Ep. 148 Why You Keep Starting Over in Fitness & How to Stay Consistent with Jesus

    Send us Fan Mail Fit Sister… this one is for you. Have you ever felt so motivated to start your fitness journey… only to lose momentum a few days or weeks later? You’re not alone, and there is so much hope in Jesus. In today’s episode of The Warrior Up Podcast, we’re getting to the root of why consistency feels so hard, and how to finally break the cycle… not by chasing feelings, but by standing firm in your identity in Christ. Because the truth is… Your feelings will come and go. But God’s truth never changes. In this episode, we talk about: Why motivation fades (and what’s really happening) The battle in your mind, and how to win it with God’s Word What science says about habits and how it aligns with Scripture How to stop starting over and start building true consistency Practical, faith-filled steps to help you show up, even when you don’t feel like it This is about more than workouts. This is about renewing your mind, strengthening your spirit, and learning to move your body from a place of being loved, not striving.
