Do you wish you could consistently make the healthy choices you know you should?
Are you tired of the emotional rollercoaster of guilt, comparison or insecurity?
Do you want to finally lose weight for good WITHOUT all the overwhelming diets and exercise programs?
Are you ready to have more time and energy for yourself, your family and your life?
In this podcast you will find simple Biblical strategies to set you free from the shame of diet culture so you can live confidently in body, mind and spirit. I believe that you can consistently make the healthier choice, find freedom and joy, and strengthen your faith in God without feeling like you’re sacrificing time, being selfish, or stuck in the cycle of always having to get back on track. My mission is to equip you to live healthy through spiritual growth, fitness made simple, intuitive eating and mindfulness.
If you’re ready to become your healthiest self, live in true confidence as the woman God created you to be, and leave behind everything that hasn’t worked for you - you’re in the right place!
Hey, I’m Lauren! A wife, mom, and healthy lifestyle & biblical mindset coach. But most importantly I am a Jesus-loving encourager!
I am passionate about growing in deeper relationship with God and encouraging other moms, like you, towards Him as you pursue confidence, freedom, and joy in your health. I believe living healthy can be simple and fun and ultimately allow you to grow closer to God and walk more fully in the purposes He has for you.
I have walked through the ups and downs life can bring, broken free from the diet culture this world is obsessed with and, through many years of struggling, finally discovered the secret and beauty of getting healthy from the inside out!
You don’t have to seek health on your own or the world’s way. Trust me, it’s not fun! I’ve been where you are now. I’ve tried dieting and strict workout programs and even got to my goal weight, but it left me feeling just as empty, insecure and full of shame as I was before. What I discovered is when you set God as your foundation then you will walk empowered to create a healthy lifestyle in a way that will stick as you seek to know Him more through your journey.
I live as the healthiest version of myself each and every day, walking in true confidence as the woman God has created me to be. Now, I want to empower you to do the same!
If you are ready to finally find an easy way to consistently make the best choices for your health, follow a simple eating plan that works for you and your family, and enjoy your exercise routine all while keeping God your focus - this podcast is for you!

82. Ready For a Break From All the To-Do’s of Health and Life? How Rhythms of Weekly Sabbath Rest Can Help You Live With More Peace and Less Stress
Do you find yourself working and stressing all week long, never finding time to take a break?
Are you wondering if something like weekly Sabbath is even possible for a busy mom like you?
Do you believe the Lord is calling to something more with Him but can’t seem to find enough to seek Him and find out?
With all of the to-do’s looming over your head, especially when you think about what you want to do to be living “healthy,” it can be really overwhelming to think about now setting aside more time for weekly rest too! I know first hand that it can be challenging, especially if you’re anything like me and are driven by achievement, accomplishment and productivity. But the Lord has been teaching me so much about rest and I want to share it with you!
Today, I want to talk about what developing a weekly rhythm of rest might look like for you and how it can impact your ability to live the healthy and empowered life you are longing for.
Even if you have good rhythms of daily rest like sleeping and quiet times, the Bible has some things to teach about having weekly rhythms in place too for resting.
Grab your Bible and a notebook and let’s get into it!
I pray you are blessed and encouraged by this episode as you journey forward living healthy and empowered by the grace of God and all for His glory!
In Joy,
Lauren

81. Find it Challenging to Make Healthy Decisions When You’re Tired? How Rhythms of Daily Rest Will Give You Energy, Emotional Stability and Mental Clarity
Are you tired of feeling tired day in and day out?
Do you wonder if there will ever come a time in your life where you don’t feel stressed?
Are you curious if resting will truly create more peace than chaos in your days?
The truth is…REST is so much more than sleep.
When you are well rested, you live a calm and peaceful life.
When you are well rested you have energy to do the things you need to do and mental capacity to make the decisions that need to be made.
When you are well rested you can manage your emotions rather than let your emotions manage you.
Today I want to talk about daily rhythms of rest - more than just sleep - that you can implement so you can begin to live with less stress, more energy, and truly make your healthiest decisions consistently.
Grab your Bible and a notebook and let’s get into it!
I pray you are blessed and encouraged by this episode as you journey forward living healthy and empowered by the grace of God and all for His glory!
In Joy,
Lauren

79. Wondering What’s Really Behind Your Digestion Problems? How to Find Out What Your Body Really Needs With Special Guest Allison Jordan [Part 2]
Have you tried more food restrictions than you’d like and found that they are not helping your digestion issues?
Are you tired of dealing with gut discomfort…you know bloating, constipation, all the things… and not knowing what is causing it?
Do you find yourself wondering why regular doctors and traditional medicine aren’t helping with any of it?
Well, let’s talk about that today!
Because the truth is that you shouldn’t have to live with gut discomfort and digestion issues any more or deal with traditional medicine and food restriction that isn’t helping!
The last thing I want is for you to NOT be able to do the things that the Lord is calling you to do in this life because your health is holding you back.
What I get to share in today’s episode is that it turns out there could be other underlying causes of your gut health issues AND solutions that are not related to your diet.
Tune into the second half of this interview with my guest Allison Jordan. Make sure to stick around until the end because she has a super special offer just for the listeners of this podcast.
Also, if you haven’t listened to part 1 of this interview, pause this and go listen to that first, episode 78!
I pray you are blessed and encouraged by this conversation as you journey forward living healthy and empowered by the grace of God and all for His glory! Let’s get into it!

Connect with Allison Jordan:
Allison is a functional medicine health coach, certified craniosacral therapist, gut health nerd, and in addition to those fancy credentials, is also a marathon runner, author, wife, momma, and seeker of all things better health and better life.
She helps women end bloating and constipation through functional lab testing and rad science! As you’ll hear her share, she ended up doing this when God led her through her own journey of illness that no doctor could fix. While she prayed repeatedly for God to heal her, instead, He led her to functional lab testing and understanding why traditional health advice isn’t healing women or giving them the health they want.
She founded Better Belly Therapies to help both local and virtual clients who are searching for answers, but have hit a dead end in gut health solutions.
