Let’s walk into the holidays with peace, purpose, and confidence — together. 💗
In this episode, we’re talking about one of the most powerful truths in weight loss — why your motivation matters more than your willpower.
So often we think we just need more discipline or a better plan… But the real reason we burn out is because our “why” is too heavy.
If your motivation to lose weight comes from pressure — trying to fix yourself, prove yourself, or earn your worth — it will always feel exhausting.
But when you shift from proving to partnering, from trying harder to trusting Jesus, everything changes.
💗 You can show up because you love yourself, not because you’re trying to fix yourself. 💗 You can stay consistent because you want to see how much God can grow you. 💗 You can walk in peace knowing Jesus doesn’t just change our bodies — He transforms our hearts.
This is what real, lasting transformation looks like — light, joyful, and anchored in truth.
💬 In This Episode:
Why heavy motivation leads to burnout
How to identify when your “why” is rooted in pressure
The difference between proving and partnering
What happens when you shift from control to trust
How Jesus changes not just your habits — but your heart

#189 - The Weight of Motivation
If your motivation to lose weight feels heavy, this episode will help you breathe again.
We often start our weight-loss journeys from pressure — thinking, “I should get it together,” or “I’ll finally love myself when I lose weight.” But those reasons come from guilt, not grace — and they drain our energy fast.
Today, I’m helping you trade those heavy motivations for ones that come from peace, purpose, and love. Because when your “why” is rooted in truth, staying committed stops feeling like punishment and starts feeling like worship.
✨ The Gift Exchange — my 8-week program to lay down body burdens and pick up God’s truth. You’ll learn to stop overeating for good, find peace with food, and love your body from the inside out.

#187 - The One Fear Holding Us back
When it comes to weight loss, we often think our biggest fear is failing — slipping up, gaining it back, or starting over again. But the truth? The greatest fear holding us back isn’t failure. It’s feeling bad.
In this episode, we’ll look at what fear really is — a thought in your mind that creates a feeling in your body — and how you can stop letting it run your day. You’ll learn how to see fear as a signal, not a stop sign, and how to invite God’s truth into the moments that feel the hardest.
This one’s deeply encouraging and practical. You’ll walk away knowing that fear doesn’t mean stop — it just means you care. And with God, you can keep going.
💗 Ready to go deeper? Join the Stay Committed Masterclass Series! In this free 2-week experience, we’ll talk about: 💬 The fears that hold you back (and what God says instead) 📖 How to use your Daily Protocol Planner to stay consistent 🙌 Live accountability + coaching calls on Mondays & Thursdays
