------ A Prayer for Those in Waiting Dear Lord, You are good. You are good no matter what, no matter when, and always. You reign Sovereign in every season. You are never perplexed, never surprised, and never confused by what I face. I have confidence that You have been working and will continue working to fulfill Your plan in my life for my good and for Your glory. Father, in this season of waiting, I need You near to me. Surround me with Your presence. My heart is fragile in the in-between, and I cannot trust my human emotions. Forgive me for the moments where I grasp for control instead of fully surrendering to You. Forgive me for allowing my thoughts to spiral into worry instead of taking those thoughts captive and turning them into prayers. Forgive me for giving into fear and anxiety instead of trusting in Your promise that You are good, and You care for me. Forgive me, Lord, if I exalt myself by allowing my circumstances to dictate my faith and trust in You. Forgive me for wasting my moments on what-ifs instead of using my moments to worship. Be evident to me, God. Bring to my mind the evidence of Your faithfulness in my life – past and present. Interrupt my spiraling thoughts and remind me of Your Truth. Humble me with Your peace and sovereignty. Bring me to my knees in prayer and supplication with thanksgiving. I accept Your peace, which goes beyond my understanding, that I might guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus. I will worship You for commanding things to unfold exactly as they should. I surrender to You, Almighty God. My heart, my thoughts, my circumstances, my future; it is all Yours. I lay it at Your feet in full surrender, knowing that my life is best in Your hands. I cannot do it myself, Lord, and I don’t want to, Because I know that there is freedom in my full surrender. Be near to me, Lord. I do not want to go anywhere where You are not evidently before me. But sometimes, I move forward in an effort to make my own way, find my own path, or placate my anxious heart. Stop me, gracious Father, from moving in any direction that You have not ordained for me. Trip my step, avert my eyes, and disrupt my route until I am back in step with You. Help me have peace in Your pacing. You love me too much to do anything outside of Your perfect timing. I surrender all to You, Lord. I need You. I praise You. I love You. Thank You for loving me. Amen. By Lisa Beymer
In this thought-provoking episode, Sarah delves into the profound message of Galatians 5:16 and its connection to being conscientious stewards of the resources we've been entrusted with. Join Sarah as she explores the wisdom behind "walking by the Spirit" and how it guides us away from gratifying the desires of the flesh. We'll uncover the timeless relevance of Galatians in the Christian faith and shed light on its practical applications for today's world.
Sarah dissects the verse's meaning and implications, investigating how aligning our actions with spiritual guidance leads to a righteous life. The journey continues by bridging this spiritual insight to the concept of stewardship—a holistic approach to responsibly managing our finances, environment, time, talents, and relationships.
Drawing inspiration from the parable of the talents, we see how stewardship is deeply rooted in biblical teachings and how it harmonizes with the principles of Galatians 5:16. Delving into the heart of the matter, we explore how walking by the Spirit transforms our attitudes toward material possessions and resources, encouraging us to be thoughtful and compassionate stewards.
Amidst the challenges of today's consumer-driven society, Sarah candidly address the struggles of maintaining a spiritual walk while striving to be good stewards. However, the rewards of aligning our lives with these principles are immeasurable.
In the final segments, we guide you through introspection and application, urging you to reflect on your own life and identify areas for growth in stewardship. Setting achievable goals, Sarah challenges you to integrate the teachings of Galatians 5:16 and responsible stewardship into your daily life.
Tune in to uncover the transformative power of Galatians 5:16 and learn how to navigate life's complexities with spiritual wisdom and responsible stewardship.

So you are ready to transform your body? That's amazing.
Remember, diets treat only the symptom - not the root problem. I think we use them for a quick fix because they are easier than doing the heart work.
But we need the heart work for transformations.
Sister, I encourage you to lean in, listen to this podcast with an open heart, and trust God's opinion of you and stop listening to the lies.
That way, you can be a good steward of all your resources and truly transform every area of your life.

I keep seeing all these amazing results from 75 Hard. No, it's not a diet per se; however, this mental toughness challenge has many incredible outcomes that are seen and unseen. Ya'll, I've done it - twice - so I know.

PS
I think 75 Hard is amazing - and I will do it again - when the season is right.

Weight loss is hard. It becomes even harder when we miss the first step - starting with gratitude for the body you have and kicking the desire to look like anyone else but you to the curb.
In today's podcast, I look at the weight loss journey (or any goal you might have) through the lens of Solomon's wisdom in Ecclesiastes 6:9 (NLT):
Enjoy what you have rather than desiring what you don’t have.
I hope this message encourages you and helps you purposefully live the life God created for you.
Love you!!

In today's podcast, I talk about how changing your mindset and setting up some marker in your life will help you stay focused on living a life full of purpose that God created just for you.

Summer is lovely, but it is also so hard. With the kids home, it feels like we have to wear all the hats all the time. Not only does that get really exhausting - the task leaves us feeling like we are being a crappy [fill in the blank]. Ya know? Yes, there is an ease to the summer, but there is also considerable tension. In today's podcast, I hope to encourage mamas struggling with the pressure, give practical advice on how to rock your summer, and reframe how you see the struggle.

I know...eat more. Sounds like I'm crazy; however, rhe first thing I ask most of my clients to do is eat more (and sleep more but that's a conversation for another time).
Why? Well much like you can't have a roaring fire without the wood, your body's metabolism needs food to work optimally. It appears to be counter-intuitive thanks to the marketing strategies of the diet culture. But it's needed...take a listen to find out more.

The truth is we have a choice. Believe in the truth or buying into the lies. What we choose has the power to keep feeling stuck in a crazy downward spiral OR set us free from toxic thoughts and into a life full of freedom. Whatever our anxiety - it falls into one of these three categories of lies: I'm unworthy. I'm unloveable. I'm helpless. But sisters, that's not the truth. Listen in and be empowered to make the brave choice and believe God's truths about you.
Let's fight, ladies! Be brave and fight!

Last night in a dark room, I hit a wall; I've walked my room numerous times without running into something, so what gives this time? Turns out I was turned around a bit, so I was going off course as I moved forward. I just needed a little light to see things more clearly.
Often, this is what happens in diets, we start taking steps forward, but our approach isn't locked into the coordinates of our truly desired goals.
But when we turn on the light and start loving our beautiful bodies as they are, something happens. We honor them in our choices vs. demanding them to change. And a new life is born, and a radical new way of living remains. Change takes root in the fertile soil of love.

The goal of being healthier is worthwhile. However, problems pop up when the definition of "healthy" leans heavily into diet culture.

Have a ton of thoughts that bombard your every moment? Ya, me too.
The problem comes in when we accept our thoughts to be true without sifitng them out. Just like gemstone miners use a sieve to sift out the muck revealing the beautiful stones, we must do the same with our thoughts. We must let the thoughts that don't align with God's Word and His truth to drop fall through the sieve.
After all, our actions are determined by our thinking. If you want to change your habits, you must change your thinking first.

Nearly 6 years ago, I ran myself ragged throwing everything I had to get visible abs. Rushing through quick devotionals every morning (check box) and investing hours every day in working out, preparing foods - it was an unhealthy obsession.
My priorities were off. A big shift occurred and now...now everything is different. I prioritize spiritual growth and that changes everything...listen in.

When you go on a road trip, your GPS isn't telling you what your last turn will be. Instead, it has you focused on the road ahead of you and your next turn. If you are feeling stuck in your weight loss journey and all you can think about is the end result - stop - that's stealing your energy, time, and even worse focus. Instead, look at what you can control right now - your next small step - and bravely take it.

Stop waiting to reach a number on the scale or a certain clothing size. Your body is worthy of love now - as is - so be brave and choose love. Not just for you, but for your kids too.

"Comparison makes you want a life that's not yours. Comparison makes you live a life that's not yours." - Trent Shelton
These 2 lines hit me hard, so I wanted to lean in a bit to comparison.
The truth is that you have a behind the scenes look at your life. Are you comparining that to someone's (including your old self's) highlight reel? I would encourage you to take a listen and do a bit of reflection.

On this special Sunday edition, I'm asking God to change my vision. You see, I want to see me how God sees me - worthy, loved, enough, His daughter, lovely, a delight... That way I have a deeper why. Why I should honor my body in the things I think and do.
I'd love for you to take a listen, be encouraged to create a small internal shift, and do one thing every day this week that honors your greatest gift, your body.
Verses mentioned:
Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. - 2 Corinthians 5:17
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ. - Ephesians 1:3
Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies. - 1 Corinthians 6:19-20
"Everything is permissible,” but not everything is beneficial. “Everything is permissible,” but not everything builds up. -1 Corinthians 6:12

I had the chance to sit down with my friend Heather Suchma. An incredible human being - a loving wife, mom of 3 girls, building an empire together with her husband, and seriously the kindest soul you will ever meet.
She's over a year postpartum and ready to figure out how to show up for and love herself (body, mind, and soul) the way she loves her girls.
She's done with quick fixes and is ready to set her heart on things that last knowing that is the key to what she truly desires. I can't wait for you to listen in.

Special Sunday Edition digging into something I've been wrestling with for the past few weeks...
I have some pretty gnarly fears and loud voices trying to push me off the path to my greatest ambitions.
Here's what I know - I don't' need some grand actions to prove to myself that I am worthy of my calling (and either do you). We just need little steps of faith.
Overcome fear with action.

The theme of this year seems to be "stronger through struggle." Do you feel that?!
The problem is as humans we aren't so willing to jump into hard - most of us aren't excited about the struggle and carry around limiting beliefs that we can't do the hard thing(s) that scares us.
However, you have the control and you can flip that narrative - take a listen.

Client Spotlight: Three women going through my program (who initially hired me to help them with fat loss) decided that pursuing their fat loss goals wasn't the best for them. All their reasons are different but their whys all point back to doing what's best for their long term goals and that is such a big win! Confidence to choose what's best for you is so empowering.

I asked my FB community how they rated themselves with meal planning on a scale of 1-10.
1 - when I'm hungry I open the fridge to see what we have.
10 - I meal prep on Sunday and have all my meals cooked and in containers for the week
Most of the people fell in the 0-3, which made them feel frustrated, overwhelmed, anxious, out of control...
That's not a fun place to be so I wanted to create a small step plan that actually helps you create success today.

Motivation is powerful, no denying that.
Do you know what else is powerful? A plan. Action in alignment with your desires/goal/your mountain top.
And remember with every step why you are doing what you are doing. Especially when you don't want to be doing any of it and/or it feels really hard.
I hope you were encouraged by today's podcast.

SAL DI STEFANO! I got to meet Sal in person in Scottsdale December 2019 and let me tell you - he's one of the good guys. Kind, compassionate, and oh so wise. I knew without a doubt I wanted to talk to him about dietary/food freedom. So I was so excited he said yes to being a part of this series. As you will hear, Sal believes everyone is capable of dietary freedom meaning you "live your life in a way where you are eating and it serves you to the fullest." BUT there are challenges. Thankfully, this conversation is filled to the brim of so much really great advice. Follow Sal on Instagram. Listen to Mind Pump Podcast. For more ways to connect to me:

The man, the myth, the legend - Jason Phillips!
You won't want to miss this conversation I had with Jason.
He's spent the last 17 years in the nutrition industry - coaching over 10,000 clients and creating amazing certifications, where he's certified over 3,000 coaches.
All that to say, his insight on dieting is spot on.
If you can't remember a time where you thought you should be on a diet or were on a diet, then you MUST listen.
Also, you probably also don't want to miss his offer at the end.
