If you've ever felt like you were drowning in the dumps after your baby arrived, even though you feel like you "should" be happy, or your faith "should" be enough to pull yourself out ... this one's for you.
I saw a gaping hole in Christian circles around the topic of Postpartum Depression, and sought out Mary Reames Rinehart of Lucera Health to bring more light to the topic. Mary drops some truth bombs with practical faith-based tips to support Christian moms who are in the thick of something way deeper than the "baby blues".
Because we don't have to suffer in silence just because we know that God loves us, and sometimes giving (what feels like defeat) a name helps us take one step closer to taming it.
So, grab a pen and paper and hit play for this LAST episode of the Strong After Birth Podcast. And, if you haven't already, hit SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube channel.

Postpartum body image can feel like a silent struggle, especially for Christian moms who know their worth is in Christ, but still wrestle with the mirror.
In today’s bonus episode, I’m joined by Heather Creekmore. Author, speaker, and host of the Compared to Who? podcast, Heather shares a powerful, grace-filled conversation about what it means to navigate body image after baby while holding fast to God’s truth.
Together, we talk about:
- The pressure to “bounce back” and why it’s so damaging
- How body image becomes a spiritual battle
- Practical ways to renew your mind with Scripture
- Why your identity never changed—even if your body did
If you’ve ever looked at your postpartum body and felt discouraged, defeated, or even ashamed then sister, this conversation is for you. You are not alone, and you are still fearfully and wonderfully made.

Sometimes the bravest thing we can do as women is make a change, am I right?
After an 8-week sabbatical (aka: me asking, “Lord, do I really need to be everywhere online at once?”), I realized it was time to make a pivot.
So, I'm closing down this podcast, leaning into what’s life-giving, and stepping into a new season on YouTube.
In this episode, I’m sharing the process God walked me through and how you can use it to prayerfully discern your own next steps (without needing your own 8-week identity crisis). 😉

Productivity is a drug that never satisfies. At least for me it never did.
I'd run from task to task without stopping to eat lunch, take a deep breath, go to bed on time, or go for a relaxing walk and wondered why I always felt this deep pit of exhaustion by the end of the week.
If that sounds like you, can I invite you to participate in a lesson that God taught me the hard way?
A lesson about the rest that God designed for us that's more satisfying than any productivity hack for motherhood out there.
No matter how many tasks we cross off our list, it can never satisfy our body, soul, and spirit the way Jesus can.
And, in today's episode, I'm going to share exactly what it looks like to model Biblical rest (even as a busy mom)

Are you the woman who grew up in the church, and maybe struggles to feel the joy that comes when you feel beautiful in your body? Or maybe you've wrestled with body shame so long that the thought of feeling beautiful feels distant even though you've seen your body's health improve postpartum ...
If so, you're not alone!
Almost two years postpartum, I've felt the same feelings that forced me to dig into what God's word says about humility and confidence in Christ found in Proverbs.
The good news is that there IS a way to Biblically embrace our beauty and practice humility at the SAME time.
Inside this episode, I pray you find joy and renewed confidence in your body's beauty from a Gospel-centered approach so you can build strength for a strong motherhood and beyond for God's glory.

Are you tired of the hampster wheel of weight loss? Do you feel tired, like you’re running out of weight loss options to try? But, also terrified to give it up? Maybe you’re like me and you’ve tried everything, Whole 30, running extra miles, doing HIIT, wearing a sweat suit, or the grapefruit and toast diet (yes, it’s a thing). I get it.
My dream was to be able to fit into my jeans, have an athletic, lean looking body and I believed (if I just focused on weight loss) I could finally ge there and be at peace with my body.
But, instead I ended up feeling frustrated, burnt out, and sad that I never saw the progress I wanted.
In today’s episode, I’m sharing why I stopped trying to lose weight and how shifting my focus actually led me to four simple strategies that ultimately helped me achieve healthy fat loss and better relationship with my body.

And, in today's episode you're getting the practical steps and mindset shifts needed to build muscle while you're balling on a budget.

8 months ago my husband and I made the decision to ban our television to the closet.
A “TV time-out”, if you will. And it was probably one of the best decisions we have made.
Before, I found myself struggling to find the time and energy to be the wife, mom, friend, and church volunteer that I wanted to be, and I knew something had to change.
So I did an evaluation to see how I could begin to repair and prosper relationships while still having the energy to grow my business.
And it started with putting the TV in timeout.
If you’re looking for the free fix for thriving energy, quality time, clearer focus, and (more importantly) a consistent time in the Word, this podcast episode is for you.

Imagine this with me. You’re sitting on the couch in your stretchy pants and oversized t-shirt, feeling exhausted from the midnight (and 1am, and 3am…) feedings, wondering if you’re going to feel like this forever.
The last thing you want to think about is mustering up the energy to workout, or even think about working out for that matter. But you know you want to build your strength back eventually...
So you scroll on Instagram or TikTok, trying to find the inspiration to move your body in a safe and healthy way.
BUT all you find are posts claiming to get your pre-pregnancy body back “in just 6 weeks!” alongside photoshopped women with “perfectly” flat tummies and six-pack abs.
Encouraging, isn’t it? 😬
Mama, just know you are not alone in the fight with society’s postpartum body standards.

Did you know that over 50% of active women would say that they are their own worst critic and that if they’re being honest they most often critique their body?
Over HALF of women are not satisfied with their bodies and live in a body that they don’t love.
Shocking, I know …
But, maybe knowing this gives you some relief to know that you’re NOT ALONE.
But, why is this number so astounding?
Why do SO MANY women feel this way, especially in the church?
What if we (as believers) could find freedom from guilt and shame surrounding our bodies?
Imagine feeling so confident in your body that you could walk into a party in a new dress size (that’s bigger than your last) and NOT feel anxious, ashamed, or guilty about it …
Imagine using the Bible as a source of comfort and truth that provides a sense of lasting relief AND knowing how to share that with the women around you who are hurting.
That’s exactly what you’ll be getting from this NEW 3-part Series of the HTS Podcast: Bodies and Bibles.
Here’s what you’ll take away from part one …
- How the enemy sneakily uses a distorted image of self to steal God’s glory & our joy
- What are the sneaky signs of body shame that many Christian women label as “normal” but are hurting our confidence?
- The first step to start healing from body image struggles (it’s likely not what you think!)

Which is why, I’m so excited to share this eye opening conversation I had with registered dietitian, Christa Smith (@christasmithnutrition)!

No gym membership, no kettlebell, certainly no barbell whatsoever …
Just a few random dusty dumbbells sitting in the corner, deep desire to not have stick arms or exhaustion at the end of the day, and a tug to get stronger
Can you really build muscle and become stronger with just that?
Turns out, you CAN! And I know because Ariel Laviolette (my middle sister) did it!
She listened to that tug and made the leap.
And now, she not only has strong arms and thick legs, but she’s been able to put that strong body to good use and help her friends move couches, serve at her church, and be more present with her husband and friends (because she’s not dragging at the end of the day anymore!)
So, you BET I wanted to share her story with you!
I was able to catch her just before she was going into a workout and recorded a golden nugget filled episode.
Here’s what you’ll hear us talk about:
- How Ariel DOUBLED her squat strength in the first three months
- How she’s been less judgemental and doesn’t feel the need to wear sweaters and coverups any more
- How she’s been feeling MORE energy after her workouts
- How she’s over 30 and doesn’t have joint pain or discomfort
- What ALMOST held her back from investing in herself
- How she’s become more joyful and grateful in her body
I love this episode because Ariel’s experience flied in the face of all of the
Yeah buts that we could have stopped her. But didn’t. Don’t let them stop you either!

Women are simultaneously told that our bodies are a beautiful temple for the Holy Spirit, while also that we should be modest and almost hide ourselves.
The fact is, so many hard-working, Christian women miss out on the freedom and confidence that comes from a body image rooted in Christ, and instead battle thoughts of insecurity and self-doubt.
Which is why I’m so excited to share this life-giving conversation I had with Christian Fitness Coach, Hannah Roy! (@hannahroyfit)
In this episode of the HTS podcast, you’ll get a behind the scenes look at:
- Why pursuing modesty out of habit rather than from the heart can rob us of joy
- 3 powerful strategies to help you see your body the way God does
- How to approach the mirror with confidence
If you’re ready to find out how to pursue beauty from the inside out, so that you can have more joy, confidence and peace in your body, then tune in now!

Have you ever felt stuck in the messy middle of loving your body but still wanting to change it?
So many active, Christian women ping-pong back and forth from body positivity to body shame, unsure which is best for their bodies or most honoring to the Lord.
Instead of experiencing the freedom and confidence from being fully accepted in Christ, we wrestle with guilt, self-doubt, and shame as we change our bodies for the acceptance of others.
But what if I told you that there is a third option?
One where you CAN experience the inherent value of your body made in the image of God, while simultaneously approaching your fitness journey with gratitude and peace?
That's why in this episode of the HTS Podcast we'll dive deeper to discover:
- Why fat loss goals can feel “icky” to believers who want to love their body
- How to pursue fitness from a place of body acceptance and not for it
- 3 life-giving strategies to help you approach fat loss in a gospel centered way

Have you ever felt pressured to join in on a restrictive diet trend or fitness fad, but don’t know whether it would do more harm than good for your body?
So many hardworking, Christian women desire to fully believe and accept that they are “fearfully and wonderfully made,” but struggle to make the connection from their head to their heart.
Instead of feeling the freedom and confidence that comes from a Christ-centered body image, we doubt our worthiness and loveliness because of marketing lies.

Did you know that, according to a Gallup poll, women in America are more likely to experience burnout in their lifetime than men?
So many hardworking women push their bodies and minds to the limit trying to do everything for everyone, that they end up sabotaging themselves in the process.

But you do NOT have to live with perpetual burnout!
Which is why I’m SO excited to share this conversation I had with self-proclaimed burnout survivor and licensed therapist, Erica Cuni (@theburnoutprofessor).
