This episode is for the woman who loves God deeply, serves faithfully, and yet finds herself standing on the edge of burnout.

In this episode, we talk about: The difference between...

Shame around food is one of the enemy’s most strategic tools against women of God. Why? Because it attacks your body, your identity, and your kingdom authority all at once. In this episode, we uncover how food shame forms, how diet culture disguises itself as “discipline,” and how Jesus leads us into true food freedom not through perfection, but through deliverance and peace. Food freedom isn’t about eating perfectly. It’s about living unbound. “Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.” John 8:36 Reflection Question: When was the first time you...

Women in ministry are uniquely vulnerable to cortisol belly fat because of chronic stress, emotional labor, trauma exposure, disrupted sleep, and the constant pressure to pour out without rest. In Part 2 of this series, we move past awareness and talk about what actually helps—because cortisol belly is not a discipline problem or a lack of willpower. It’s a nervous system problem, and pushing harder often makes it worse. In this episode, we break down what the nervous system really is, why regulation is the foundation of hormone balance and belly fat loss, and how constant overdrive keeps...

Why Women in Ministry Are More Prone to Weight Gain In this episode, we talk about why weight gain especially belly fat is so common for women in ministry, and why it’s not a failure of discipline or faith, but a stress response of the body. We explore how chronic ministry stress keeps cortisol elevated and dysregulates the HPA axis, leading to increased fat storage, insulin resistance, slower metabolism, muscle loss, and persistent cravings. We also address the moral pressure around self-care in ministry and how beliefs like “rest is selfish” or “my body shouldn’t matter”...

In this episode, we dive into one of the most challenging aspects of weight loss: resisting immediate cravings in favor of your long-term goals. Losing weight requires saying no to instant gratification, but why is this so difficult? Why It's So Hard Many of the foods we're tempted by contain processed sugars and refined carbs that are deliberately designed to keep us coming back for more. These ingredients create addictive patterns in our brains, making it harder to stop snacking and easier to give in to cravings. Understanding this helps us recognize we're not just fighting willpower...

This Thanksgiving, I experienced something that many of you might relate to. I was intentional about my health. I walked a lot, avoided snacking, and set a goal to lose just half a pound that week. But when I stepped on the scale after the holiday, I had gained 4 pounds. I felt upset. I felt mad. But instead of giving up, I continued with my week as planned. I ate at home, focused on my nutrition, and within just four days, I had not only lost those 4 pounds, I lost the additional half pound I was originally going after. My Lessons: Nutrition is more important than I realized I had...

In this episode, I'm breaking down my Kingdom Wellness Protocol: the two core principles that transformed my health and helped me lose 100 pounds. We're talking about God-made foods versus man-made factory foods, and how to naturally balance the three fat-storing hormones keeping you stuck.
In This Episode, You'll Discover:
- Why I don't believe in "my way is the only way" when it comes to weight loss
- The two foundational principles of the Kingdom Wellness Protocol
- The 3 fat storing hormones you need to manage: insulin, estrogen, and cortisol
- Why I personally advocate for healthy keto/low carb living (and the difference between the two)
- How keto naturally eliminates "food noise" just like GLP1 medications (Ozempic, Wegovy)
- The truth about insulin resistance and why constant blood sugar spikes keep you stuck
- How excess estrogen creates a vicious cycle that makes fat loss harder
- Why cortisol (the stress hormone) tells your body to hold onto belly fat
