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...

This episode is for the woman who loves God deeply, serves faithfully, and yet finds herself standing on the edge of burnout.
In Episode 19, we dive into the powerful wisdom found in Exodus 18:13–18, where Moses’ father-in-law, Jethro, lovingly confronts him with a hard truth:
“The work is too heavy for you; you cannot handle it alone.”
Sis, this is not a rebuke—it’s an invitation to order, wisdom, and rest.
In this episode, we talk about:
-
The difference between burnout and Biblical order
-
Why doing everything yourself is not a badge of honor
-
How overcommitting in ministry can slowly drain your joy, health, and relationships
-
Why saying no in certain seasons is an act of wisdom, not disobedience
-
The truth about balance vs. order in your life and calling
-
How to honor God by honoring your body, energy, and season
I also share a very personal story from my own life navigating full-time work, motherhood, marriage, ministry commitments, building the brand God placed on my heart, and stewarding my health all while learning when to advocate for myself and say no without guilt.
This episode will help you recognize that sometimes it’s not a heart issue…
👉🏽 it’s a body issue.
And ignoring that doesn’t make you spiritual, it makes you depleted.
We also unpack:
-
Why rhythms of rest and routines are essential in ministry
-
How misplaced priorities can quietly affect your relationship with God, your spouse, and your children
-
Practical ways to care for your health even in a busy season
-
Why this season of overwhelm is not permanent
-
How the enemy uses busyness to steal peace, clarity, and joy
We close with encouragement from Matthew 11:28–30, reminding you that Jesus never intended for His work to crush you—His yoke is easy, and His burden is light.
Key Takeaway:
This is not about doing less for God it’s about doing what He’s called you to do in the right order, with the right support, and with a healthy mind, body, and spirit.
You are called.
You are faithful.
And you were never meant to do this alone. 💛
If this episode brought up stress, exhaustion, or the realization that things feel out of order, I’d love to support you in a mind, body, and spirit recalibration without pressure or overwhelm.
