If you've ever wondered how all of those people I've interviewed in the past are doing now, you'll enjoy today's episode of the Taste for Truth Podcast! I'm having a second "check-in" interview with Sarah whom I previously interviewed over four years ago. Back in 2020, Sarah was a new mom and was experiencing great success with changing her eating and lifestyle habits. Today our discussion centers around how pivotal exercise has been for Sarah in her journey, and about her struggles and victories while navigating many life changes.

  • How Sarah is doing four years after her first victory interview
  • How finding exercise that matched her temperament has helped Sarah achieve her goals
  • Viewing exercise as spiritual warfare - using your body to fight a spiritual battle
  • New research that highlights the importance of exercise for mental health
  • The importance of asking for help
  • Why we can have hope even when we have yo-yo dieted and feel that we have tried everything
  • What being poor in spirit really means, and how it's a good thing
  • The story of "20-steps back" and how it relates to success with healthy habits

Announcements

I also wanted to mention that I will be tapering off and ultimately ending the Taste for Truth podcast sometime in the next 5-7 months. I will still be doing my Christian Habits Podcast, and all of the past Taste for Truth episodes will still be available! I'm just at a place in my life where I need to find a work-life balance that is sustainable, and going down to one podcast seems like a very helpful way to do that.

I am also planning to give online course creation a try. If you are interested in staying informed about that, click here.
