What do you get when you combine culinary nutrition, eating psychology and intuitive eating? You get today’s episode. And I know you’re going to love it.
I also know you’re going to gain so much from it because, according to the survey I invite all new subscribers to take, over 50% of you struggle with meal planning and prepping.

We discuss:
- Guidance for the fear of “if I eat the foods I don't think I’m supposed to eat I’ll eat too much”

The Graced Health Podcast Statement of Values
Graced Health for Christian Women Over 40
10/26/21 • 33 min
After a 176 episodes of the Graced Health podcast, I thought it might be worth formally identifying the values of this podcast and sharing them with you.
These values are something I’ve discovered as I’ve stumbled through this podcasting experience rather than identified from the beginning. But once I wrote them down, I realized I go back to them when making decisions about content or opportunities beyond that.
I invite you to learn more and listen in. When you're done, if these sound appealing to you, you’re in the right spot. And if you’re kicking the tires on some of these, you’re still in the right spot. All are welcome at this table.

Graced Health for Christian Women Over 40
01/24/23 • 31 min
There are six functional movements in fitness, but one in particular is extra important for women over 40: pulls.
In today's solo episode, I'm sharing three benefits of doing a pulling motion:
- Spinal health
- Posture
- Core Stabilizers
I also share three simple ways of integrating pulls - at your desk!
And what my non-researched backed recommendation is on how often to do pulling motion.

These are the resistance loops I recommend for the movements I offer.

Applying smart self care in trying times with Elizabeth Barbour
Graced Health for Christian Women Over 40
04/07/20 • 59 min
I don't know about you, but I'm having a hard time wrangling my emotions, thoughts, and feelings about all things COVID-19. With that comes the tendency to dismiss some feelings, while deeply sensing others. My spinning head can't land in one place, and I certainly am not focused enough for self care, let alone smart self care.
Enter Elizabeth Barbour. Elizabeth is a passionate advocate for smart, sustainable self-care—especially for women who are juggling the demands of career, family, and life.
She brought such a calming presence to the multitude of my emotions and gave me simple, easy, actionable ways to practice smart self care. She even challenged me to tackle one of the areas she recommended in which I feel the most vulnerable!
In today's episode we discuss:
- How to set goals to feel successful
- The SOS self-assessment of self care
- The importance of ritual and ceremony when we don't know what to do with our feelings
- Tools to stay in the present moment
- Elements of smart self care
- 5 minute strategies for self care

Practical Tips for Increasing Protein in Your Diet {Protein Part 4️⃣}
Graced Health for Christian Women Over 40
09/19/24 • 33 min
I couldn't do an entire series on protein without sharing some of the practical ways I ensure I have enough protein in my diet. These prevent me from blankly staring at the refrigerator wondering "what can I eat?"
In this final episode of my four-part series on protein, I cover:
- A variety of protein-rich breakfast ideas, from yogurt parfaits to protein pancakes
- High-protein snack options for on-the-go nutrition
- Lunch and dinner suggestions, including batch-cooking ideas for easy meal prep
- Tips for adding high-protein sides to your meals
- Plant-based protein options for those following a vegetarian or vegan diet
- The importance of tailoring these suggestions to your individual needs and preferences
Did you get the Protein Playbook?
This is the episode it was originally intended for. I just shared it early because I know I get impatient and thought you may as well.

Transcending Trauma Through Understanding and Self-Compassion
Graced Health for Christian Women Over 40
03/05/24 • 33 min
One of the words I know I’ve heard a lot more about in the last several years is trauma. This can come across in many, many ways, but we can’t ignore its impact not only on our mental health but also our body. Author Danielle Bernock is here today to share her experience with the side effects of trauma and understand how unresolved trauma may show up in our bodies.
We discuss:
- The connection between trauma and health
- How to become stronger to be less apt to trauma
- Danielle’s story of having an eating disorder and how that was related to her trauma
- Why she calls herself “that lady on the internet who loves you”

Danielle Bernock is a multiple childhood trauma survivor who turned her pain into purpose as an international, award-winning author, dynamic speaker, host of Victorious Souls Podcast, trauma-informed faith-based self-love coach, and founder of 4F Media. She came to Jesus as a child, but trauma made a mess of it. Steeped in pain, and without support, her life spiraled out of control. But God understood her pain, pursued her with His love, bringing her back to Himself, and healing her heart. He has commissioned her to share the love she's come to know, and empower others to embrace their God-given greatness.

Why the fortune of brokenness can enhance your relationship with God
Graced Health for Christian Women Over 40
05/09/23 • 37 min
In my conversation with Reverend Matthew Hogan today, we explore some themes about Christianity that exist, but aren’t the things Instagram posts are made of. These are hard and heavy topics, but important ones as we fully explore the faithfulness and love of God, especially outside of our American perspective.
Reverend Matthew Hogan has over 30 years of experience in ministry and counseling, having worked as a pastor, interim pastor, and counselor. He is a Certified Temperament Pastoral Counselor, Licensed Pastoral Counselor, and is a member of the National Christian Counselors Association. Currently, he runs Grace for Individual and Family Therapy (GIFT) through which he provides faith-based therapy for individual clients, couples, and groups of any faith background online.
We discuss:
- The Christian "elephant in the room" and what it is
- The fortune of brokenness Matthew and his wife experienced in early adulthood and how that impacted his relationship with God
- God’s faithfulness and presence even as we weave in and out of our focus on him
- Encouragement for the person who things “I’ve been away so long I don’t think God would want me to come back”
- Authentically rejoicing even when we don't feel like it
