Have you ever wondered why you feel exhausted at the end of the day with no energy to drag yourself to finish a workout?
If so, then have you considered that your gut health might be at the root of the issue?
So many active mamas hustle to make sure their families are fed 3 balanced meals a day, but make the mistake of leaving their own health in the dust!
Instead of experiencing greater energy, strength, and less digestive pain from a healthy and functional gut, busy moms fuel themselves with crumbs and as a result have a digestive system that is working against their strength goals.
Which is why, I’m so excited to share this eye opening conversation I had with registered dietitian, Christa Smith (@christasmithnutrition)!
In this episode of the HTS podcast, you’ll get the inside scoop on:

  • Why gut health is vital to boosting your strength, mental clarity and energy
  • The top 3 mistakes busy moms make that are hurting their gut & paralyzing their training performance
  • 4 simple, but highly effective steps to improve your gut health TODAY

If you’re ready to make the shift from calorie deprivation to energy abundance, for a stronger body and mind, then you will not want to miss this episode!

Have you ever wondered whether God is calling you to pursue parenthood?

If you’re a driven Christian woman then chances are when you think about the possibility of having children, you likely also feel emotions like fear, doubt and uncertainty.

This was especially true for me too, until I heard a word from the Lord that changed my perspective on having children entirely.

That’s why in this PART 1 episode of my pregnancy journey, I want to give you a behind the scenes look at:

  • How God drastically changed my mind and heart about pregnancy and parenthood
  • How we prepared for pregnancy in our physical, financial, and spiritual lives
  • 3 tips to overcome the fears and lies from the enemy in every aspect of your life

And to the woman who may be hurting with infertility or misscarriage, I want you to know that you are seen here and loved. God called your body “very good” from the beginning, and has a plan for your life, even though it can be hard and confusing at times. 🤍
