Faith Fitness Joy - Mind, Body, and Soul Health and Healing

There are so many factors to consider when it comes to weight loss, and sleep may be one of those that we tend to overlook or fail to consider at all. Not too long ago I paid no mind to the amount of sleep I was actually getting and I was oblivious to how it can affect weight loss. I have since learned that failing to get enough sleep and not having good sleep habits can counter your weight loss e...

Today I am discussing what you may start experiencing as you are in a phase of spiritual growth or awakening. Having recently gone through this myself, I experienced several things that you may not expect or understand if you have not yet experienced a spiritual awakening or season of rapid and deep spiritual growth. Some of the things to expect if you are embarking on a spiritual growth journey o...

We all know that exercise is good for us and an important component of our overall health. Though, many of us may not know what makes a good or well-rounded exercise routine. Worse, many have fallen into the trap of the many myths about exercise and aren’t getting the results they are seeking as a result. Today I am sharing the four essential components of an exercise routine. A comprehensive, eff...

Today I am discussing the power of meditation. What started as a practice of five minutes each morning has grown into more than I could have ever imagined. It has completely changed my relationship with and understanding of God as well as my life. In just one year of doing this daily, I have found so many incredible benefits of meditation. These are: 1. Reduced stress. 2. Eliminates anxiety. 3. Im...

Among the many reasons I hate the concept of “dieting” is the connotation of deprivation. I don’t know about you, but I hear that word and I think of a giant list of what you cannot eat. People talk about mentally preparing themselves for going on a diet. Believe it or not, you can eat healthy and enjoy what you eat. This includes what we may think of as “treats” or foods that tend to be off limit...

This is a bit of a celebratory episode as it is my 30th episode of this podcast, which I am so excited about! I have done a bit of a re-launch of my podcast to celebrate this milestone. I wanted to pick a special topic for today, which is also my Wonderful Wednesday episode, and as you know these are always focused on spiritual health and growth. So, I thought what better topic than Faith for this...

So perhaps you’ve recently embarked on a weight loss journey and starting to find staying on track with your nutrition approach challenging. Or maybe it’s been some time and you’ve been finding yourself in the all or nothing trap, where you have one of those days you didn’t have the right foods on hand and ended up eating something off plan, which then led to going off plan the rest of the day, wh...

Today is all about signs from heaven. Have you ever had a dream that stuck with you all day? Maybe it was a certain object or the colors that really stood out and you just can’t shake it. Maybe it was something you heard or you saw words written on a piece of paper. You wake up just knowing there was more to it; it wasn’t just a dream. Or, what about those times when you’ve been praying about some...

We all know that we should all be drinking primarily water, yet, most of us probably don’t drink enough and many don’t drink any water at all. So, how they heck are you supposed to hit a half a gallon a day, let alone a whole gallon a day when you hate drinking water? As someone who used to absolutely hate drinking water, I get it. But I can also tell you it is possible to go from hating drinking...

If this is something you also find yourself working through or if...

Until recently I was oblivious to the connection between unhealed past traumas and hurts and health.

Well, there are some big myths and misconceptions about calories and calorie counting behind this and I am going to share those with you in today’s episode. So...

You may have heard and maybe even follow some of the advice and guidance out there around manifestation. Many of us may remember the book and movie called the Secret, which taught us all we need to do is ask, believe, and receive. While this is true, there is more to it and much of our ability to receive what we desire comes down to our ability to do so. This is where energy blocks come in. If you...

In this episode, I am sharing 5 ways to keep yourself going when motivation wanes. It happens to all of us.

Today I am going to give you some practical things you can do to reconnect to your inner self. If you are like I was, you may sometimes feel disconnected from yourself, perhaps you’ve lost your sense of self in all the business of being a mom, wife/spouse/partner, work, and all the other things you have going on.  I’ve spent years reconnecting with myself and today I am sharing with you some...
