Living Faithfully Fit with Tracy Balderach

Have you ever looked around at your life and thought, "I have so much to be thankful for...so why do I feel so stuck?" If you've been feeling unmotivated, overwhelmed, or like you've somehow lost your spark, this episode is for you. In this episode, I'm sharing one of the hardest seasons I've walked through, even though everything looked “fine” from the outside. We'll...

If you had asked me in January whether I'd be down more than 20 pounds by the end of June, I would have laughed. Because at that point… I felt completely stuck. I was doing all the “right” things. Or at least I thought I was. And yet, nothing was changing. In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what finally shifted—and why it wasn’t what I expected. There was one simple change that m...

When the Breakthrough Shows Up Wearing Skin What if the breakthrough you've been praying for doesn't arrive the way you expected? What if God answers your prayer through a person? In this episode, I'm sharing why God continually points His people toward community, why isolation can be so dangerous in difficult seasons, and how some of His greatest blessings often arrive through the peo...

There are seasons in life that are obviously hard. And then there are seasons that look good on paper but still leave you feeling stuck, exhausted, anxious, or disconnected from the person you know God created you to be.

Welcome back to The Living Faithfully Fit Podcast. This week, I’m talking about something I think almost every mom says on repeat, especially this time of year. “I’m just too busy.” As I was thinking about that phrase a few years ago, I started asking myself a different question and I want to share that perspective with you. “What am I actually saying no to?” Because many times the thing we are sa...

How many things have we repeated over ourselves for so long that they now feel true? “I’ll never lose the weight.” “I’m always going to feel exhausted.” “I’m too old.” “I’m not qualified.” “I missed my chance.” In today’s episode, I’m talking about the narratives we quietly agree with over time and how easily hopelessness can start shaping the way we see ourselves, our health, our purpose, and eve...

It is about a question we cannot ignore...

Welcome to the Living Faithfully Fit Podcast. I’m so glad you’re here. This episode starts with parenting… but it doesn’t stay there.

Welcome to the Living Faithfully Fit Podcast with Tracy Balderach. Is there someone in your life you have quietly decided is too far gone for God? Maybe one of your children. Maybe your husband.

Where God has been nudging you toward something and you have gone the other direction?...

Welcome to the Living Faithfully Fit Podcast with me, Tracy Balderach. This week’s episode is a special one because it’s Episode 100.

Welcome to The Living Faithfully Fit Podcast with Tracy Balderach. After studying the life of Solomon, I found myself asking a question I couldn’t ignore… How does someone who loves God… slowly drift? This episode isn’t about one big decision.
