Hey friend, please don’t skip this episode if you haven’t read a book since Jr. High, I promise it will be worth the listen! Reading books is such a great way to learn from those that have gone before you and have wisdom in the areas you are intentional about pursuing. I believe that there are a few simple & practical things that you can do while you are reading to ensure that you can live out...

Have you ever said the phrase “I just want to hear God’s voice”?! I am sure we all have or wondered what it would be like. I have news for you, friend. He IS speaking, I think the better question is “are we listening?!” When our days are flying by and can sometimes be chaotic, the enemy would love nothing more than to make us think that God is not there or he doesn’t care about us. Today we are go...

In honor of October being Breast Cancer Awareness Month I wanted you to hear from Carrie Pasch, her story is nothing short of a miracle. Her love for God and unwavering trust in Him is so inspiring. Shs is a breast cancer survivor and the author of the book “Thank You Cancer”. This bold statement intrigues you from the very moment you open the book to keep reading and learn all about her journey. ...

Today I was in my personal devotional time, journaling and getting ready for the day when I felt God impress upon me to share what I had just read. Our thought life is so important as we are on our Journey to Becoming all that God has created us to be. Sometimes we can allow our thoughts to take us back to places or keep us stuck in past versions of ourselves.   Romans 12:2 is a popular scripture...

How in the hee haw are we here already?! The last quarter of the year is upon us. Cue all the holiday stress, obligations, parties, hosting, running around etc…. But what if this year was different? What if you chose to have a different perspective on what finishing strong meant?!     When we can be intentional in choosing how we show up in the last three months of the year I believe that we can a...

The days are long but the years are short. Time flies when you are raising children, like so fast, right?! I know that as a mama you want to soak up every moment that you can and maybe even the thought of being intentional can overwhelm you. I want you to release any negative feelings that you may be carrying and realize the amazing job you are doing!    We are talking about different ways to embr...

We are back for Part 2 of the Motherhood Series and talking about all things CONFIDENCE. Where does it ultimately come from and how can we continue to develop it as our Motherhood progresses. So many of us don’t even like to admit this is an area we need help with and in choosing that we will remain in feelings of frustration, exhaustion and isolation.    I read a quote that says “I will not waste...

Motherhood- the craziest hood out there!  This episode is the beginning of a mini-series on Motherhood and I wanted to start off with how important it is to stay committed to your healing. Jesus may be in your heart, but Grandpa is still in your bones meaning that past trauma- if not dealt with will continue to transfer through your lineage, if you aren’t willing to do something about it.    If yo...

Today I wanted to share a little more of my story with you and the significance of this new month we are stepping into. Hello, September- it has been one of high-highs and low-lows from my birthday & wedding anniversary and also the tragic loss of my brother. Who you surround yourself with in life matters, especially when you are on your healing journey.    No matter what type of loss or trial...

Hey friend! Did you know that you can do hard things?! Today we are looking at the science behind leveraging dopamine to help us take on these challenging things. Dopamine is basically our brain's reward system and we are going to learn the difference between the fake and the natural examples.    After this episode I am confident that you will have a better understanding of how your daily activiti...

What would your life look like if you weren’t scared?! I am sure we can all come up with huge lists of the things that we would hope to accomplish. But what if you changed your perspective of the role that fear could play in your life?! What if you decided to face those fears and even bring them along with you?!    Today we are talking about how to no longer let your fears keep you stuck in life....

Today you are getting a sneak peak inside the Joyful Fit Life Community as we had our first ever guest speaker sharing about all things Women’s Hormonal Health. We focus on a different topic each month in the community and for July it was Wellness. With so much information and misinformation when it comes to women’s health I wanted to bring in the expert to set us all straight.    Whether you have...

Hey friend, today you are in for a treat as we get to hear from my friend Kelly Thompson who is a wife, a mom, an author, speaker and the Founder of the Package Your Genius Virtual Summit.  She is the host of the wildly popular podcast, the Genius in You, that features mid-life women who use their genius to make an impact and an income.   We are discussing all about how to take “micro- actions” in...

Listen friend, we have all said those infamous words “I’m just so busy”, “ I have no time” or “ I need to have better time management”...but have we really done anything about it?! Saying this with love and speaking from experience because this was something I had to take responsibility for as well.   The reality is that managing our time will be something that we will be constantly doing because...

We are back for the last part talking about all things consistency. How do you maintain consistency in your life…you have to be willing to look forward and accurately assess what is working for you and where you will need to make adjustments.    The beauty of living a lifestyle of consistency is that your life will be an example to those that you love and lead. We know that consistency doesn’t hav...

We are back again with part 2 of our consistency mini series! Today we are defining all that consistency is and what it is NOT! If we are not careful we will believe that we have to be doing the most, at all times to see consistency produced in our lives.    Take a deep breath and give yourself grace to start small and embrace the power of the show up, not striving for perfection. There will be no...

Hey friend! We say we need more of it in our lives [consistency], but are we willing to ask ourselves WHAT that actually means!? In part 1 of this “mini” series I am challenging you to look at your life and the things you desire, and then begin to ask yourself where you are making time for them to show up.    It can be super easy to look at the lives of others and say “I want that’, “I’m going to...

Today I am sharing a question that was asked on the inside of The Joyful Fit Life Community on one of our message boards. The question was asked ‘How do you stay on the same page as your spouse”... this was in regards to communication and I thought it would be great to share here as well.    Communication is something that we all do, AND open, honest, healthy communication is something that takes...

In today’s episode we take a look at the differences between reflection and rumination and the role they play in our thought life. What we focus on grows and if we are women who are on their journey to becoming all that God has created them to be, we need the necessary tools that will contribute to our growth, not hinder it.    Thoughts that begin from reflection can often lead to rumination witho...

How in the world are we almost halfway done with 2024? Time flies when you are on your Journey to Becoming! At the beginning of the year we often set big goals & dreams for the new year ahead and about 3 months in, the momentum begins to die down.    We continue to believe that in order to achieve massive results, we need massive action (which isn’t true). The negative thoughts then begin to k...

Summertime is upon us and we know all too well that “losing weight” can quickly become a part of everyone’s goals. In this episode, we aren’t addressing physical weight loss tips, but taking a deeper dive in how to release and lose the mental weight.    The weight of other people’s opinions, fear of failure and self-sabotage has quickly become a weight that we have learned to carry year after year...

You, distracted?! No way…  Have you ever been called out because you were not fully present and quickly got defensive about it?! Ok good, I knew I wasn’t the only one!   Distractions are robbing us of our time yet we are oblivious to it because it has become a societal norm. Our days are constantly bombarded with interruptions, alerts & notifications. It is no wonder why we feel the absolute n...

In this episode we are getting honest again, because hello, that’s what we do here…coming off an entire month dedicated to our mental health, it can be easy to believe the lie that we are a little behind in life. That my friend, is the furthest thing from the truth.    Today I get to share with you 3 Tips to help remind you that you are exactly where you need to be. From comparison, to trusting an...

We are wrapping up Mental Health awareness month and ending on a high note. Today we have the woman behind the always encouraging IG account for Christian Women Entrepreneurs @ceoforwomen, Taneshia with us and she drops all the GOLD!    When thinking of the word contribution it can be easy to shrink back into negative narratives, imposter syndrome and comparison. Taneshia shares from her own life...
