About this listen

 Hey Friend, You know that feeling when you are “doing all the things” and still not seeing the progress you hoped for? Tracking macros. Saving workouts on Pinterest. Maybe even finishing 75 Hard.Yet the scale, your energy, or your mood are not really changing. If you have ever thought, “What am I doing wrong?” or “Why am I stuck?”, I want you to hear this new conversation. I recently sat down with my best friends, Shaela Daugherty (The Stronger Collective) and Brittany Braswell (Faith Filled Food Freedom Podcast), for a completely unscripted, bestie-style conversation about what we call “the boring basics” in health and fitness. Nothing fancy. No shiny hacks. Just the simple, repeatable things that actually work, for your body and your walk with the Lord. Inside the episode, we talk about: Why hopping from one program to another keeps you stuck and exhausted How social media has trained us to crave quick results and constant novelty The truth about “muscle confusion,” diet trends, and quick fixes Why the most powerful habits often feel very ordinary How faith, discipline, and consistency all work together What it looks like to honor God with your health in a real, sustainable way We also get really honest about our own struggles with consistency. There is a part of the conversation where I share how tempting it was to ditch my simple strength plan and follow the “fun” workouts I saw other women doing at the gym. My body did not need another shiny plan. It needed the same lifts, again and again, so it could actually grow stronger. That is what this whole episode is about: Stop chasing motivation. Start mastering the mundane. For the Christian woman who is Googling things like“Why am I not losing weight even though I work out?”or asking ChatGPT“How do I stay motivated to be healthy as a busy mom?” This conversation is a grace filled reset. We talk about how doing the same simple thingslifting, walking, praying, eating balanced meals, going to bed on timecreates the rhythm where real physical and spiritual transformation happens. A few simple “boring basics” we encourage you to start with: Eat protein at every meal Drink a glass of water every time you eat Choose one small habit and stick with it for at least 12 weeks Ask for accountability instead of trying to do it alone Anchor your routines to time with the Lord, not just willpower You do not need a more complicated plan. You need a faithful one.God often does His deepest work in the quiet, ordinary choices that no one sees.
