About this listen

Do you want to feel like yourself again, but have no idea where to start? Is making time to prioritize yourself a struggle? Are you tired of feeling like exercise is just another to-do on your list? Want to feel strong and confident in the body God gave you?

I’m so glad you’re here! This podcast will help you create simple, consistent habits that lighten the mental load of figuring out what will actually make a difference when it comes to your health—all so you can feel better, have more energy, and become the role model your kids truly need.

Hey! I’m Michelle. A toddler mom, wife and dedicated Jesus follower. For 15 years I struggled to find and stick to health routines that were truly effective and had a positive impact on my life.

Despite being a leader in the fitness industry, I often approached health with an unsustainable mindset. I was either starving myself or mindlessly overeating; going to the gym for hours at a time or going days without walking further than the fridge. The result was staying in a body that was weighing me down and preventing me from becoming all God had created me to be.

I finally realized that if I wanted to feel my best, show up fully for my family and live the life God has called me to, I would need to move beyond extremes and towards stewardship. I needed to build sustainable habits that would help me care for the body God gave me.

With years of nutrition and fitness knowledge under my belt, I was able to create a plan that helps me prioritize healthy habits in the midst of a busy schedule. This approach gives me the confidence that I am stewarding my body well, so that I have the energy to be the mother God has created me to be. This is what I want to share with you today!

If you are ready to make sustainable changes to your health habits that fit in with busy seasons of motherhood…

To approach wellness as an act of worship-

To feel more energized, enjoy exercise again, and step into the healthiest version of yourself, this podcast is for you!

Get ready to move your body and renew your mind—it’s time to glorify God with your health!

    Do you ever find yourself thinking something negative about your body, only to fall into a shame spiral that leaves you feeling drained and exhausted? Ever wonder how those thoughts manifest in your habits?

    In today's episode, I am going to share the ROOT of those negative body thoughts, how they lead to destructive habits, and what God wants you to meditate on instead, with encouragement from the Christmas story.

    I pray this episode helps aid in the renewal of your mind around the way you think about your body and that you would feel empowered to take every thought captive so that you can live the abundant, outward-focused life God has called you to.

    Merry Christmas, mama <3

    004 | 3 Meal Prep Ideas To Beat Holiday Sugar Cravings As A SAHM
    Dec 16 2025

    It's the holidays...the season of all those specialty treats... so delicious, so nostalgic... but also leaving you feeling bloated and *possibly* out of control. If you can't stop going back to the dessert table again and again, this episode is for you.

    You'll learn 3 practical ways to structure your meals, so that you feel your best and have the ability to stay present with your family and friends during the Christmas season.

    Applying these techniques has allowed me to enjoy specialty treats with more intentionality and awareness, so that I don't get lost in mindless overeating and subsequent sugar crashes. This discipline not only brings health to my body, but sharpness to my spiritual ears, and a greater ability to give God my "yes!".

    I pray this blesses you today!

    003 | The #1 Reason Your Workout Routine Isn't Sticking As A SAHM (& How To Fix It!)
    Dec 9 2025

    Have you ever gotten excited about starting a new workout routine, only to fall off the wagon only a couple days in? Are you tired of feeling like you are always starting over?

    In today’s episode, I am going to share with you why you can’t stick to your routine and what to do instead. You are going to hear that LESS is MORE when it comes to busy seasons of motherhood, and how to choose routines that work with the season you are in.

    Learn to take the pressure off, have grace for yourself, and get MOM strong with consistent, achievable habits that prioritize QUALITY over QUANTITY.

    This is the exact approach I have used to get into the best shape of my life, in one of the busiest seasons of my life, and I can’t wait to share it with you!

    Reflection Questions From the Episode:

    • What season am I actually in- not the one I wish I was in?
    • Where have I been putting pressure on myself that God never asked me to?
    • What’s one small, realistic habit I can steward this week?
    • How would motherhood feel, if movement became worship, not pressure?

    I pray this blesses you today!
