We all know that group bible studies and book clubs are a great way to connect with other women. They help us grow both from sharing and receiving insight from others. And, they challenge us to spend focused, dedicated time reading and studying God’s Word.
The obstacle though that keeps many of us from joining book or bible studies is simply the challenge of navigating busy schedules, childcare, full-time jobs, and all the many ways life pulls us in a million directions. That’s why an online...
When we set out to accomplish a goal, we often make one of two errors. We either try to do everything on our own, relying on our own wisdom, strength, and ability. Or, we pray and ask God to help us, but we fail to do our part. I have found that it is only when we actively engage in a partnership with God that the impossible suddenly becomes possible. After all, He never intended us to do anything on our own, so it would be foolish to imagine that we can accomplish anything apart from Him.

In my book Nourish, I share my story on how I overcome years of disordered eating. In my journey to health, there were countless things that I had to let go of along the way. There were years of hurt, unforgiveness, burdens, and bondages that needed to be uprooted and surrendered to the Lord. As I opened my hands and heart to God, His Word and the Holy Spirit filled in the holes that had been left by the deep and destructive weeds that once had me bound.
For so much of my life I was scared of...
In my new book Nourish, I talk about how making small simple changes over time results in a lifestyle change that will last. One of the first steps that I recommend is cleaning out your pantry, and restocking it with foods that nourish our bodies. Here are three tips to get you started today!
1. Clean out and organize your pantry, fridge, and freezer.
In my new book Nourish, I talk about how important it is to "Find Your Why". Your why is the very thing that is motivating you to get and/or stay healthy! It may be your children, desiring to live a long healthy life, or it may be something specific such as having the energy and stamina to start a new business! Whatever it is, find your "Why" and write it down or take a picture of it. Keep it somewhere you can see it, so you have that motivating factor set before your eyes when you need it...
In my book Nourish I talk about how mindful eating changed my entire approach to food. Instead of feeling like "I can't" have something I desire, I have learned to focus on how food makes me feel, which has changed my desires. Sure, I still "wan't" chocolate, but now I desire to eat a chocolate dessert that is a healthier alternative that will nourish my body, and my tastebuds! If you desire to change your mindset and approach to food, I highly recommend you pick up a copy of my book! In...
In my new book Nourish I talk about how important it is to establish a healthy routine to keep you on track during a busy week. Setting aside a little planning time is all it takes! This is true especially when it comes to meal planing. Here are a few ways you can start to meal plan today!
1. Map out your week. Sit down and think about what your week will look like. (ie: Are you going to be home late a few days during the week, or taking your kids to a sports event?) Plan your meals...
What if I told you that food can be both nourishing and enjoyable!?! That's right...It doesn't have to be bland, boring, or restrictive in order for it to be good for us.
In fact, I believe God created food for our enjoyment! If we took a look around our groceries produce section for example, we could clearly see that God created food to be satisfying to our senses. Have you ever stopped and noticed all of the colors, smells, tastes, and visually beautiful food He created for us to nourish our...
Whether you have been overweight most of your life, you have yo-yo’ed between thin, average, and obese, or you have always felt that your body is flawed in some way, God wants to bring you to a place of freedom in the area of your physical weight!
