Many women hesitate to start their weight loss journey because they fear giving up their favorite foods. But the truth is, you don’t have to live in restriction to see results. In this episode, I’ll show you how to shift your mindset, find food freedom, and lose weight in a way that is sustainable and honors God.

🔹 Why Restrictive Diets Don’t Work – The dangers of an “I can’t have” mindset and why sustainable eating leads to long-term success. 🔹 The Mindset Shift to Freedom – How to move from restriction to abundance and embrace a Kingdom-minded approach to food. 🔹 Practical Strategies for Sustainable Weight Loss – Portion control, mindful eating, the 80/20 rule, and setting food boundaries.

"Food does not have control over me. I can honor God with my choices and still enjoy food in freedom."

"Instead of focusing on what I CAN'T have, I focus on what I GET to have—God’s best for my health."

✅ Restrictive diets create a cycle of bingeing, guilt, and frustration—they don’t work long-term. ✅ A mindset shift from scarcity to abundance helps break food strongholds and leads to true freedom. ✅ Practical strategies like portion control, mindful eating, and the 80/20 rule allow you to enjoy food without losing progress.

Have you ever felt like no matter how hard you try to get healthy, you keep falling back into the same patterns? Maybe you've watched your parents struggle with weight, and now you see those same habits showing up in your life—or even in your kids. But what if you could break free, once and for all? In this episode, I share my journey as a PA and health coach, the truth about generational obesity, and the steps you can take to rewrite your family's health story.

In This Episode -

• Breaking free from generational obesity

• How our health choices impact future generations

• The spiritual, scientific, and practical approach to lasting weight loss

“What you do in your home and what you make normal will be passed on more than anything you teach.” “Your decision to get well will influence your great-great-grandkids.”

In this episode, these were my key takeaways -

1. Your health struggles don’t have to be your children’s struggles—you can break the cycle.

2. Weight struggles aren’t just physical; they are deeply tied to spiritual and emotional strongholds.

3. Living a healthy life is about freedom, not restriction—real food, movement, and mindset shifts are the key.
