WELL Without Worry: faith over fear
Physical and spiritual wellness can be challenging, especially with all the world’s mixed messages and seemingly impossible standards about how we should look, eat, move, and even be a ”good” Christian. All the pressure can lead to either obsession or neglect. But there’s a better way and it starts with GRACE. I’ve learned a lot of lessons the hard way over the years as a fitness instructor, Intuitive Eating counselor, Christian, Mama, and woman. This podcast is designed to help you avoid the perfection trap and instead live well and free in the abundance that God desires for you! Together, let’s: ---＞ break through common wellness strongholds ---＞ identify fears, distractions, and lies keeping you from living your best life ---＞ soak in God’s truth and grace and grow in abundance Studies, notes, printables and more: https://www.well-way.net/podcast/ For questions or to connect: Instagram @thewellway_amanda.

Life can throw a lot at you. Maybe you're dealing with a frustrating health issue or a broken relationship? Or are you exhausted and overwhelmed? Let's chat about how to KEEP FAITH during hard times! I'll dive in first about a rocky time in my life when I was in college. I tried to control everything and hold it all together, largely in the form of obsessive nutrition and exercise, but when my health started struggling and my engagement to my fiance was called off, I had to get back to faith 101.
Are you in a rocky time? If not, what was your rockiest time and how did you stay faithful and hopeful?

Listen in to a chat between old friends about their food and body journeys throughout their teen years to now as adults.
Some of my childhood friends join me to chat about body image issues we dealt with in high school, body issues we still face and how we handle them, and even how we navigate food and body issues with our children. Kirsti shares about the pressures she faced growing up with a strict gymnastics background. Sara, her twin sister, also has an interesting perspective since she witnessed so much of this pressure. Emily shares how her body struggles didn't hit until she gained weight in college. All three discuss how boys, their families, coaches, and even churches influenced the way they viewed themselves and their bodies. It's such a good one!

Body image and dieting struggles affect us all! Solutions offered by the world can lead to frustration, confusion, and even a hardened heart.
KEY QUESTION: Surrounding your body beliefs, is your heart closed off and hardened? heavy with pain?
Let's chat about how to grow past common food and body strongholds.
In a garden, preparing soil is necessary so that goodness can grow. Similarly, in the parable of the soils in Luke 8, Jesus shares why our "heart soil" is important for growth. Let's apply this teaching to food and body struggles so that we can have open hearts, ready to receive His goodness.
You are GOOD TO GROW.
ABOUT ME
Before we get too deep, let me introduce myself. I'm Amanda! A wife, mom to 2 girls, Christian, and an enneagram 9, 6, or 3 (HELP ME!). I love to learn, create, teach, and DIY just about anything (even when it's not sensical).
I've always had a passion for wellness and movement, but at times it was all-consuming and life-sucking. Now, I have finally found joy AND FREEDOM in my wellness pursuit. It's still a daily battle, but I've got a good Father fighting for and with me... and so do you.
I'm certified through Revelation Wellness to teach fitness classes and lead wellness groups. I have several workouts you can try on my YouTube channel.
If you're looking for a group of coaches to support you, check out the Joyful Health Co! //www.joyfulhealth.co/ I partner with two Registered Dieticians and a Personal Trainer to help women find freedom.
I'm also a big, no, HUGE, fan of Intuitive Eating and in the process of obtaining my counselor license. I know what it's like to be trapped in food obsession. And now that I know what it's like to be free, I want that for you too!
