Laced with Grace, Fully Embraced

Today Tori and I have an in depth convo about our hormones as women, how they play a role in our fitness journey but also how they may effect our results outwardly especially if we don't know what is truly going on inwardly. Tori helps us navigate the menstrual cycle, how to work out during different phases of our cycle and educates us throughout the episode while also inspiring & giving some hard truths as well. Below is where you can find Tori and her personal private practice for more help in this area! Tori's private practice facebook: CLICK HERETori's personal tiktok account: CLICK HERE

Supplements link: https://1stphorm.com/lacedwithgraceTreadmill link with discount code: KELSEY007NEW TREADMILL LINK HEREThe enemy is sneaky, we know this, so of course he's going to find any way he can to keep you in a state of confusion, self-criticism, blame, shame, and the negative spiral we all tend to fall for here and there, especially when it comes to failure in our fitness journey. Today i'm going to reveal to you WHY he does this and then how we can navigate it!

sorry for the audio yall, my phone was connected to my car and I didn't realize it! So if the sound is wonky this is why, but I didn't wanna re record due to being passionate about this message in the moment so I felt like it would still touch someone and someone needed it now and not aesthetically "pleasing" to the ears. we have to stop being so distracted, busy, and chasing an image that isn't what specifically God wants us to become. We are so distracted with the "CHASE" of achieving the body and the image we desire that we aren't focusing on the image He's already provided to you!

today we take a deeper look into why and how our exercise and fitness lifestyle can be a weapon, tool, resource, and catalyst to battle against the enemy and his disgusting schemes to take us down. 

have you ever heard of having a "prayer closet"?? A special place where you can spend time in prayer but also just spend time with your creator? today I'm going to help you identify your own special prayer closet! It'll be so beneficial for you and your fitness walk as well! I also have linked some Holy Spirit driven beats and music for you to enjoy in your workouts as well! GRACE LIT WORKOUT PLAYLIST

There are so many other things we could be using as a reward for caring for our bodies but for whatever reason we use food... but why? honestly I feel like this has been the go to ever since I was little. Not my parents fault but more like just culture and society. Well today we are gonna rid of this mindset and I'm gonna help you do so :) & explain the damages we may be doing when we always reward ourselves with food. 

I hope todays episode brings some new mindsets around tracking our food and what a blessing/tool this can be for our lives & how it can better help us nourish the temple the Lord has given to us! Below I share two items that help me with my tracking personally!1. The grace lit life planner! track nutrition, fitness, water, scripture, daily & monthly planning/schedules & more  snag it here!! 2. My fitness pal app!

calling all my people pleasing or recovering people pleasers to this episode! or maybe you didn't even realize it but you listen today and you're like welllll shoot I am people pleasing in my fitness journey! Today we will unpack the dangers and negativity that come from people pleasing not only in your fitness journey but in your obedience to Christ in your journey that He has set before you. 

culture likes to throw around this idea of "work life balance" "mom life balance" "mom-life fitness journey balance" etc. etc. but the reality is there is not "perfect" balance when it comes to this life, we excel in certain areas, and then others sometimes lack, or vice versa, we are flawed human beings who CANT possibly do it all!! I hope this episode gives you hope and encourages you that GOD is the only solution here and relying on Him is what gets us through! you got this sis!Below I have attached a discount link and code for my current treadmill & my workout playlist: MY TREADMILL & USE CODE KELSEYCOMBS200 to get $50 off!My workout playlist that has a BEAT & lead by the Spirit!

you can insert whatever current struggle or temptation you may have with a certain food here & I'm sure it'll help in some way to take these tips and apply them. The enemy is soooo good at making us think we are in bondage to binging, restriction, cravings, temptation and that there is no way out, BUT GOD! He always provides a way out or a way to endure it! Hope this helps and blesses you today in your journey!

we get a little spicy in today's episode ya'll sorry not sorry! haha. I'm also just being real in the fact that I too needed this message today and I'm gut checking myself just as much as I am you! okay? So this isn't just me attacking YOU! I hope this lights some fire under your toosh and motivates you to display some ACTION and implement some work instead of just SAYING with empty words what you know you need to do. LOVE IS A VERBBBBB!! :) that'll make more sense once you listen in!! Enjoy!

struggle with motivation in general but ESPECIALLY when them winter blues come around? I'm so tired of winter, so I'm totally there with you!! But I hope today's episode can be beneficial to you both with practical ways to get outta that slump but also some relatability, so you know you are not alone!

If you feel like you are hitting constant resistance recently in your fitness, your faith, marriage, mothering, career etc. etc. etc. please dive into today's episode!  God revealed some really good stuff to me this week concerning resistance in scripture and I wanted to share it with you!! It may also give you a completely diff outlook on resistance in general too allowing it to be more of a joy filled thing, bear with me it'll make more sense once you listen! 

Having such a beautiful BIG God we sometimes diminish the fact that He cares about our smallest concerns, our smallest struggles, our what we believe is insignificant requests; when actually in fact He cares so deeply for ALL our concerns not just the tragic BIG ones. I hope you know after this episode how much He truly cares about every little aspect of YOU! :) 

this is such a common question, doubt, struggle, and concern I get from so many of you so often, I know we have probably chatted about this before but I think it's probably time to revisit it :) I want to encourage you today with scripture to keep fighting the good fight and also encourage you with some answers to this concern :) take a listen and I hope it blesses you & gives you peace & maybe even some answers today!

living a spirit lead fitness journey in a VERY flesh lead world can be very frustrating, defeating, and confusing at times. I hope with this scripture shared in today's pod episode along with the guidance of what to move away from & what to move TOWARD you will have more freedom, joy, and clarity when it comes to achieving your goals in 2025.

Listen the enemy doesn't get possession over you, your marriage, your family, your body, your career, your purpose, your life at all in 2025! aright? we ain't letting that happen because we're praying against it today in this episode. Then we are making a list of all the things God's asking us to bring into our lives for 2025 and all the things He needs us and wants us to remove!

I'm sure you have heard the term "health is wealth" well in today's world "getting rich" and the focus on STUFF and results literally floods our eyes, ears, hearts, minds.

Hating your body into a new year isn't the way. Loathing your body into a new year isn't the way, Restricting your body into a new year isn't the way. Comparing your body into a new year isn't the way. These conditional things are not the way to lose the weight, transform your body, and become a new you in 2025. HIS LOVE is the way. It is enough. Fit church united book link:https://a.co/d/iIX6uiL

Going into another year, in just a few weeks I wanted to ensure I reminded you of (or maybe told you for the very first time) some things that if you continue doing will hold you back from becoming who Christ created you to be in 2025!

Jesus doesn't want that for you so we're gonna get ahead of that NOW :) Walking pad link & discount:Discount Code: KELSEY you will get $20 off the extra 200-$300 dollars they are offering for the black friday sale all month of November!Discount Link: www.walkingpad.com/KELSEY

today we have a sweet new friend with us on the pod. Selah is a previous worship leader since she was just 19 years old, she is now recently blessing youth groups live and many churches around the states with her testimony, worship, new song releases, and the joy and grace of Jesus that just spews from her heart and beautiful worship. Today we dive in about grace and fear and alllll things Jesus! to find and connect with Selah see her over on IG as heyits.selah and then you can listen to her amazing voice and heart of worship on Spotify as well! I have linked one of her newer albums below!

I've gotten this question a lot recently so figured it was time we dove into it! Today I'll answer this question, provide you with scripture to focus on with goal setting, pride, and also where our focus should always remain, JESUS. I'll also give you some questions to ask yourself as a gut check when you are making aesthetic goals

this is a fine line that can sometimes be crossed either by ourselves or wrongly by someone who loves us, knows us, or maybe they ain't a fan anyways lol But today we are going to dive into and discuss how discipline & disordered eating/exercise is not the same. Then I give you 3 tips to apply after distinguishing the two. also look at episodes #12, #16, #29 concerning red flags of an unhealthy relationship with food, your body, and exercise

usually we have some pretty deep emotional and connectedness kind of feels going on in the pod but today I wanted to give some soft guidelines and some knowledge to help you whether you are trying to lose weight, gain strength, or maintain. Knowledge is power and it's wise to keep growing. I just don't want you to get overwhelmed with too much, leading you to analysis paralysis. So we keep it simple today with some answers and comparisons/ benefits of strength vs aerobic activity and how much to do according to your goals! But the focus always remains the same. We are not in this journey to lose a lb or lbs* its not a quest to simply get skinny but rather evidence of obedience to God, caring for our temples, creating a healthy dwelling place for His spirit!

in this podcast we get kinda deep concerning a message the lord placed on my heart during my run today. These small whispers He always shares with me are so special to share with you on the pod because each time I have legit just had convo with you or someone else about the exact thing He reveals to me! Let's learn and grow together concerning what kind of spirit the Lord has gifted us. You'll soon learn fear is not a part of it.

Todays episode is a bit deep for being about fitness but I know so many of us have been in bondage to the lie "Ill be happy if I lose the weight" "I'll be happy if I just had the abs" "I'll be happy if I felt sexier" etc etc etc , This is a constant hamster wheel of lies that can spiral and just cause more emptiness, defeat, and discouragement instead of just finding JOY, the pure joy of Jesus in your journey . I hope this episode gives some incite and guidance on how to find freedom from this bondage of the lie "ill just be happy if___" --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/kelsey-combs/message
