If your weekends - or week nights -are spent at the ballfield, you know how tempting it is to grab whatever's quick and call it “lunch.” But mama, your body deserves more. In this episode, I'll show you how to pack a simple, protein-focused food bag that keeps you full, fuels fat loss, and supports your hormones—without adding stress to your day.We're talking protein, macros, and the truth about what your midlife metabolism really needs. Plus, I'll share my go-to snack list, tackle common excuses, and encourage you to fuel your body like it matters—because it does.In This Episode, You'll Learn:Why protein is essential for fat loss and hormone balance in midlifeWhat skipping meals is doing to your energy and metabolismHow to make ballgame days easier with a simple packing routinePractical snack ideas you can throw in a cooler and take to the fieldA biblical reminder that even your food choices can glorify God

Have you ever whispered to yourself, “I'll always struggle with this…”?In this vulnerable episode of Living on Mission, I'm sharing the moment everything shifted in my journey with food—and what it looked like to finally break free from strongholds that had held me back for years.Not through willpower. Not through another diet.But through surrender, healing, and a faithful God who never gives up on us.This episode is for every woman who feels stuck in shame, exhaustion, or the lie that lasting freedom isn't possible.Friend, Jesus is not done with you. And your breakthrough might be closer than you think.

If you've spent years striving in your own strength—obsessing over diets, falling into guilt cycles, or trying to “get it together” in your health—this episode is for you.In this honest and heartfelt conversation, we're talking about what it really looks like to surrender your health to the Lord. Not just your food choices or workouts, but the deeper places: your strongholds, your sin struggles, and the habits that keep pulling you away from freedom.You'll be reminded that God doesn't want your perfection—He wants your dependence. This isn't about giving up… it's about laying it all down and trusting Him to carry you through.

In today's episode of Living on Mission, we're breaking down the science behind lasting fat loss—and why it should never be rushed. If you've been tempted by quick fixes like Weight Watchers or Ozempic, or feel frustrated that your results aren't coming fast enough, this is your reminder that true transformation takes time, intention, and faith.You'll learn why fat loss is a slow and scientific process, how your body is wired by God to heal and adapt, and what Scripture says about stewarding your health with patience and peace. This episode combines common sense, metabolic truth, and spiritual encouragement to help you stay the course without shame or stress.

In this powerful episode, we dive into Judges 1 and 2—specifically verses 2–3—and explore what it means to fully surrender every area of our lives to the One True God.Too often, we hold onto "Canaanites"—habits, mindsets, strongholds, or stumbling blocks—that keep us from honoring God with our bodies. Whether it's emotional eating, comparison, neglect, or striving in our own strength, God is calling us to clear the land.You'll walk away from this episode feeling convicted, encouraged, and equipped to identify the spiritual clutter that's standing in the way of your physical obedience. Because the way we care for our bodies matters in the Kingdom.

In this powerful episode, I'm joined by the lovely Sarah Green (@sarah.elizabethwriter), a writer, storyteller, and encourager of women navigating the often messy middle of midlife. Sarah brings her signature honesty and heart to a conversation that every woman in perimenopause needs to hear.We chat about what it looks like to actually take care of yourself when your hormones feel out of whack, your energy is low, and life feels anything but simple. Sarah reminds us that health isn't about overhauling your life overnight—it's about tuning in, taking small, grace-filled steps, and remembering that you're not alone.✨ In This Episode, We Cover:Sarah's journey through perimenopause and how it shaped her messageWhy "doing less" can actually lead to more healingHow to start small with health habits (even when you're tired and overwhelmed)The connection between body, soul, and storytellingPermission to pivot, pause, and listen to what your body needsA gentle reminder that you are still becoming

If you workout as a woman, I'm sure you've wondered this exact thing! I get asked on a weekly basis from my clients and followers if we should workout FASTED (without a pre-workout meal) as women. There is LOTS of confusing information out there on this subject, and I pray this doesn't confuse you more!  But more than ANYTHING, I want you to hear the truth that this is an INDIVIDUAL case by case basis. Prolonged periods of intense workouts without food CAN damage your hormone and your health and lead to fat gain. But periodic and healthy cardio exercise in a fasted state is NOT damaging to most women.  Here my FULL thoughts and the science behind my thoughts in this episode.

You will NEVER regret giving something up to grow closer to God.  Christy's story is a beautiful testimony to God calling us out of a life of complacency and into grace and abundance in Him!  An author, lawyer, and double certified sobriety and life coach, Christy traded in her days and nights drinking alcohol to now become an advocate for living a life of sobriety.  In her own words,"It looked like I had it all. Loving husband. Two kids. A glamorous life in London. Popular blog. Royal commentator on Sky News. One morning I woke up, with a particularly bad hangover and was scrolling through my feed. None of it felt authentic, something was missing. I wasn't happy or fulfilled. And I knew alcohol was a big part of that feeling."You are going to LOVE her story and her encouragement whether you need to lay off the alcohol or even food that you know is not giving life to your body and your witness!  Grab her 40 day devotional: Love Life Sober: A 40-Day Alcohol Fast to Rediscover Your Joy, Improve Your Health, and Renew Your MindFollow Christy on IG : https://www.instagram.com/lovelifesoberwithchristy/Christy's Blog: https://www.lovelifesober.co.uk/I am always love to connect with you!Don't hesitate to reach out!Personal Instagram: @racheljmitchellPodcast Instagram: @livingonmissionpodEmail: rachel@racheljmitchell.comJoin my next six week round of coaching!
