In this powerful conversation, Coach Alex sits down with health coach, fitness instructor, and workshop leader Leah Fruth to explore the often-overlooked role of forgiveness in our physical and spiritual health. Leah vulnerably shares her own story of profound grief, unprocessed pain, and how God taught her that healing the body is inseparable from healing the soul.Together, they dive into what it means to release bitterness, walk in freedom, and treat the body not as a project to fix but as a temple to steward.

In this episode of "Success Leaves Clues," Sarah Short speaks with Alex Nunn, a former charity sector leader turned executive coach. Alex shares her journey from navigating burnout in the non-profit world to building a thriving coaching business that supports the very sector she left.Alex opens up about the myth that "clients will just find you," the power of narrowing your niche, and how she now helps charity CEOs avoid the burnout she experienced herself.Key Takeaways1. The Path from Accidental Leader to Coach - Alex spent her career in the charity sector, focusing on mental health and homelessness, eventually becoming an "accidental leader" as she progressed through senior roles. However, during the pandemic, balancing work and motherhood led to burnout. After receiving coaching herself, she realised she wanted to help people thrive through the science of positive psychology.2. The Marketing Reality Check - Despite holding a Master's degree in Applied Positive Psychology and Coaching Psychology, Alex realised that qualifications alone don't build a business.She was initially told, "You never need to market your business... people will just find you," but quickly discovered this was not the case.This realisation led her to seek out The Coaching Revolution to learn the necessary business development skills.3. The Power of "Nailing the Niche" - Alex describes her experience with the Nail Your Niche Challenge:Initially, she marketed herself broadly around "wellbeing," attracting a mix of people.Through the challenge, she realised that tightening her focus to female CEOs in the charity sector made her messaging stronger.Alex notes that "the tighter I focus, the louder my voice," echoing advice from her mentors.4. Impacting the Sector from the Outside - Alex now works adjacent to the charity sector rather than inside it, which allows her to make a significant impact without the internal burnout.She notes that charity leaders often face unique pressures to "deliver more for less" and suffer from the loneliness of the CEO role.By coaching the CEO, she creates a ripple effect that improves the well-being of the entire organisation and helps them achieve their charitable aims.5. Resilience in Business - Alex shares a candid look at the ups and downs of entrepreneurship. After early success using platforms like TikTok, she faced a personal bereavement that slowed her momentum. However, by re-engaging fully with her marketing and being authentic, her business picked up again, leading to speaking engagements and ideal client work.The Nail Your Niche Challenge: A free, four-day challenge run by Sarah Short three times a year (September, January, and after Easter). Designed to help coaches understand why a target audience sets you free rather than restricting you.Join the waiting list: thecoachingrevolution.com/nailyourniche.Have you enjoyed this episode?

Episode SummaryWhat if peace wasn't just a feeling you occasionally experience but a person you follow daily? In this episode, Coach Alex sits down with author, speaker, and podcast host Michelle Brumgard to explore what she calls The Pace of Peace.Michelle shares how years of praying for calm—in her body, her marriage, and her home—revealed that true peace isn't found in quick fixes, quiet moments, or the absence of chaos, but in Christ Himself, the Prince of Peace.Through vulnerable stories of motherhood, marriage struggles, overwhelm, and the practical demands of daily life, Michelle helps us understand how to pause, pray, and invite Jesus into the middle of our messy days.Together, Alex and Michelle unpack how peace intersects with our health, fitness, and homes—and why striving for control only leads to more overwhelm. Whether you're a busy parent, a believer battling stress, or simply hungry for God's presence in your everyday life, this conversation will remind you to slow down, breathe, and walk at the pace of peace.Main Discussion Themes-Why peace is not just an emotion but a person (Jesus, the Prince of Peace)-Michelle's journey: from overwhelm, anxiety, and striving to living at God's pace-The difference between worldly peace (quick fixes, calm moments) and biblical peace-Overwhelm as the opposite of peace—and practical ways to reset-The P.A.C.E. acronym: Pray And Continue Earnestly-How overwhelm shows up in parenting, marriage, health, and the home-Simple daily practices for pausing, praying, and re-centering on Christ -Michelle's free resource: Five Proverbs to Pray When You Feel Overwhelmed-Her upcoming book The Pace of Peace (January release)Timestamped Outline00:00 – 05:00 | Pre-show: life on the farm, fiber internet, kids growing up05:00 – 12:00 | Introducing Michelle: mom of two, podcast host, relaunching her coaching ministry 12:00 – 20:00 | Why peace became her life's message (journaling, prayer, revelation)20:00 – 28:00 | What peace is not: quick fixes, pills, naps, or achieving goals28:00 – 40:00 | Biblical peace as presence with Christ—even in chaos 40:00 – 55:00 | Overwhelm: the opposite of peace (parenting, schedules, meals, body image)55:00 – 01:05:00 | Practical resets: journaling, prayer, prioritizing with God01:05:00 – 01:15:00 | The P.A.C.E. acronym: Pray And Continue Earnestly01:15:00 – 01:25:00 | Free resource: Five Proverbs to Pray When You Feel Overwhelmed01:25:00 – 01:30:00 | Final encouragement + closing prayerMove Forward Today✅Get Coach Alex's new book today!

✨ Episode Summary In this groundbreaking episode of the Faithful Fitness Podcast, Coach Alex sits down with Drew Boa—author of Outgrow Porn and founder of Husband Material Ministries—to tackle one of the most hidden yet destructive struggles in the Church today: pornography.Drew combines neuroscience, psychology, and biblical truth to offer a message of hope far beyond “try harder” strategies and purity culture. Together, Alex and Drew explore how porn is not simply a moral issue but a sexualized solution to unprocessed pain—and how healing, maturity, and God's grace provide the true path to freedom.This episode will challenge you, encourage you, and equip you (or someone you love) to walk in freedom, heal from shame, and redeem sexuality under the Lordship of Christ.
Sacrifice, grit, burnout, and the fight to be great: this month's Rundown Recap dives into four stories that every driven person needs to hear.The fellas kick things off with “Sacrifice Isn't Sustainable,” a raw look at how constantly grinding and giving everything can start to take more than it gives. What happens when the thing you love starts burning you out?Then, in “The Art of Championship Racing,” they unpack what separates the good from the great when everything's on the line; the mindset, the confidence, and the quiet control it takes to rise in the biggest moments.Next up is “Fuel for the Work Required,” a reminder that there's no secret sauce, just consistency, simplicity, and showing up when no one's watching. And finally, “Resist the Pull of Mediocrity” challenges all of us to fight against comfort, to refuse to settle for “good enough,” and to keep pushing toward what we're truly capable of.It's one of those conversations that goes way beyond running,it's about mindset, ambition, and how to build a life around doing hard things well. Tune in, this month's edition might be the reset you didn't know you needed.Tap into the Rundown Recap Special.

With wisdom rooted in Scripture, neuroscience, and lived experience, she exposes the dangers of spiritualized diet culture and invites listeners into a deeper, gentler view of health rooted in truth, not trends.They explore the subtle idols of body image, the power of nervous system regulation, and the beauty of being Spirit-led in nutrition, movement, and life.
