I’ve been on a bit of a hiatus while recovering from my second skin removal surgery. It’s been a journey, I’ll just say that. Perhaps I’ll do a whole podcast episode on that later.
Thank you so much for praying for me. I am doing better each day, but it’s been really hard to have the full brain capacity to do all the things, and if you know me, I like to be productive. But sometimes.. You can only do what you can do.
So.. I’m hoping to be back in action with the podcast at least.
On today’s episode we’re going to talk fat burning. What do you think of when you think of burning fat?
Sometimes I think we can get this idea in our head that getting rid of body fat is only something the fitness pros do, or the bodybuilder. But, that’s not the case.
It’s actually important in our weight loss journeys to make fat-burning a practice. But… and it’s a big but.. How we do that matters. It’s important for us to make sure our bodies are in the best position possible for that.
There are tons of strategies out there to burn fat, but that doesn’t mean they’re the right strategy. Today we’re going to shed a little light on 7 fat-burning mistakes to avoid and what to do instead.
You can tune in right here…

In the last episode of The Diet Haters Podcast, I talked about God restoring what the locusts have eaten. He restores what the enemy has tried to steal from us in our lives.
But what does it look like after that restoration happens? What does it look like for our health to be redeemed? Our relationships? Our dreams? Our greatest desires?
A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to speak at Gateway Church in Ashland City, TN on this very topic – redeeming the time. It was such a beautiful experience. What you don’t hear in this episode is what happened afterwards. A few different women came up to me and thanked me for sharing my story with them, but then they got real and raw about their own struggles. And I was able to pray with them. And man.. That’s one of the greatest rewards from sharing your story, seeing others inspired and praying with them. I wish you could’ve been there.
But.. when you listen to today’s episode, you’ll kinda be there. So.. I hope you enjoy it, my friend.

Holy Smokes this is an exciting week!
- I’m getting skin removal surgery THIS FRIDAY!
- My Moment group is launching. (Not too late to join.)
- And I’ve got a new podcast episode out today I’m excited for you to listen to!
A few weeks ago I had the chance to do an interview with The Kevin Shorey Show in Nashville. We had a great time talking about how God can restore what the enemy has tried to steal.
Joel 2:25 tells us that “God will restore what the locusts have eaten.” I don’t know about you, but I’m holding onto that promise.
In this interview, I shared part of my story on how food became a coping mechanism for me. I talked about shame, sexual abuse, and how God brought me out of a relationship I didn’t need need to be in.
I also talked about why the church needs to stop trying to play Holy Spirit and let Holy Spirit do what He’s come to do. Touchy subject, I know..
Hope you enjoy the interview and be sure to check out Kevin Shorey! He’s awesome!

In last week’s episode, we talked about the importance of guarding our hearts, but doing so the right way. We’re spending some time going through the four chambers of the heart, as described in Annie F. Downs’ book, Perfectly Unique: Love Yourself Completely, Just As You Are.
We covered some deep, yet powerfully freeing stuff, so I wanted to break it up into two episodes so we had some time to process. And like I love to do, I gave you some heartwork. If you haven’t had a chance to listen yet, don’t miss out.
Guarding our hearts the proper way means everything for us in every area of our lives, not just weight loss. But.. If we want to get healthy and stay that way, we must work on our hearts. Otherwise, our results will only be temporary.
Last week we talked about allowing the right people to have access to our hearts, and also allowing God to have access to our heart.
In this episode, we’re going to talk about:
- How to love God back
- Knowing our identity in Christ
I’m excited to dive in with you. Listen here.

Perhaps you’ve heard the verse before.. Proverbs 4:23, “Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.”
Maybe today’s the first day you’ve ever heard it. That’s okay, too.
Either way, we’re going to dive into this passage together and learn how to guard our heart the proper way, which means everything for us in every area of our lives, not just weight loss. But.. If we want to get healthy and stay that way, we must work on our hearts. Otherwise, our results will only be temporary.
I’ve been reading this book from Annie F. Downs, called Perfectly Unique: Love Yourself Completely, Just As You Are. It’s so good for so many reasons, but when I got to the chapter focused on the heart, I knew we needed to have a deeper talk about it.
Our hearts matter for so many reasons. Taking care of it is vital for all parts of us – physically, and for our soul (our mind, will, and emotions). If we don’t take care of the hearts God gave us, we’re going to wind up in trouble in every area of our lives.
In the words from Annie F. Downs in Perfectly Unique, we’re going to talk about “the inner heart, the place in you that you know so well… the secret place that houses your inner deepest wants, your secret crushes, and those most painful memories and hurts. That’s the one we want to focus on here, because that heart is the core of who you are as a person – as you.”
We’re going to dissect (sorry, I couldn’t help myself), the four chambers of the heart in this episode.
So, if you’re ready to learn some exciting things on how to guard your heart, listen here..

Heartwork Questions
- Do you have one or two or more close friends who have access to your heart? What about them makes you feel safe enough to let them in?
- If you answered no to that question, make a list of 3-5 people who you feel like you could trust with the inner parts of your heart.
- Reach out to them for coffee, lunch, a walk, something.. And ask them if they’d be willing to be a safe, loving person in your life. Let them know you’re working on guarding your heart well and letting the right people in, and that you would like for them to be one of those people.
- Do you struggle to allow God to love you? If so, go to Him in prayer and ask Him to show you why.
- Is there something you need to forgive God for? If so, tell Him. He can handle it. Ask Him what steps you need to take to work through that hurt with Him so that there are no barriers in your relationship with Him.

How many diets have you been on that go a little something like this… Throw everything out of your pantry immediately. Get a food scale. Get a body scale. Stop eating all carbs immediately. Pack your fridge full of lettuce and kale because that’s all you’re allowed to eat. Sunday night you have to eat yourself into oblivion so you can get started on the right foot getting skinny on Monday.
Are you relating to this at all? Well.. let me just tell you friend, that’s not how we roll in the Diet Haters world. We’ve gotta learn how to stop doing these crazy things to ourselves.
In this episode, we’re gonna focus on four simple foundations to weight loss. These are easy to follow and change everything for your health journey. You don’t have to count your calories, restrict foods, or even cut out foods if you don’t want to. Just some simple steps.
Most diets have convinced you that in order to lose weight you have to restrict everything and can never have any fun. But that’s not how God created us. He created us to enjoy food. He created us to have fun. Weight loss isn’t always serious.
So, let’s get back to the basics – to these simple foundations. Click here to listen…
