Today I'm joined by Olivia Martinez-Reynolds to talk about how our fitness has deepened our faith in Jesus and some lessons we've learned along the way. Through navigating self doubt, becoming mentally tough, pushing past what we think is possible, honoring our bodies, and doing shadow work with personal development, we cover the mindsets behind it all.
Truly, your fitness journey can become a mirror for your faith journey, revealing the parts of you that need compassion, surrender, and trust.
You’ll learn how to:✨ Create a deeper why behind why you want to be healthy and fit, espeically if you want to be more disciplined and consistent ✨ Turn self doubt into self awareness through faith and shadow work✨ Pursue deeper faith and fitness with curiosity and letting go of control ✨ Learn to get on the same side as yourself and stop wrestling with the inner voice that says you're not good enough or too much✨ Rebuild confidence and self-trust through grace and consistency
