Have you battled your weight your whole life? Are you sick and tired of losing and gaining the same 30, 40, or even 50 pounds over and over again? Do you wish there was a biblical solution to help you get unstuck? Are you ready to find victory and freedom from food once and for all? Far too many Christian women are stress-eating, doubting their self-worth, uncomfortable in their own skin, and feeling alone and worried that being overweight is something they will always battle. They don’t believe in the identity of who God says they are or that victory is for them. In this podcast, you will find biblical and healing solutions to set you free from the chains of emotional eating, obsessive thoughts around food, and the lies that have been keeping you stuck in the cycle of shame and hopelessness. My mission is to equip you to lose weight fast while healing your relationship with food and restoring your identity in Christ. If you’re ready to redeem the time wasted on worldly solutions in exchange for biblical weapons for weight loss and a closer walk with God, then you’re in the right place! Hey Beloved, I’m Heidi. A Jesus-loving wife, work-from-home mom, daughter of the king, and sister-Christian friend. I totally gave up during my 4th pregnancy after a lifelong battle with my weight. Years of effort, discipline, money, and energy went down the drain. I was sick and tired of yo-yo dieting and the obsessive thoughts about food and my body image, and losing and gaining the same 40-60 pounds over and over. Shame didn’t care that I was pregnant four of those times. My body was morphing and there wasn’t anything I could do about it. Having success only to gain it back throughout pregnancies or during stressful seasons of life had done a real number on my self-esteem and my confidence. I wasn’t taking risks in my business, I wasn’t living out my true calling and owning it, and I was stuck in relationships because I was being so protective with my heart. After so many failed attempts and no motivation to try again, I was seriously doubting my ability to create lasting change in my life. I knew I would not be able to rely on my own strength and honestly, I didn’t even want to. I knew I couldn’t do it by myself. BUT GOD. He is my redeemer. He’s been recovering my heart, restoring my soul, renewing my health, and rebuilding my identity in Him. After years of giving up, He exchanged my sorrow for joy and freedom with food. I’m grateful to be able to share my experience and process of releasing almost 50lbs of excess weight with others so they too can journey with Him and access the blueprint He’s laid out before me. If you’re ready to stop going through the motions and take your health and wellness next level… Willing to let God transform your thinking, heal your wounded soul and unlock your true potential… Ready to live a more fulfilled life... healthy, healed, and holy - then this is the podcast for you! Dust off your Bible and grab that green smoothie as we heal your way to weight loss so you can get back to doing the things you love!

But, before we dig into all of that, I want to make sure you know about a unique once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for inner healing. I am currently attending a powerful and intensive Prophetic Heart Healing training program and in order to complete my mentorship hours, I am booking the next 24 sessions for free. These sessions are valued at $125!

 

Have emotional hurts that aren’t yet healed? Living with broken-heartedness to one degree or another? Soul wounds can manifest in many ways including sadness, anger, depression, fear, anxiety, un-forgiveness, disunity, self-rejection, and self-hatred. The Lord is after the whole heart in connection and in relationship with Him. 

 

For a limited-time, I am offering free prophetic heart healing sessions to meet my mentorship requirements. BOOK your free Prophetic Heart Healing session at calendly.com/healthywholemom

 

What is heart healing and who needs it?

 

“Inner healing is actually the application of the crucified and resurrected life of Jesus Christ and His blood to those parts of my heart and yours that did not fully "get the message" when we first received Jesus as Savior. Because some areas deep in our hearts have not believed and accepted the good news of our death and rebirth in Him, the fullness of His work has not yet happened for us.” – John and Mark Stanford, Charisma Magazine.

 

It’s getting access to the full benefits of what Jesus paid for on the cross.

 

Healing and becoming whole is a process. And we don’t train for battle in times of war, but we train in times of peace. Don’t wait till things get really bad to learn how to connect with the Lord and receive His healing. 

 

This is not an issue of whether we’re saved or not. Salvation is a free gift. Working OUT our salvation is very different from working FOR our salvation.

 

Inner healing is a tool that can we can use to partner with the Holy Spirit to renew our minds; to step into breakthrough and freedom. Why? So that we can love the Lord with our whole heart, whole mind, and whole strength and soul.

 

The Lord is after the whole heart in connection and in relationship with Him. So often we are living with broken-heartedness to one degree or another. If those wounds are not healed, they can manifest in many ways: including sadness, anger, depression, fear, anxiety, un-forgiveness, disunity, self-rejection, and self-hatred.

 

Prophetic heart healing is about creating space for the Lord to meet with the parts of us that desperately need that complete healing that only he can bring, so we can live from our whole hearts.

 

You can book your personal session at calendly.com/healthywholemom. But remember to book fast as I am only doing 24 sessions free and then sessions will be offered at full price. I only have 18 sessions left so go claim your session TODAY!
