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!

03 // Feel Overwhelmed, Overweight, AND Out Of Control? HOW to Mend Your Relationship With Food By Inviting Jesus Into It

Thursday Nov 12, 2020

Thursday Nov 12, 2020

Are you struggling to find your identity with Christ?  Failing to involve the Lord in your life decisions and relationships that you partake? The journey towards deeper wellness begins with you knowing who you truly are in Christ Jesus.

 

In this episode, we have Robyn Wright, a fitness, nutrition, and lifestyle coach who helps women find their identity in Christ and create an intimacy with Him. She helps create that connection with deeper wellness. Robyn shares her story about a traumatic childhood, languishing in sin for many years, and how she found peace and love in the Lord.

 

One day the Lord challenged her saying, “Robyn, I didn’t deliver you from an eating disorder for you to keep that to yourself.” So, in faithful obedience she began to take steps into unknown territory and co-create with God something that would help bring breakthrough and freedom to mamas who are lacking body confidence, feeling guilt and shame about their weight, are frustrated with themselves, and feeling overwhelmed and stuck in negative self-talk because they know the direction they want to go with their health - and perhaps have even hit that mark in the past, but as a busy mom, they just don’t know how to get back there again. 
 
Does that sound like you, beloved? 
 
I know that it sounds like me, and if like me, you are motivated to do things differently this time around, and finally ditch perfection, put yourself first, and simplify your health habits in order to create lasting results so that you can walk in true freedom and all that God has called you to be, then stay tuned because you are not going to want to miss this interview and invitation at the end of this episode! 

 

Listen in to learn how you can transform your health and fitness journey by inviting Jesus and leaning into Him first. 

 

“Every season of life provides an opportunity for that identity to continue to evolve.” ~Robyn Wright

 

Top Takeaways:

  • Learning how to move from dysfunction and finding your true identity in Christ
  • The power of allowing Jesus to wash you clean and free you from shame
  • Taking the action towards who you are and inviting the Lord to guide you through your relationship with food journey

 

What you will learn:

  • [4:22] Robyn shares her traumatic childhood, her history with lack of self-worth, and finding love in Christ.
  • [8:57] How allowing God to take control of her life has transformed Robyn’s life over the last 10 years.
  • [11:40] How to reform your relationship with food as a woman and stop it from being your master.
  • [15:27] The five foundational things you can create habits around to bring your body where it functions and looks good for your individual being.
  • [20:52] Learning to lean into Christ and invite Him into your health and fitness journey, plus how to be clear with your goals as a working mom.  
  • [23:33] How to first create a relationship with Jesus and His kingdom and then reaping the fruits of it.
  • [28:48] Robyn talks about her 8-week ‘Feast in Freedom’ challenge that’s going to help women find their true identity with Christ and transform their relationship with food over the holidays.

02 // When Passion And Clarity Collide - A Behind The Scenes Look At The Birthing Of Covered Beloved

Monday Oct 19, 2020

Monday Oct 19, 2020

Has God ever asked you to “leap first and figure it out as you go?” Yeah, me too. But that's not what He's asking me to do this time!

 

In this episode, I share a little more about my podcast’s mission and why I am so passionate about it! I thought it would be fun to give you a little behind the scenes action in a real-time discovery moment with my podcast coach where she helps me go through the process and get clarity on taking my current branding - which wasn’t much and keeps evolving, and transition it into what you are seeing and hearing today. I am considering this great practice in transparency, authenticity, and vulnerability in sharing this behind the scenes moment with all of you!

 

P.S. If you are looking to start a podcast, I know the best coach to help you plan and launch it! Message me directly and I will personally message you back and connect you.
