The Wellness and Jesus Podcast

What if we stopped treating our bodies like problems to fix and started appreciating them as gifts from God?In this first episode of our November series, Grateful, Strong & Becoming, we're talking about body changes after 40, building muscle for longevity, and shifting our wellness mindset from punishment to gratitude. Because getting stronger isn't about becoming who you used to be. It's about caring for the woman you are today.StrongHer Reset Consultationhttps://stan.store/LizCosta/p/the-strongher-resetMy Breakthrough Stack (my simplified supplements)https://stan.store/LizCosta/LizCosta_store/page/5575614

Your 40's aren't getting back to who you used to be - they're about learning to care for the woman you're becoming. As we wrap up our October wellness series, we're talking about letting go of old expectations, building sustainable habits, priortizing strength and rest, and embracing this next season with faith and intention. Because wellness isn't about going backward. It's about moving forward - stronger, wiser, and more grounded in who God created you to be.

What if your wellness routine is actually leaving you more exhausted?In this episode, we're talking about the pressure to do all the things in our 40's, why more isn't always better, and how to create simple, sustainable habits that support your energy, strength, and overall well-being. Because taking care of yourself shouldn't feel like another full-time job. Let's bring more balance, grace, and faith back into wellness.

It's time to stop focusing on making your body smaller and start building a stronger, healthier you! In this episode, we're shifting the coversation from weightloss and restriction to strength, nourishment, energy, and confidence - especially in our 40's. Because wellness isn't about chasing the body you used to have. It's about caring for the woman you're becoming, with faith and intention.

Your 40's aren't the problem - your approach might be! In this episode, we're talking about shifting your mindset around midlife wellness, from fighting your body to supporting it through strength training, nutrition, rest, and sustainable habits. It's time to stop chasing who you used to be and start becoming the strongest, healthiest version of who you are today - with faith guiding the way.

Sometimes God can't bring us into what's next until we're willing to release what's behind us. In this episode, we talk about surrendering control, letting go of old seasons, and trusting God to make room for something new.Let go. Make room. Trust God with what's next.

In this episode, we're talking about the fear, uncertainity, and "what ifs" that can come when God is leading you into a new season. A new purpose. A New opportunity. A new version of yourself.You may not have the whole plan. You may not feel ready. and you may not know exactly where the road will lead.But faith doesn't require you to have all the answers. It requires you to trust the One who does.Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. - Proverbs 3:5

Have you ever looked around and wondered, "Why am I not further along by now?"Maybe you thought you'd be in a different place in your career, relationships, family, finances, health, or life altogether. It can be easy to look at everyone else and feel like you're falling behind.But what if you're not behind?What if you're simply in a season of waiting- and God is still working?In this episode, we're talking about the uncomfortable middle- the space between where you've been and where you're going.We'll talk about comparison, trusting God's timing, learning to be present in the season you're in, and remembering that waiting doesn't mean God has forgotten you.Because sometimes the waiting is Where God is doing some of His deepest work.You are not behind. Your story is still unfolding. And God is not finished."Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord." - Psalm 27:14

In this comeback episode, I'm sharing what stepping away taught me and rest, why sometimes we need to pause before we can move forward, and what this next season of the podcast will look like.We'll talk about embracing a slower sdeason without feeling guilty, listening to what God is doing in your life, and making space for what's next.And of course, I'll share what you can expect from upcoming episodes as we continue bringing wellness, faith, and purpose together.If you've been feeling tired, stretched thin, or like you need a reset, this episode is your reminder:You don't have to rush into your next chapter. Sometimes God uses the pause to prepare you for what's next.We're Back. A new season. A fresh perspective. And I'm so glad you're here.

In this special bonus episode, we're slowing down to reflect, pray, and realign with God at the halfway point of the year. If you've been feeling waery, unclear, or in need of peace, this episode will guide you into prayer for your wellness, your purpose, and your next steps with God.
