If you've ever felt like you're either "all in" or "all out" with your health, this episode is for you. Today we're breaking down the all-or-nothing holiday mindset: why it happens, what Scripture actually says about balance, and how to create consistency that honors God.

Christian dietitian, Madison, shares the biblical truth behind our tendency to swing between control and chaos, and how to find freedom through faith-led discipline.

You'll learn:

• Why the Mary and Martha story (Luke 10:38–42) is the perfect picture of grace over striving
• The psychology behind all-or-nothing thinking and why your brain craves extremes
• How perfectionism, fear of failure, and shame fuel this pattern

Consider this your loving nudge to start now. Small, steady, and surrendered.

Most women think they need a "fresh start" in the New Year to finally eat healthy, exercise consistently, and feel good in their bodies.

But what if waiting until January is actually what's keeping you stuck? In this episode, we dive deep into:

• The truth vs. lies behind the "I'll start after the holidays" mindset
• How to apply the 80/20 method through a biblical lens (without restriction or guilt)
• Why honoring your body is about stewardship, not striving
• How to find balance between enjoying holiday food and honoring God with your habits

You don't need another "new year, new me."

You need a renewed mind, consistent habits, and faith-led discipline that starts now.

If you're ready to end the year strong in body, mind, and spirit, this episode is your sign.
