#93: Freedom Friday - Our Words Have Power

6/9/2023
This is most likely the final episode in The Body Revelation Season where we're talking about Alisa Keeton's new book. What makes "The Body Revelation" truly special is its practical guidance and tools to help you overcome these struggles. It’s not just a book; it's a roadmap to healing and freedom. Don't miss the audios at the end of each chapter—they are my favorite part and provide extra insight and guidance. And guess what? I have an exclusive bonus just for you. For the past two years, I’ve been wanting to create a workshop to share with you some of the strategies God has used in my life to help me with my struggle with anxiety and to experience more of His peace in my life. And I finally finished it last week. WooHoo! In my brand new, Choose Calm Workshop, you'll gain access to a 10-minute routine that can help you settle your soul. Through step-by-step guidance, practical techniques, and valuable insights; this workshop will empower you to find your own path to calm and draw you closer to God. I was planning on releasing this workshop for $27, but I believe in the message of Alisa’s book so much, I’m offering it FREE when you purchase a copy her book. It’s kind of like a BOGO deal. Buy her book and get my workshop for free. You can claim this bonus even if you’ve already pre-ordered her book. Here's how you can claim your bonus ($27 value): Step 1: Purchase "The Body Revelation" from this link: https://amzn.to/43BN6ww (aff) Step 2: Once you've purchased the book, get the workshop here: https://www.aliveandactivewellness.com/online_store/choose-calm-workshop Step 3: You will need to set up an account or log in to your account first.

I normally don’t promote other people’s books and I’ve never created a bonus like this before for someone else’s book. However, I can't express enough how much this book has transformed my own journey. It has given me practical techniques to process my emotions and negative energy with the Lord, leading to moments of true peace and joy, even in the midst of life's challenges.

#88: Freedom Friday - Ability Over Vanity

5/5/2023
The last 18 months I’ve been focused on losing the weight I gained in 2021. 2021 was challenging and stressful for our family. And for me it triggered emotions from situations 20 years ago that came flooding to the surface. Looking back, I realize I had some tools to process emotional pain, but didn’t really know how to fully apply them in a season where everything felt so overwhelming. So I went to food and started binging shows on HGTV to numb the pain. Once the major crisis began to die down and I realized I had gained weight, I started trying to lose it. But it wouldn’t come off. It felt like it was glued to my body. I know what to do. I am a certified fitness instructor and nutrition coach. My degree is in physical therapy. I know all the things to do but it wasn’t working because I still needed to metabolize the pain. And @alisakeeton ‘s new book #thebodyrevelation is helping me to do this. One of the first steps for me was to take my focus off of needing to lose the weight and to begin practicing gratitude for what my body can do. I have a good body. I can use it to serve others and serve God. I’m grateful that I can still walk and workout. I’m grateful that I’m not in chronic pain. Aches and pains? Yes. But not debilitating pain. Ability over vanity. Will you join me? I know we are all looking for the quick fix but what about spending some time getting to the root of the issue? It’s worth it. You’re worth it. You can pre-order the book and start reading the first four chapters today here: https://revelationwellness.org/tbr
