Do you deal with crippling fear & doubt that can invade your mind at any given moment and weighs you down mentally?

Your new bestie, coach, mentor and sister in Christ that cannot wait to speak life into you and activate you to take action in the life that you have been so blessed with. I remember the days where I was hiding behind the very things that were robbing me of all of my time and energy. I was crippled by fear of failure, the opinions of others and lacked major boundaries. I was operating in a lack mentality in my motherhood, overcommitted to things that weren’t fully serving me and not letting my husband in on my mind battles. Not to mention allowing my relationship with God to be on the back burner because hello- there was no time for that. That was a recipe for disaster that quickly led to burn out and frustration. It wasn’t until I realized that I was absolutely not alone, and so many other women were struggling with the same things that I began to be honest with myself. I have since been able to apply a framework in structuring my life that has changed everything for the better.

11 | Mental Health in Faith- Jesus Immerse My Mind with Ps. Marie Silva
In honor of May being Mental Health Awareness month we are taking a look at different areas that mental health shows up in. Within the Journey to Becoming Roadmap which is the framework taught inside the Joyful Fit Life Community, we focus on 4 areas of life, Faith, Relationships, Wellness & Contribution. Today we are discussing how to use our Faith to combat the lies, generational strongholds and half truths we all struggle with.    My spiritual mother, Pastor Marie Silva is joining us to share from her recent book “Immersed” and how we must invite Jesus to immerse our minds. As women inside and outside of the church this is something that we all deal with probably more than we would like to admit. Pastor Marie shares practical ways to “exchange the conversation” that will lead to life change. The choice is up to us!    I am confident that after listening to this episode that is full of encouragement, biblical truth and beautiful imagery- you will have a few more “tools in your arsenal” to experience new levels of freedom and healing.  Scriptures referenced:  2 Corinthians 10:5 Philippians 4:6-8   I pray this blesses you,  Xoxo Coach Joy    Don’t live in isolation anymore, join the community: Join the Joyful Fit Life Community: https://joyful-fit-life.mn.co   Resources Mentioned:   Pastor Marie’s Book- Immersed:  Link to Order Immersed on Amazon   Connect with Pastor Marie:    https://www.instagram.com/mariesilva/   https://www.instagram.com/fiercelyfemininewoman/ Get your Gifts:  Check out the “30 Days to Becoming” email: https://www.thejoyfulfitlife.com/39581/30-day-email-landing-page/ Join our FREE FB group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2486808534941816   Connect with me here: IG: https://www.instagram.com/joyfulfit_life/ Email: joy@thejoyfulfitlife.com

10 | Sharing my Testimony Part 2- The "Joy" behind the Journey, navigating loss from suicide & overcoming toxic family patterns
Continuing from Part 1 of my testimony, today I am sharing about the loss of another family member to suicide, my brother. As if losing your mom wasn’t hard enough, 20 years later I relived my worst nightmare. It was three days before my wedding day when I received a call from my Dad telling me to come home. To my dismay learning that my brother took his life caused so much pain again, and this time even more vivid as I was now an adult.    Navigating loss around yet another huge moment in your life is something that I would never wish on anyone. But, God. I was shown time and time again that God is truly in all of the details of our lives, no matter how small. The lessons that God has taught me since the passing of my brother have brought so many layers of healing and restoration, I am confident that they will bring hope to any situation you may be currently facing.    I share this part of my story to inspire you to cling to Jesus through the highest of highs and lowest of lows, He is truly our strength through it all! Thank you for listening and I believe that we are now closer after these past two episodes!    Scriptures referenced:  Joel 2:25   I pray this blesses you,  Xoxo Coach Joy    Don’t live in isolation anymore, join the community: Join the Joyful Fit Life Community: https://joyful-fit-life.mn.co   Get your Gifts:  Check out the “30 Days to Becoming” email: https://www.thejoyfulfitlife.com/39581/30-day-email-landing-page/ Join our FREE FB group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2486808534941816   Connect with me here: IG: https://www.instagram.com/joyfulfit_life/ Email: joy@thejoyfulfitlife.com

09 | Sharing my Testimony Part 1- The "Joy" behind the Journey, navigating loss from suicide & overcoming toxic family patterns
In this episode I am sharing with you about my personal testimony and what God has done in my life. I lost my mom when I was 6 years old, she had succumbed to a deep depression and took her own life. Growing up without a mom I had to navigate feeling “less than” which contributed to a heavy lack/poverty mentality. I share some defining moments growing up as I began to share about the loss and realized that there was healing in speaking about the pain. My empathy grew for others so deeply that I began to keep a journal to remind me to check in on my friends and to be there for them in any way that I could.   The healing & restoration that has taken place in my life is something that can only be done through God. I have realized that the isolation that my mom dealt with is so common for us women. The enemy wants to isolate us all thinking that no one cares or knows what we are going through and that is the furthest thing from the truth. There is nothing that we can do to separate us from the love of God and I pray that through listening you are encouraged and reminded that however “stuck” you may be feeling in life, your life is worth living and showing up for.   It is through my painful past of deep loss that has birthed my passion for helping women live out their full potential. Remember to always be kind, you may never know what someone is going through.     Scriptures referenced: Genesis 50:20 Romans 8:38-39 Romans 5:8   I pray this blesses you, Xoxo Coach Joy If you or someone you know needs help call 988 suicide & crisis hotline Don’t do life alone:  Join the Joyful Fit Life Community: https://joyful-fit-life.mn.co   Connect with me here: Get your Gifts Check out the “30 Days to Becoming” email: https://www.thejoyfulfitlife.com/39581/30-day-email-landing-page/ Join our FREE FB group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2486808534941816   IG: https://www.instagram.com/joyfulfit_life/ Email: joy@thejoyfulfitlife.com

08 | Emotional Health- What is it and how it could be the missing piece to your transformation as a Christian Woman
08 | Emotional Health- What is it and how it could be the missing piece to your transformation as a Christian Woman   In this episode we explore what Emotional Health is for those that may not fully understand what it actually is and how to grow in this area. Emotional Health has played a huge role in my transformation into all I am becoming as a wife, mom, daughter, mentor, coach etc , but first I had to quit. QUIT?! You may be thinking, “isn’t quitting bad?!” Well, not in this case, it has been the HEALTHIEST thing I have done.    Exploring the layers of Emotional Health from a Biblical perspective has brought what used to be past pain into new levels of freedom. This has been a foundational part of healing for the Joyful Fit Life Community as well- and will continue to be; so we can all step into who we are becoming. One of the ways that Emotional Health was introduced to me was through the book “ The Emotionally Healthy Woman”- a definite must read, and read again, highlight, take notes- all of the things!    I will share the Top 3 Principles that stood out to me of the 8 that are covered in this book in hopes that you not only can relate, but realize that you are not ALONE! We are in this together Woman of God, let’s continue to heal and change the trajectory of our lives and the lives of those we impact!  Scriptures referenced:  Ecclesiastes 3:1   I pray this blesses you,  Xoxo Coach Joy    Don’t live in isolation anymore, join the community: Join the Joyful Fit Life Community: https://joyful-fit-life.mn.co   Emotionally Healthy Woman Book on Amazon: The Emotionally Healthy Woman by Geri Scazzero   Emotional Health Resources: https://www.emotionallyhealthy.org/   Get your Gifts:  Check out the “30 Days to Becoming” email: https://www.thejoyfulfitlife.com/39581/30-day-email-landing-page/ Join our FREE FB group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2486808534941816   Connect with me here: IG: https://www.instagram.com/joyfulfit_life/ Email: joy@thejoyfulfitlife.com

07 | Releasing the past version of yourself, to make room for all that you are becoming as a woman of God
We all know that “nothing changes if nothing changes”, but what does that mean for you as a woman of God who is on her journey to becoming all that God created you to be?! We are talking all about that in today’s episode.    Why is it so hard to release the old patterns?! They are what has shaped so much of our lives and can very often be all that we know and so comfortable. I know that what God wants to do within your life will absolutely be worth the WORK that it will take to become all that He has already placed inside of you.    What will you have to leave behind? What old patterns? What old mindsets? Maybe for you,  it’s relationships, because we cannot take everyone with us on this journey either. I am confident that after listening to this episode you will have a better idea of what you need to leave and all of what God has waiting for you to step into!    Scriptures referenced:  Luke 5:27 TPT James 1:2 NIV   New Wine By Hillsong Worship: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ozGKlOzEVc   I pray this blesses you,  Xoxo Coach Joy    Don’t live in isolation anymore, join the community: Join the Joyful Fit Life Community: https://joyful-fit-life.mn.co   Get your Gifts:  Check out the “30 Days to Becoming” email: https://www.thejoyfulfitlife.com/39581/30-day-email-landing-page/ Join our FREE FB group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2486808534941816   Connect with me here: IG: https://www.instagram.com/joyfulfit_life/ Email: joy@thejoyfulfitlife.com
05 | Taking action vs. Being in Motion as a Christian woman, how to build momentum with clarity.

05 | Taking action vs. Being in Motion as a Christian woman, how to build momentum with clarity.
Today we are chatting about the differences between taking action and being in motion: what the difference is and why it matters to you as a woman who is on her Journey to Becoming all that God has created her to be! One of the books I reference to help shift my perspective on this is Atomic Habits by James Clear, a definite 10/10 recommend!    There is no doubt that you have all the best of intentions when it comes to bettering yourself in life. Everyone wants it, and yet there are few people who can build momentum in these areas because they feel “stuck”. We are going to address the main reasons why this is so common and how to overcome them so you begin to see that transformation in your life!   I share examples of taking action vs. being in motion in the 4 areas we focus on in our Journey to Becoming; Faith, Relationships, Wellness & Contribution. At the end of the day as we dig deeper to the root of “why” we do the things we do, it is rooted in our identity… what God says about us!    I pray that in this episode you don’t just hear my voice, but what God is also impressing and reminding you about who He created you to be!     Scriptures referenced:  James 1:22 NLT Habbakuk 2:3 NLT   I pray this blesses you,  Xoxo Coach Joy    Connect with me here:  Get your Gifts  Check out the “30 Days to Becoming” email: https://www.thejoyfulfitlife.com/39581/30-day-email-landing-page/ Join our FREE FB group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2486808534941816   Take intentional action Join the Joyful Fit Life Community: https://joyful-fit-life.mn.co IG: https://www.instagram.com/joyfulfit_life/ Email: joy@thejoyfulfitlife.com

In this episode I am sharing with you 5 tips to help you create a morning routine that best serves you! It can be very easy to get caught up in what everyone else is doing and quickly compare yourself to a perfected curated “morning routine” post- that may not even be real. If it doesn’t serve you, it won’t last, period.   Creating a morning routine has been a complete game changer in my life. It has contributed so much peace to the start of my day first for myself and then trickles in to how I get to serve my family, and I know it will be the same for you. These simple tips are designed to help you make your routine your own and gain confidence in it.

03 | Living with Vision as a Christian Woman- How & where to start even if you feel you are too busy
Mar 11 2024
03 | Living with Vision as a Christian Woman- How & where to start even if you feel you are too busy
In this episode we are talking all things Vision! If you are already feeling a little stressed like uhhh I am not sure how to even begin to think about vision because I am just trying to make it one day at a time, you are not alone! It can be very common to feel that way and some women have even shared that they are embarrassed to admit that they are not living with vision at all.    This episode is going to bring you the clarity that you need to start! Starting right where you are, with what you have! So many times we want to wait for the perfect moment or when we feel “ready”, but starting now is where it’s at! We are going to be honest with ourselves by taking responsibility for where we are and then developing a vision for where we want to be. To do this, we first need to include God in this vision, writing it down and then submitting it to Him with full trust that He knows what He is doing! We also need to make sure it is an emotionally driven vision. We serve a God that exceeds our expectations, and He does this not by pushing us around, but by working within us!    Begin to envision what you want your relationship with God to look like, your marriage, your motherhood, your mental & emotional health and how you are showing up in life. It will take some time to develop and I know that you will be so proud of yourself for simply, starting. There is no one saying that it has to be done perfectly, but the sooner you get started, the sooner you can begin to live it out!    Need further help with your vision- make sure to click the first link below to join our free “30 days to Becoming” email where you will gain clarity and direction in developing your God given vision!    Scriptures referenced:  Proverbs 29:18 Proverbs 16:9 Habakkuk 2:2-3 Jeremiah 29:11 Ephesians 3:20   I pray this blesses you,  Xoxo Coach Joy    Connect with me here:  Get your Gifts  Check out the “30 Days to Becoming” email: https://www.thejoyfulfitlife.com/39581/30-day-email-landing-page/ Join our FREE FB group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2486808534941816   Take intentional action Join the Joyful Fit Life Community: https://joyful-fit-life.mn.co IG: https://www.instagram.com/joyfulfit_life/ Email: joy@thejoyfulfitlife.com
02 | The sky is not the limit, your mind is—exposing 3 common limiting beliefs that are holding you back from living out your full potential in life.
Mar 4 2024
02 | The sky is not the limit, your mind is—exposing 3 common limiting beliefs that are holding you back from living out your full potential in life.
In this episode we are about to expose some unseen things that are keeping us stuck in life. Things that if we are not careful can stand in the way of our Journey to Becoming and operating out of our God given identity.    I am talking about limiting beliefs. These are beliefs that limit us and are the exact opposite of what God says about us and wants for us. They are also oftentimes rooted in past negative experiences— it’s’ time to think and dig deep! I share the top 3 limiting beliefs that I believe most women deal with, and while it is great to expose and admit that we do deal with them, we must also have the proper tools to help us reframe them- God’s way!    I wish that we could wave a magic wand and never have to deal with them again, but that’s not how it works. My hope is that after listening to this episode, you won’t only be able to relate and not feel isolated when these limiting beliefs do take place, but your reaction time to deal with these “roadblock” will increase, getting you back on your path!    Scriptures referenced:  Psalm 37:4  Ecclesiastes 3:11 Psalm 139:14   I pray this blesses you,  Xoxo Coach Joy    Connect with me here:    Check out the 30 Day email: https://www.thejoyfulfitlife.com/39581/30-day-email-landing-page/ Join our FREE FB group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2486808534941816 Join the Joyful Fit Life Community: https://joyful-fit-life.mn.co IG: https://www.instagram.com/joyfulfit_life/ Email: joy@thejoyfulfitlife.com

Feb 26 2024
01 | The Journey to Becoming- What this means for you as a woman of God and how to practically apply this to your life.
In this first episode I share my heart behind the “Journey to Becoming”, and what I hope to it mean for your life as well. I am taking you back to about 5 years ago when a friend was praying over me and shared that she felt God telling me to slow down. Slowing down was the absolute furthest thing from my mind. I was team “I can do everything all at the same time” and I wanted to run my race at MY pace. Well, that was a recipe for disaster, burn out and overwhelm. Can you relate? Wanting to do all the things, saying yes to everyone and everything that came your way?! God was trying to get a hold of me, but I was too busy-yikes! I wanted to wear all the metaphorical “hats” in life… God began to remind me that the most important title that I would ever have was first being His daughter. I had to make the decision to first operate out of that identity and not look for my worth in all the other titles. This Journey to Becoming is allowing God to pull everything out of us the He has already placed on the inside of us. It is operating out of our God-given identity to become who we are! Through this framework I have personally seen so much healing, freedom & restoration and I know the same can take place for you too. There are four areas that make up our Journey to Becoming & I share what those areas entail. I cannot wait to hear the action that you will begin to take on your own personal Journey to Becoming. This is truly, the start of something new!   I pray this blesses you, Xoxo Coach Joy   Let's connect here:   Get your 30 Day email: https://www.thejoyfulfitlife.com/39581/30-day-email-landing-page/ Join our FB group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2486808534941816 Join the Joyful Fit Life Community: https://joyful-fit-life.mn.co IG: https://www.instagram.com/joyfulfit_life/ Email: joy@thejoyfulfitlife.com
