Today's episode was recorded when my friend, Laura Lindahl was 8 months pregnant with her son. Her son, Boaz was born in July and is now 3 1/2 old! This episode was so helpful to me when I was recording it and again while I was editing it to remind me of how God truly loves His creation, by the way that is all of us. She talks about her journey with being dissatisfied with her body after someone had a negative comment about it to her. She talked about how she began to train other people after she graduated with her degree in Exercise Physiology and started hearing her clients putting conditions on their bodies, just as she was doing to herself. That is when she realized something needed to change. She learned how to find satisfaction in God alone and started to view working out and taking care of her body from a place of contentment instead of not looking for contentment. She now runs an online group called True Strength Collective to help women discover this as well. I pray this will help you today as you walk your own journey!
Bio:
Laura is a Nationally Certified Exercise Physiologist, Eat to Perform Nutrition Coach, wife, dog mom, Enneagram Three, and avid lover of Jesus. After graduating with a degree in Exercise Science and spending years in the fitness industry, she started to realize all the negative effects that fitness can have on a woman’s view of her body and her faith. She saw bodies shamed, relationships hurt, and faith neglected all in the name of being fit. That’s when Laura founded the True Strength Collective. The True Strength Method guides women on a journey to identify what limiting beliefs they have about their body and faith so they can finally find freedom from body pressures, knowledge to confidently build strength, and unshakable faith. Laura’s clients train smarter not harder, find peace in their true identity, and best of all can see their body in the mirror with confidence.
