I’ve shared before that when I began this podcast, I intended to have a faith-filled, grace-based focus on our eating and movement. That was it. Honestly that’s all I knew. But as the saying goes, I didn’t know what I didn’t know. As this show has progressed and I’ve had extended conversations with counselors, faith leaders, and more, I realized our mind and emotions are so intricately connected to the rest of our body and these impact our eating and movement. My conversation with Elisabeth Kri...

Today marks the 200th episode of the Graced Health podcast. I can’t believe it and can honestly say it overflows my soul. As I was thinking about how I wanted to celebrate 200 episodes, I considered doing several things. But what seemed the most authentic to who I am and what I love was to hand the mic over.
