300: You Are Not Broken — Awaken. Restore. Rise.

WEBVTT
00:02:06.509 --> 00:02:09.150
God was working on getting you to this moment.
00:02:09.549 --> 00:02:12.750
And so you and I were literally just coming down the hall before we came here.
00:02:12.909 --> 00:02:26.990
Like, you have to just enjoy where God has you, even if it sucks or even if it's like wonderful, but you have to sometimes live in the suck and just somehow find enjoyment in it because God's teaching you something.
00:02:31.949 --> 00:02:41.709
If you're tired of doing all the right things and still feeling exhausted, stuck in your body, and disconnected from God, this podcast is for you.
00:02:41.870 --> 00:02:42.430
I'm Dr.
00:02:42.509 --> 00:02:51.629
Tabitha, a triple board certified functional medicine physician, and I help women stop fighting their bodies and start healing them God's way.
00:02:51.870 --> 00:02:53.389
Let's get into it.
00:02:58.829 --> 00:03:00.829
300 episodes ago.
00:03:01.069 --> 00:03:03.469
Wow, I started with one idea.
00:03:03.789 --> 00:03:05.629
Your body isn't broken.
00:03:05.870 --> 00:03:08.030
Today is episode 300.
00:03:08.110 --> 00:03:17.229
And today Ashley and I are pulling back the curtain on the story that has been underneath every single conversation I've had, whether I've named it or not.
00:03:17.550 --> 00:03:20.030
It is you are not broken.
00:03:20.269 --> 00:03:21.389
You can heal.
00:03:21.469 --> 00:03:22.829
You're in the right place.
00:03:23.389 --> 00:03:26.829
Whew! 300 bonkers.
00:03:27.789 --> 00:03:29.789
So it's been six years.
00:03:30.750 --> 00:03:31.469
It's insane.
00:03:31.629 --> 00:03:32.750
It is insane.
00:03:33.629 --> 00:03:35.469
It's really quite humbling.
00:03:35.709 --> 00:03:37.310
And you have come so far.
00:03:37.469 --> 00:03:48.430
If you look back over the last six years, where you were and where you are today, and what you thought six years ago when you started this podcast in your closet during the pandemic, it's really rather wild.
00:03:48.750 --> 00:03:49.310
My word.
00:03:49.469 --> 00:03:50.349
It is wild.
00:03:50.509 --> 00:03:52.909
I think about my first few episodes.
00:03:53.149 --> 00:03:53.469
Dr.
00:03:53.629 --> 00:03:56.189
Anna Kabecka was so kind to me.
00:03:56.269 --> 00:04:01.949
You know, she was already a very influential doctor in the health space.
00:04:02.030 --> 00:04:07.389
And she said yes to being a guest on my little podcast that nobody knew.
00:04:07.629 --> 00:04:10.509
And it was called the functional gynecologist.
00:04:10.670 --> 00:04:11.310
That is crazy.
00:04:11.789 --> 00:04:12.430
That's true.
00:04:12.509 --> 00:04:14.269
We should talk about how many different names it's had.
00:04:14.430 --> 00:04:15.389
I didn't even think of that.
00:04:15.629 --> 00:04:28.670
Yes, because when I started studying functional medicine through the Cleveland Clinic, I realized wait a second, there's a whole different way to tackle gynecology issues from a functional medicine perspective.
00:04:28.829 --> 00:04:31.550
And so I trademarked functional gynecologists.
00:04:31.629 --> 00:04:32.350
That's who I was.
00:04:32.509 --> 00:04:34.430
I was going to heal all the women.
00:04:34.750 --> 00:04:38.029
And God kept putting me through this evolution.
00:04:38.189 --> 00:04:46.670
And then my podcast rebranded to the gutsy gynecologist because the more I studied, I realized like your gut health determines your gyne health.
00:04:46.829 --> 00:04:49.790
And so I was on that mission for a long time.
00:04:49.949 --> 00:04:52.990
Like, let's heal all the guts and understand that.
00:04:53.550 --> 00:05:03.550
And then God pulled me in this crazy direction of fast to faith and really was like, you need to help women nourish their souls.
00:05:03.870 --> 00:05:13.230
And so, you know, you've been with me on this fast of faith journey, but I'm so excited to like just celebrate this.
00:05:14.110 --> 00:05:16.110
What do you even call this?
00:05:16.430 --> 00:05:18.509
I so I was actually thinking about this.
00:05:18.670 --> 00:05:27.870
I feel like as soon as I hit the street that comes to our uh like recording studio, something always kind of like whooshes over me that I need to share.
00:05:28.110 --> 00:05:41.069
And today, what it was was I feel like for 300 episodes, and really up until probably, I would say the last couple of months, like you and I have been through so much since December of 2025.
00:05:41.310 --> 00:05:42.269
This is 2026, right?
00:05:42.350 --> 00:05:42.430
Yeah.
00:05:42.509 --> 00:05:49.790
So December of 2025, between then and New York City with Taylor Welch, all the way until now, we have changed so much.
00:05:49.949 --> 00:05:58.350
And what we have stopped doing, and I feel like what you have also stopped doing, is we're no longer working for God, we're working with him.
00:05:58.670 --> 00:05:59.230
Ooh.
00:05:59.469 --> 00:06:05.069
And because we we have completely stepped back and we are coming off of a six-week break.
00:06:05.230 --> 00:06:07.230
So we've been off for six weeks.
00:06:07.469 --> 00:06:12.029
And when I brought this kind of break to you, there was no panic.
00:06:12.189 --> 00:06:13.709
It was pure peace.
00:06:13.870 --> 00:06:18.509
And in the three years, so I've been working with you full-time for three years, but I've been with you for five.
00:06:18.750 --> 00:06:21.149
We've never taken a break without panic.
00:06:21.310 --> 00:06:24.509
Like even like four days, two days, one day.
00:06:24.750 --> 00:06:28.750
And now we actually take breaks and it's just pure peace.
00:06:28.990 --> 00:06:30.189
And it's so different.
00:06:30.669 --> 00:06:33.709
So that to me is what I wanted to share today was that's what I've seen.
00:06:33.789 --> 00:06:34.509
It's changed.
00:06:35.389 --> 00:06:36.589
That's so good.
00:06:37.149 --> 00:06:38.189
That's so good.
00:06:38.509 --> 00:06:54.990
I think a big part of what I've learned being consistent and diligent for six years and continuing to step up and use my voice after being told for decades to shut up.
00:06:55.149 --> 00:06:55.310
Yeah.
00:06:55.709 --> 00:06:56.669
Through the highs and the lows.
00:06:56.829 --> 00:06:57.789
Through the highs and the lows.
00:06:57.949 --> 00:06:59.069
And you've been honest.
00:06:59.789 --> 00:07:09.629
When I didn't want to show up and I kept doing it, God has honored and blessed my persistence and my endurance.
00:07:09.789 --> 00:07:12.029
He's like, I see you, child.
00:07:12.589 --> 00:07:21.229
And you don't have to perform to get my love and um to work with me in the kingdom.
00:07:21.549 --> 00:07:24.029
But man, I'm gonna bless you for it.
00:07:24.189 --> 00:07:28.189
I was listening on the way here driving, like you.
00:07:28.349 --> 00:07:35.310
I was listening to the parable of the talents, and he was like, if I give you five, you better return to me 10.
00:07:35.549 --> 00:07:39.549
Don't be burying your talents in the ground and not producing.
00:07:39.709 --> 00:07:42.109
That's not what I brought you here for.
00:07:42.349 --> 00:07:49.789
And so I just look back and I say, Wow, look what I've produced with the little he gave me.
00:07:49.870 --> 00:07:51.789
You said I was in my closet.
00:07:51.949 --> 00:07:56.990
I was in my daughter's bedroom during COVID doing, you know, these recordings.
00:07:57.229 --> 00:08:03.069
You guys, I literally started on garage band and I edited my own episodes.
00:08:03.149 --> 00:08:09.629
And I promise you, there was probably 200 ums in my first 50 episodes.
00:08:09.789 --> 00:08:17.549
I would spend hours removing the um, um, um, because I was so afraid and I didn't know how to speak.
00:08:17.629 --> 00:08:19.870
And so it didn't come out fluently.
00:08:20.109 --> 00:08:21.870
But I just kept doing it.
00:08:22.029 --> 00:08:28.509
I just kept thinking, okay, if I practice, I will get better.
00:08:28.750 --> 00:08:44.750
And so this episode, I think, should inspire you that you know God's calling you to do something, and it might be part of your healing, but it might be part of like your job as a mom or in the workplace or with your business.
00:08:45.070 --> 00:08:50.909
And you just need to be reminded that good things don't come easy.
00:08:51.310 --> 00:08:54.990
And we're not called here to live a comfortable, easy life.
00:08:55.149 --> 00:09:03.629
Like, if you read half of the New Testament, there's nothing easy about Paul's life, you know, Stephen proclaiming the gospel, getting stoned to death.
00:09:03.710 --> 00:09:07.310
Like, we are called to do hard stuff and we can do it.
00:09:07.470 --> 00:09:08.029
Yeah.
00:09:08.269 --> 00:09:09.149
Something else, too.
00:09:09.230 --> 00:09:11.310
I think you brought up Annika Becca, which was interesting.
00:09:11.389 --> 00:09:19.070
And I have been um kind of collaging and finding some of your old episodes for our social media manager so she can put something cool together.
00:09:19.230 --> 00:09:22.830
And I um was looking, and so there's a couple things.
00:09:22.990 --> 00:09:36.909
One, I want to talk about your inflammation, because if you go back and look at like episode one, and I also want to talk about um, you've had some amazing guests that maybe were were smaller like you, who are now big, and that's super cool.
00:09:37.070 --> 00:09:44.190
Um, and also just the simple fact that you have rebranded and when you started this, you didn't have faith in it.
00:09:44.350 --> 00:09:46.190
Like you didn't talk about Jesus, and you do.
00:09:46.269 --> 00:09:47.710
That is all we talk about here now.
00:09:47.789 --> 00:09:51.149
And every day we ask the Holy Spirit to join us and be in this episode.
00:09:51.230 --> 00:09:56.029
And so I'd like to talk about those three things before we get into what our episode's about today.
00:09:56.430 --> 00:09:58.909
Yeah, it's absolutely wild.
00:09:59.149 --> 00:10:06.590
I honestly had no idea what the future looked like when I started the functional gynecologist podcast.
00:10:06.750 --> 00:10:16.909
I just knew that I was learning information as a board-certified OBGYN that was helping women heal that I didn't learn in medical school and residency.
00:10:16.990 --> 00:10:18.750
Like I was angry, actually.
00:10:18.909 --> 00:10:19.789
I was on fire.
00:10:19.950 --> 00:10:21.470
I was like fired up.
00:10:21.870 --> 00:10:23.310
People need to know this.
00:10:23.470 --> 00:10:28.269
And so it was me just wanting to share everything I was learning.
00:10:28.669 --> 00:10:34.350
And I was going to church, but I didn't have a relationship with Jesus.
00:10:34.509 --> 00:10:38.350
I wasn't reading the Bible, I wasn't talking to him throughout the day.
00:10:38.429 --> 00:10:42.350
I wasn't asking him to help me make decisions.
00:10:42.509 --> 00:10:47.549
I was just doing my thing and going to church on Sunday and assuming like I'm going to heaven.
00:10:47.789 --> 00:10:54.350
And I believe that is how the majority of Christians are living their lives in this day and age.
00:10:54.509 --> 00:10:56.509
And that is not how we're called to live.
00:10:56.669 --> 00:10:58.350
And they're missing out on so much.
00:10:58.590 --> 00:11:01.870
Oh my gosh, they're missing out on so much goodness.
00:11:02.029 --> 00:11:02.750
That's the truth.
00:11:02.909 --> 00:11:08.350
And that's why I'm so passionate about fast of faith and why we can't shut up about it.
00:11:08.429 --> 00:11:11.629
It's because it has changed our lives.
00:11:11.789 --> 00:11:15.710
But every single day we get testimonies from women.
00:11:15.870 --> 00:11:23.789
Like, not a day goes by where we don't hear some amazing testimonial of like, thank you for fast of faith.
00:11:23.870 --> 00:11:29.710
It has saved my marriage, it has saved my health, it has reversed my diabetes.
00:11:29.870 --> 00:11:32.669
Like, it's so powerful.
00:11:33.629 --> 00:11:34.269
Yeah.
00:11:34.750 --> 00:11:46.669
And just I I just challenge you to go back and look at episode one with Tautha and just look at her inflammation as it has changed because that you can just tell that you've changed as a person and it's just been really cool to watch.
00:11:46.829 --> 00:12:00.590
But I think something else that's like really exciting that we need to talk about is you talked about how Anna came on to your show and she was such a big thing, but you literally went on to Candace Cameron's podcast, and now today you're leaving on tour with her.
00:12:01.309 --> 00:12:02.429
I'm so excited.
00:12:02.590 --> 00:12:03.389
Oh my gosh.
00:12:03.629 --> 00:12:04.269
Yes.
00:12:04.509 --> 00:12:07.389
I'm flying to Pennsylvania today.
00:12:07.710 --> 00:12:10.829
I am going to be besties with Candace.
00:12:11.069 --> 00:12:13.710
Like, I'm just gonna be totally honest.
00:12:13.870 --> 00:12:17.149
I wanted to marry Kirk Cameron for a hot minute back in the 80s.
00:12:17.389 --> 00:12:19.949
He was my boy, growing pains.
00:12:20.110 --> 00:12:22.990
Um, I didn't really care about DJ 10.
00:12:24.269 --> 00:12:26.110
Um that wasn't my jam.
00:12:26.429 --> 00:12:29.230
And God has the best sense of humor.
00:12:29.389 --> 00:12:31.389
He was like, Oh, you want to be a rock star?
00:12:31.549 --> 00:12:44.110
Yeah, you can live on a tour bus, but it's gonna be with a Christian woman going out and preaching the gospel and preaching about how your body like is fully capable of healing and restoration.
00:12:44.350 --> 00:12:49.069
And so I'm really excited and honored for this opportunity.
00:12:49.309 --> 00:12:53.309
I hope that you are all gonna meet me out there.
00:12:53.470 --> 00:12:55.470
We are doing eight cities.
00:12:55.629 --> 00:12:58.429
There are probably are still a few tickets left.
00:12:58.509 --> 00:12:59.069
I don't know.
00:12:59.389 --> 00:13:00.990
A lot of places were sold out.
00:13:01.149 --> 00:13:13.949
Um, but I would love to meet you and hug you and just hear from you and give you a word of encouragement because I promise you, I felt 80 years old in my 20s and early 30s.
00:13:14.029 --> 00:13:15.230
I felt so old.
00:13:15.389 --> 00:13:16.990
I struggled so much.
00:13:17.789 --> 00:13:26.509
And at 51, I feel the healthiest and most energized and fulfilled and peace-filled that I ever have.
00:13:26.829 --> 00:13:28.590
And that's the joy of the Lord.
00:13:28.750 --> 00:13:31.149
And that is what I want for everybody listening.
00:13:31.629 --> 00:13:32.669
All right, I love it.
00:13:32.909 --> 00:13:49.069
So the point of this episode today is to talk about the problem with the word awakening and kind of unpack that a little bit and why women might see what we will be saying going forward changed a little bit.
00:13:49.230 --> 00:13:53.309
So why don't you tell us a little bit about what is the problem with the word awakening?
00:13:53.549 --> 00:13:57.710
Even though it has such a huge place in Fast of Faith.
00:13:58.669 --> 00:13:59.069
Yeah.
00:13:59.309 --> 00:14:06.590
When God downloaded Fast of Faith, the 40-day program to me, he revealed like this is an awakening.
00:14:06.750 --> 00:14:07.949
And that is what I had.
00:14:08.110 --> 00:14:15.149
I was in Punta Cana working on Fast of Faith, my book, um, right after I had back surgery.
00:14:16.029 --> 00:14:24.110
And he was just awakening my mind to the concept like, even though you're the surgeon, you're not the healer.
00:14:24.269 --> 00:14:25.149
I'm the healer.
00:14:25.309 --> 00:14:29.789
I created your body to heal, and you need to help women understand that.
00:14:29.949 --> 00:14:35.710
And so when women come into the 40-day program, there's so much revelation.
00:14:35.949 --> 00:14:37.870
They're like, oh my gosh, I had no idea.
00:14:38.029 --> 00:14:39.149
I feel so much better.
00:14:39.309 --> 00:14:40.269
This is amazing.
00:14:40.350 --> 00:14:41.870
And it's like this awakening.
00:14:42.029 --> 00:14:45.629
Like, wow, I didn't know I could feel so good.
00:14:45.870 --> 00:14:48.269
I didn't know my brain could work so well.
00:14:48.509 --> 00:14:51.549
I didn't know weight loss could be so easy.
00:14:52.829 --> 00:15:01.309
But then you reach this point of like, wait, there's so much more.
00:15:01.710 --> 00:15:03.389
And then you have to get to work.
00:15:03.549 --> 00:15:06.029
And so awakening is really a moment.
00:15:06.350 --> 00:15:14.829
It's this aha, this revelation, and it creates a little bit of momentum, and you start to make things happen.
00:15:15.149 --> 00:15:22.189
But as we know, momentum runs out, the excitement runs out, and then the work has to begin.
00:15:22.429 --> 00:15:26.350
And that part is sometimes where we lose some women.
00:15:26.429 --> 00:15:42.909
And that is where we need to dig down and ask God to start to renew our mind, start to give us a heart of flesh, to change our desires for his desires, and like give up a lot of our worldly addictions and habits and all the things.
00:15:43.069 --> 00:15:48.029
We had this conversation recently with one of our coaching cohorts that we're training.
00:15:48.189 --> 00:15:51.230
Like alcohol, it's not serving you.
00:15:51.470 --> 00:15:53.309
It makes you feel like garbage.
00:15:54.029 --> 00:15:57.230
Why are you continuing to drink it every weekend?
00:15:57.389 --> 00:15:59.149
It's just a bad habit.
00:15:59.389 --> 00:16:04.509
And so, this awakening of like, wait, I don't actually have to drink alcohol every weekend.
00:16:04.669 --> 00:16:08.990
I I can go against everybody else and do something different.
00:16:09.629 --> 00:16:10.029
Yes.
00:16:10.909 --> 00:16:18.189
And when you do that, you start to heal your friends and your community and everybody around you because guess what?
00:16:18.269 --> 00:16:19.389
They're gonna get on board.
00:16:19.470 --> 00:16:20.909
They want to feel better too.
00:16:21.069 --> 00:16:23.309
We don't want to all be miserable together.
00:16:23.549 --> 00:16:24.909
No, it's a domino effect.
00:16:25.069 --> 00:16:32.350
And I what women are saying is that they're getting their life back, and they're getting their life back in that 40 days.
00:16:32.509 --> 00:16:41.389
And the women who honestly stay with us past the 40 days, those are the women who are keeping that momentum and that mojo going.
00:16:41.629 --> 00:16:46.110
It is so important to get through those 40 days and continue.
00:16:46.509 --> 00:16:51.309
Stop stopping, stop making Monday your reset day every single week.
00:16:51.470 --> 00:16:52.669
Like that's not what we do.
00:16:52.829 --> 00:16:57.470
We teach you a lifestyle that is easy to maintain long term.
00:16:57.789 --> 00:16:58.669
That's what this is.
00:16:58.829 --> 00:17:00.110
This is a lifestyle.
00:17:00.429 --> 00:17:06.190
And can I just touch on the fact why we do this Monday morning restart?
00:17:06.590 --> 00:17:20.430
It's because when we quote unquote fail, we fall short, we make a bad choice, we want to throw in the towel because we let shame and guilt overcome us and start talking to us in our brain like, oh, it's not gonna work anyway.
00:17:20.590 --> 00:17:22.029
You can't actually change.
00:17:22.110 --> 00:17:23.710
Like, what are you trying to do?
00:17:23.870 --> 00:17:30.430
And all these terrible negative thoughts start to spiral you downward.
00:17:30.670 --> 00:17:41.309
And so what I have learned by just studying the gospels and how Jesus talks to people, he leads with questions.
00:17:41.549 --> 00:17:42.670
He's curious.
00:17:42.829 --> 00:17:45.069
He's like, Who do you say I am?
00:17:45.309 --> 00:17:46.750
What do you think about this?
00:17:46.910 --> 00:17:48.110
What do you believe?
00:17:48.430 --> 00:18:02.110
And so, if we just came at our bodies with a curious mindset and asked ourselves questions instead of shaming ourselves every Sunday afternoon when we fell short, huh?
00:18:02.269 --> 00:18:03.630
Why did I do that?
00:18:03.870 --> 00:18:06.829
Why do I continue to go back to those choices?
00:18:07.230 --> 00:18:13.150
If we could just be kind to ourselves and be curious, we would shift out.
00:18:13.309 --> 00:18:14.990
We would be able to break those habits.
00:18:15.150 --> 00:18:22.269
And that's honestly what I did so many years ago when I broke up with sugar, is I just got curious.
00:18:22.590 --> 00:18:24.829
What am I actually putting in my mouth?
00:18:24.990 --> 00:18:27.150
And I started to log everything.
00:18:27.309 --> 00:18:28.590
That was wild.
00:18:28.829 --> 00:18:32.829
When I realized, like, man, I gotta log those Hershey kisses.
00:18:32.910 --> 00:18:37.950
I just like popped in my doing things without thinking.
00:18:38.110 --> 00:18:46.509
And so when you start thinking about what you're doing, wow, like holy cow! And then I was I got to make a choice in that moment.
00:18:46.670 --> 00:18:54.670
Wait, I don't actually want to use those calories and those sugar carbohydrates on my log.
00:18:54.750 --> 00:18:56.509
So I'm not gonna eat those.
00:18:56.670 --> 00:19:01.230
And that you're probably just thirsty, you need some electrolytes, like simple things that you didn't know existed.
00:19:02.910 --> 00:19:04.110
I was exhausted.
00:19:04.350 --> 00:19:16.750
And so when I just got curious and I was kind to myself, instead of being feeling guilt around it, that is when I was able to break up with sugar.
00:19:16.910 --> 00:19:18.750
That is when I really had a breakthrough.
00:19:18.829 --> 00:19:24.990
And I was like, wait a second, I can make different choices and therefore get a different outcome.
00:19:25.230 --> 00:19:40.910
And so if you don't hear anything else today, I would invite you to ask yourself questions from a kind, gentle perspective and stop beating yourself up because you're you're never gonna change hating yourself.
00:19:40.990 --> 00:19:42.269
It's just not gonna happen.
00:19:42.509 --> 00:19:48.430
No, so the awakening was kind of like chapter one, and then God has given you several other things.
00:19:48.589 --> 00:19:53.230
So let's talk about the three-act story the awaken, the restore, and the rise.
00:19:53.470 --> 00:19:59.629
Tell us a little bit about what you feel like God's been telling you about Fast of Faith as a whole.
00:20:00.509 --> 00:20:07.629
Yeah, so restoring your body must start with your mind and your spirit.
00:20:07.789 --> 00:20:09.389
They are all interconnected.
00:20:09.549 --> 00:20:11.470
There's no way to separate them.
00:20:11.629 --> 00:20:13.150
You just can't do it.
00:20:13.389 --> 00:20:18.109
When something happens to your body, it does affect your soul and your spirit.
00:20:18.190 --> 00:20:21.629
And to me, your soul is your mind, your will, and your emotions.
00:20:21.789 --> 00:20:29.470
And so sometimes we use words interchangeably, but honestly, what's going on up here is affecting your body.
00:20:29.549 --> 00:20:39.470
And what your body is going through, say it like, you know, just had anesthesia from surgery, or it had too much alcohol, that affects your mind.
00:20:39.549 --> 00:20:41.389
And you, you know it does.
00:20:41.629 --> 00:20:47.710
So we have to um start to acknowledge that, and that is how we restore.
00:20:47.869 --> 00:20:52.190
We have to do the the full body-mind spirit restoration.
00:20:52.430 --> 00:21:00.509
And then the cool part, and this is what we've been working on for the past year and a half, is rise.
00:21:00.829 --> 00:21:09.629
Like once you've awakened, you've learned some stuff, you've gone through the restoration of healing your body.
00:21:09.869 --> 00:21:13.789
Now it's time to like turn it around and pay it forward.
00:21:13.869 --> 00:21:24.829
You need to rise up, help your children, help your sisters, help your community, help your church, help your workplace, all the things.
00:21:24.990 --> 00:21:34.670
And that's how the coaching academy was born because we realize like we don't just heal ourselves and call it good.
00:21:34.910 --> 00:21:37.549
And like, right, we don't do anything with that.
00:21:37.789 --> 00:21:39.950
We're called to like pay it forward.
00:21:40.269 --> 00:21:45.230
So I have loved seeing the evolution of what God has really done.
00:21:45.389 --> 00:22:01.869
And I always say this, you know, in the calls, God reveals things in layers and he does that to protect us and to equip us and to make sure that we continue to make forward progress and move forward.
00:22:02.109 --> 00:22:09.629
Because I promise you, if I knew how hard medical school was, like if I actually knew, I wouldn't have done it.
00:22:09.950 --> 00:22:15.309
So he reveals things at the right time when we're ready to handle it.
00:22:15.470 --> 00:22:18.750
And when you conquer that mountain, then you see the next mountain.
00:22:18.829 --> 00:22:21.069
You don't see all the mountains at the same time, right?
00:22:21.309 --> 00:22:22.029
No, you don't.
00:22:22.109 --> 00:22:25.629
And you do not awaken, restore, and rise all at the same time.
00:22:25.789 --> 00:22:29.069
It's probably gonna take years being realistic.
00:22:29.309 --> 00:22:32.829
And you're also gonna get to that point where you get to the rise.
00:22:32.990 --> 00:22:39.150
Cause I really truly believe just in the last six or seven months, I've gotten to the rise in my own personal life.
00:22:39.389 --> 00:22:46.750
And I look back and all of the awakened time that I just stayed there, and then I restored so many different times.
00:22:47.069 --> 00:22:49.869
I needed to do all that to get to my rise.
00:22:50.029 --> 00:23:15.710
And I was just telling one of our coaches yesterday who did a phenomenal training, and she did her training on sales, and it was something that has been in the work for 10 or 15 years because she was selling something different and learning from that, and brought what she's doing to work with us, and it is so impactful to just look back and realize that God was working on getting you to this moment.
00:23:16.109 --> 00:23:19.309
And so you and I were literally just coming down the hall before we came here.
00:23:19.470 --> 00:23:34.990
Like, you have to just enjoy where God has you, even if it sucks, or even if it's like wonderful, and then you're like, wait, now it sucks again, but you have to sometimes live in the suck and just somehow find enjoyment in it because God's teaching you something.
00:23:35.150 --> 00:23:39.950
And like you said, you said it earlier, and I want you to say it again about like if he's spending time on you.
00:23:40.269 --> 00:23:41.309
Can you say it again?
00:23:41.549 --> 00:23:42.750
What you said to me?
00:23:42.990 --> 00:23:56.509
If God is spending time on you, you should be honored and grateful because he chose you, he thinks you are worthy of being capable to step up and step into it.
00:23:56.670 --> 00:24:01.150
And so I do count it all joy, my trials and tribulations.
00:24:01.470 --> 00:24:02.750
I have gotten to that point.
00:24:02.829 --> 00:24:06.029
I'm like, okay, God, this mountain right here.
00:24:06.829 --> 00:24:13.950
This means there's something amazing at the top of conquering this mountain or this giant we're about to slay.
00:24:14.109 --> 00:24:19.389
That means there's some huge impact that's going to happen on the other side.
00:24:19.549 --> 00:24:21.789
Go and study the life of Joseph.
00:24:22.029 --> 00:24:31.950
He would not have been able to save the world from a famine if he had not been thrown into the pit, if he had not spent all of that time in prison.
00:24:32.269 --> 00:24:36.670
And things we want them to happen so quickly.
00:24:36.829 --> 00:24:40.589
You know, you think about Joseph helped this guy.
00:24:40.910 --> 00:24:43.549
He helped Pharaoh interpret his dream.
00:24:43.710 --> 00:24:48.509
And he was like, Don't forget about me, to the guy who called him in to do the job.
00:24:48.750 --> 00:24:54.430
Two years went by before the guy remembered, hey, he helped with that dream.
00:24:54.589 --> 00:24:56.430
Let's call him out.
00:24:56.589 --> 00:24:59.150
And that is when he stepped into his position.
00:24:59.309 --> 00:25:08.430
And so you have to be patient and trust that the struggle that you're going through is refining you, it is making you better.
00:25:08.589 --> 00:25:13.549
The Bible says God um treats you like the clay.
00:25:13.710 --> 00:25:15.950
He is the potter, he is molding you.
00:25:16.109 --> 00:25:21.710
And so get excited for what he's turning you into, what he's molding you into.
00:25:21.950 --> 00:25:29.389
And I promise you, the more that you get in line with it and go along with it, the better life gets.
00:25:29.629 --> 00:25:29.869
Yeah.
00:25:30.029 --> 00:25:30.349
Okay.
00:25:30.589 --> 00:25:34.750
So the book, The 40-day awakening, is the awakening piece.
00:25:34.990 --> 00:25:37.230
And then we get into the 40-day program.
00:25:37.470 --> 00:25:38.750
That's the restore.
00:25:39.069 --> 00:25:43.549
And so then let's talk a little bit about what is the rise piece of Fast of Faith.
00:25:44.029 --> 00:25:53.549
Yeah, the rise is becoming a certified coach, helping women heal and restore and paying it forward, like we mentioned.
00:25:53.869 --> 00:25:59.230
And it can be the most rewarding thing that you'll ever do.
00:25:59.470 --> 00:26:05.230
And all of a sudden, all the pain and all the struggles that you went through actually are worth something.
00:26:05.549 --> 00:26:07.789
So you didn't go through that in vain.
00:26:07.950 --> 00:26:19.629
You know, women who have struggled with Hashimoto's and been on every medication, or they've had crazy periods and they've done all the procedures and the hysterectomy and the HRT.
00:26:19.710 --> 00:26:24.109
And they're like, why am I going through all this misery or infertility?
00:26:24.269 --> 00:26:27.309
That's a horrible journey that women struggle with.
00:26:27.629 --> 00:26:31.549
And it's like, we it doesn't have to be in vain.
00:26:31.789 --> 00:26:33.150
We can turn it around.
00:26:33.470 --> 00:26:39.309
God turns everything around for our good and his glory if we partner with him, if we allow him.
00:26:39.710 --> 00:26:40.109
Yeah.
00:26:40.349 --> 00:26:46.269
And I think too, it's important to note that you can come to us and you don't, you might have already done your awakening.
00:26:46.349 --> 00:26:48.109
And so maybe you're ready to restore.
00:26:48.269 --> 00:26:52.829
Or maybe, heck, you've already awakened and restored, and now you're like, I'm ready to rise.
00:26:53.069 --> 00:26:59.950
And we have coaches who are ready to rise and make their own business, ready to rise and just help their families, ready to rise and just help themselves better.
00:27:00.190 --> 00:27:11.230
And so the coaching academy isn't just for someone wanting to create a business, it is for every woman who is just literally ready to take the next step and up level in some way.
00:27:11.710 --> 00:27:13.950
We have all walks of life in the coaching academy.
00:27:14.029 --> 00:27:15.470
And I think that's what makes it so special.
00:27:15.789 --> 00:27:17.789
And the sisterhood and the connection.
00:27:18.029 --> 00:27:18.589
Absolutely.
00:27:18.750 --> 00:27:23.389
But I will say if you want this to be a full-time business, it absolutely can.
00:27:23.470 --> 00:27:23.869
Yes.
00:27:24.109 --> 00:27:25.389
It can be lucrative.
00:27:25.710 --> 00:27:30.509
You can uh impact so many people's lives, you could impact your whole church.
00:27:30.670 --> 00:27:38.029
Like things can really change with one simple program and you just stepping into what God has for you.
00:27:38.430 --> 00:27:58.269
Uh I loved the story that you shared in our coach training call about your journey from going, you know, teacher administrator, beach body coach, coming into my world, and then becoming the academy director for fast to faith coaching.
00:27:59.150 --> 00:28:01.789
You had no idea you were gonna be here.
00:28:01.950 --> 00:28:09.470
No, but you continued to trust, even though it was scary and you didn't, you couldn't see the whole picture.
00:28:09.710 --> 00:28:13.549
I mean, realistically, I left education to help you run your medical practice.
00:28:13.789 --> 00:28:15.069
Like that's what I came for.
00:28:15.230 --> 00:28:16.509
I mean that's what you thought.
00:28:17.069 --> 00:28:17.869
That's what I thought.
00:28:18.029 --> 00:28:19.710
And God was like, oh ha ha.
00:28:19.950 --> 00:28:25.950
But actually, I came to help you walk through your divorce, help you launch your book, help you launch fast.
00:28:26.349 --> 00:28:29.789
I mean, it was just all supposed to happen the way it happened.
00:28:29.869 --> 00:28:30.109
Yeah.
00:28:30.269 --> 00:28:33.309
So you look back and you're like, okay, I'm glad you left your job.
00:28:33.470 --> 00:28:36.029
So and I'm glad you trusted me, or I wouldn't be here.
00:28:36.109 --> 00:28:36.269
Yeah.
00:28:36.430 --> 00:28:39.789
And I wasn't like three years ago when I did that, I wasn't ready to sit here.
00:28:39.869 --> 00:28:41.069
And I'm ready to sit here now.
00:28:41.230 --> 00:28:47.869
So I think, yeah, it's just timing and it's it's pulling back those layers of that nice, pretty purple onion you always say.
00:28:47.950 --> 00:28:49.470
So you just have to do it.
00:28:50.029 --> 00:28:50.670
Exactly.
00:28:50.910 --> 00:28:53.549
So we don't need to live in regret.
00:28:53.710 --> 00:28:56.910
We don't need to sit and go shoulda, coulda, woulda.
00:28:57.150 --> 00:28:58.349
Stop shooting on yourself.
00:28:58.509 --> 00:29:00.990
Like that is the worst way to live.
00:29:01.389 --> 00:29:03.789
Stop worrying about what you haven't done yet.
00:29:03.950 --> 00:29:04.829
You weren't ready.
00:29:04.910 --> 00:29:05.950
It wasn't time.
00:29:06.190 --> 00:29:10.269
Trust that God is going to make the way when it's time.
00:29:10.430 --> 00:29:15.710
So if you're feeling the nudge now, you're like, oh my gosh, I totally needed to hear this today.
00:29:16.029 --> 00:29:17.389
Now it's time.
00:29:17.549 --> 00:29:22.190
I'm not saying you're gonna feel ready because trust me, you never feel ready.
00:29:22.349 --> 00:29:26.910
I didn't feel ready when I recorded my first functional gynecologist podcast.
00:29:27.069 --> 00:29:34.589
I didn't feel ready after six hours of editing on Garage Band and like publishing that out to the world.
00:29:34.670 --> 00:29:36.990
I like I was scared to death.
00:29:37.150 --> 00:29:43.069
I was like, okay, all my conventional medicine colleagues are gonna disown me for saying this stuff.
00:29:43.230 --> 00:29:47.069
They're gonna be like, she's she's lost it.
00:29:47.389 --> 00:29:51.230
And then are they gonna accept me in the health and wellness space?
00:29:51.309 --> 00:29:52.269
Because who am I?
00:29:52.349 --> 00:29:56.670
I'm a nobody, but God, but God.
00:29:56.829 --> 00:30:04.990
I just I decided to ignore all the chatter in my head and trust, even though I don't feel ready, I'm being called to do it.
00:30:05.069 --> 00:30:06.589
So let me go and do it.
00:30:06.750 --> 00:30:10.750
And here I am, celebrating my 300th episode.
00:30:11.150 --> 00:30:12.670
Absolutely amazing.
00:30:12.990 --> 00:30:19.869
God is so good because I was faithful, because I just showed up and I took messy action.
00:30:20.029 --> 00:30:22.430
So that might be what you need to hear today.
00:30:22.670 --> 00:30:24.990
You might need to take some messy action.
00:30:25.230 --> 00:30:34.509
And if you're being called to coaching, to helping women, to healing yourself and to paying it forward, we want to be your mentors.
00:30:34.990 --> 00:30:36.990
This is our life's work.
00:30:37.230 --> 00:30:42.670
This is what we've been called to do, and our sisterhood community is like no other.
00:30:43.230 --> 00:30:46.349
It is excellent with an exclamation point.
00:30:46.589 --> 00:30:48.829
Like our group is on fire.
00:30:48.910 --> 00:30:51.150
Our sisterhood calls every week.
00:30:51.389 --> 00:30:53.629
They just they leave me in awe.
00:30:53.950 --> 00:30:58.109
And if you're supposed to be in there, I want to make that happen for you.
00:30:58.589 --> 00:31:02.589
And everything that we've done together, we've never actually been ready to do it.
00:31:02.910 --> 00:31:05.470
We just do it because it's what God's telling us to do.
00:31:05.710 --> 00:31:07.389
And then everything falls into place.
00:31:07.549 --> 00:31:08.349
Is it always easy?
00:31:08.509 --> 00:31:09.150
Heck no.
00:31:09.710 --> 00:31:17.069
But we do it because I feel like if you if we've waited until we were ready, we would literally just now be launching everything.
00:31:17.309 --> 00:31:18.269
Like just today.
00:31:18.509 --> 00:31:19.309
I'm serious.
00:31:19.470 --> 00:31:22.910
Because we really do feel like I actually feel ready for everything.
00:31:23.150 --> 00:31:27.950
And uh we've it now we're ready to continue on to do other crazy stuff.
00:31:28.029 --> 00:31:30.109
And so I think it's cool to kind of see.
00:31:30.190 --> 00:31:40.190
But I I also want to talk about the supplements really quick because through all this, this kind of changes the way we look at those supplements and and how we put them into these three big ideas.
00:31:40.750 --> 00:31:42.190
Yeah, absolutely.
00:31:42.430 --> 00:31:46.430
Sub you cannot supplement your way to health, you know.
00:31:46.670 --> 00:31:54.910
Supplements are to help you restore, but they don't replace changing your behaviors, changing your diet.
00:31:55.150 --> 00:31:58.829
They are a companion, they are necessary.
00:31:59.470 --> 00:32:12.829
Like God created our body very complex, and we actually require thiamine and riboflavin and vitamin D3 and all of these things for our cells to do their functions.
00:32:13.549 --> 00:32:21.950
But if you're eating McDonald's every day and living on Mountain Dew, those supplements are going to be null and void.
00:32:22.109 --> 00:32:22.750
So yeah.
00:32:22.990 --> 00:32:27.549
So the one supplement that I would say we recommend most often is hormone tame.
00:32:27.629 --> 00:32:30.269
So every woman should be on hormone tame.
00:32:31.230 --> 00:32:36.349
Real quick, I just want to interrupt this conversation for something super important.
00:32:37.309 --> 00:32:47.549
Even though we need to take care of ourselves spiritually, emotionally, and physically, we do have to take care of ourselves at a cellular level.
00:32:47.789 --> 00:32:51.069
And that is why I have my Fast to Face supplement line.
00:32:51.150 --> 00:32:59.309
So let's just take a minute to hear about something that might be the game changer that you need in this season.
00:32:59.789 --> 00:33:03.950
We really need to up-level how we're taking care of our temple.
00:33:04.029 --> 00:33:08.109
I used to treat mine like a garbage can, I will just be honest.
00:33:08.430 --> 00:33:10.990
And I'm not okay with that anymore.
00:33:11.230 --> 00:33:22.430
So this is one of the most important things to me is that I'm taking high-quality supplements that are actually doing what they say they're doing, and I'm getting my money's worth.
00:33:22.509 --> 00:33:26.990
And I'm not making my body worse by putting the wrong stuff in it.
00:33:27.069 --> 00:33:36.589
So let's talk about Hormone Tame Essential Multivitamin, because even though it gives you all the vitamins and minerals you need, there's extra goodness in there, isn't there?
00:33:36.670 --> 00:33:38.670
I think you have a bottle sitting next to you.
00:33:39.309 --> 00:33:40.750
Tell us about Hormone Tame.
00:33:40.990 --> 00:33:43.309
Hormone Tame is five products in one.
00:33:43.470 --> 00:33:52.190
Um, if you listen to the the other episode, one of the things that we talked about is oftentimes, you know, women are just people were taking a lot of supplements.
00:33:52.509 --> 00:34:04.349
And the nice thing about a lot of the um supplements that we have here at Fast of Faith is that they're they're just so consolidated, or you could take this and you are basically taking five products.
00:34:04.589 --> 00:34:07.950
So, yes, this is gonna be a multivitamin, but there is so much more.
00:34:08.030 --> 00:34:11.789
We actually kind of refer to it as a multivitamin on um steroids.
00:34:12.030 --> 00:34:15.789
One of the key things that this is gonna be helping is your mitochondria.
00:34:16.110 --> 00:34:22.910
All you need to know is that they are responsible for so many systems and processes in your body.
00:34:23.070 --> 00:34:29.630
The reason that we need supplements is because we're just supplementing areas that we just can't really kind of get with our food.
00:34:29.710 --> 00:34:31.389
So we're filling in those gaps.
00:34:31.550 --> 00:34:36.990
And so hormone tame is inviting the body to just fill in all of those gaps.
00:34:37.150 --> 00:34:38.430
So you gotta fill those gaps.
00:34:38.510 --> 00:34:41.150
And hormone tame it will help to do that.
00:34:43.070 --> 00:34:47.150
Okay, so let's end with a scripture for women to meditate on.
00:34:47.309 --> 00:34:52.110
But I do want to mention what we're working on because, ladies, this is for you.
00:34:52.349 --> 00:34:55.070
Yes, we are gonna launch a one-day event.
00:34:55.230 --> 00:34:56.750
This will be our second time doing it.
00:34:56.990 --> 00:34:58.910
It was so good when we did it in August.
00:34:58.990 --> 00:35:00.430
We're going to do it again.
00:35:00.590 --> 00:35:05.550
So we are going to do a one-day virtual event, and it is called Lay It Down.
00:35:05.630 --> 00:35:08.110
Why don't you tell them a little bit about what's going to happen at Lay It Down?
00:35:08.349 --> 00:35:16.590
Yeah, it's a three-hour virtual event where we are going to not just pour information into your brains.
00:35:16.670 --> 00:35:18.269
That's called infobesity.
00:35:18.430 --> 00:35:20.030
You're fat with information.
00:35:20.190 --> 00:35:21.950
I need some transformation.
00:35:22.190 --> 00:35:37.470
So we are going to be doing interactive activities to really get at what is going on in your mind, what is driving your decisions and behaviors and choices and all of those things, because that is the only way that you can change.
00:35:37.630 --> 00:35:41.550
So we're going to renew your mind as a group.
00:35:41.710 --> 00:35:43.630
It is so powerful.
00:35:44.030 --> 00:35:46.829
And then you can see the path forward.
00:35:46.990 --> 00:35:52.990
I'm going to help you get your visions because weight loss should be easy.
00:35:53.309 --> 00:36:02.510
Healing should be something that you can activate and step into, but we're trying to do it the world's way, and we got to do it God's way.
00:36:02.670 --> 00:36:04.190
So we're going to lay it down together.
00:36:04.349 --> 00:36:10.030
So please join us and then go meditate on Joel 225 today.
00:36:10.269 --> 00:36:17.070
He says, I will restore you the years that you lost from the swarming locusts.
00:36:17.309 --> 00:36:19.070
So nobody wants that.
00:36:19.309 --> 00:36:22.110
Like we mentioned, you're going to have trouble.
00:36:22.190 --> 00:36:24.190
You're going to have struggle in this life.
00:36:24.349 --> 00:36:26.590
But God is a God of restoration.
00:36:26.750 --> 00:36:28.030
He's a redeeming God.
00:36:28.269 --> 00:36:34.190
He wants to restore your years that you lost during all of that struggle.
00:36:34.349 --> 00:36:35.789
And he will make it better.
00:36:36.030 --> 00:36:37.469
So it's amazing.
00:36:37.710 --> 00:36:40.750
If that is something that you want, we are here for you.
00:36:40.989 --> 00:36:41.949
