My 2025 Recap

from The Refinery Movement Podcast · host AJ Amrhein

All the tea from 2025 ☕️Not gonna lie… it was hard. Like really hard.But it was also my favorite year yet.This episode is different from my usual faith + fitness teaching episodes.From wrestling for WWE and making history on a brand-new show…to tearing my knee on TV mid–main event and knowing, in my gut, that it was probably my last match.From spending most of my life wrapped up in the identity of “athlete”…to being released, rebuilding from scratch, grieving the loss of my Meemaw, and stepping into entrepreneurship with nothing but obedience and some freakin grit.This episode is a raw recap of a year that stretched my faith, stripped away comfort, and refined me in ways I didn’t see coming.A year full of great joy- my fav year so far tbh- but also a year with injury, fear, imposter syndrome, criticism, loss — and learning how to trust God when the future felt completely foggy.It’s also the story of how The Refinery Movement was born — not out of ambition, but out of surrender.Out of choosing the harder calling instead of the easier route. Totally retiring from wrestling and turning down tempting offers. Out of learning to wear every hat in my small business, not just coach- but Im a sales person, marketer, social media manager, hiring manager, app designer, ALL OF IT, grow through discomfort, and keep saying “yes” even when I didn’t feel ready.The narrow road is not linear but trust me it is so much fun and so worth it. Just keep swimming, LOL!😜If you’re in a season of uncertainty…If God is asking you to loosen your grip on an identity, a dream, or a version of life you thought you’d have…If you feel like you’re being held in the fire just long enough to actually change you —This episode is for you.2025 refined me.And I wouldn’t trade it for anything. These experiences have made me the woman I am today- the woman behind The Refinery Movement.If you’re a woman who wants faith-based, high-touch coaching — applications for coaching through The Refinery Movement are open.I am - CERTIFIED STRENGTH COACH- CERTIFIED NUTRITION COACH-CERTIFIED BEHAVIOR SPECIALIST- FORMER D1 & PRO ATHLETEbut above all, I AM A CHILD OF GOD with a heart on fire to help women in their fitness journeys. This isn’t surface-level motivation. It’s real discipleship, structure, and accountability for women ready to be refined.Apply through the link in my bio or visit therefinerymovement.com
