Inspire with Lauren Draper

We are moving into the fall here in the south and it can be some of the hardest months for people to stay on track with their fitness goals. I have often found my self over indulging and setting myself back many times before and then kicking myself for not utilizing those months to get closer to my goals. On this week's episode, I give you some of my tips to help enjoy the cozy "ber" months with family time and holiday meals without creating a snowball of unhealthy habits and over indulging.

I share with you how I personally hear from God and how He gives us divine tests to shape our character, strengthen our faith, and guide us towards His greater purpose.

In today's episode, we will explore the fruits of the Spirit and how they guide us toward living with purpose and joy.

Whether it's tackling a workout, managing household chores, or navigating work responsibilities, learn how a simple shift in mindset can make all the difference. Tune in for an uplifting conversation on gratitude, perspective, and making the most out of every moment!

Join me as I explore the synergy between mental resilience and spiritual strength, and how embracing these elements together can lead to a more fulfilling, faith-driven life.

Feeling overwhelmed and exhausted? Usually when I reach this point I've gone off the path of peace and God never fails to convict me and pick me right up and place me back where He needs me. Trying to do things in our own strength for extended periods of time eventually leads us to needing to surrender and come back to our center, our heart. Time to clean house.

In this episode, I teach you a simple exercise and tools I use to help reduce ongoing stress in every day life. Get ready to teach your brain a new way of thinking and re-wire it for a more peaceful and joy filled day!
