Ahhhh... big sigh of relief, mama? The holidays are over! Unfortunately, the finale of the holiday's often leaves us moms with a sense of fatigue and burnout and the craziness of the Christmas season catches up to us in the weeks following the "big day". THEN, there is SO much pressure to get back into routine AND start on those New Year's resolutions.    It's all just... too much. Often we end up sitting on the couch in front of the TV, eating holiday leftovers and "vegging out". We've earned it, right? This is what rest looks like... isn't it?   The world encourages rest that is not truly restful, and leaves us feeling more drained and less energized than we were before.    What if I told you there is a better way? Rest is a command from God. We are designed for rest, and so there is a way to rest that leads to true renewal AND communion with Him.    In this episode, I am so excited to share 3 scriptures that emphasize God's design for rest and how to implement them into your life.    As you learn what the word says and live it out in your life, you will experience that renewed strength and faithfulness in the small habits God lays out before you. Stewardship is not about striving, it's about surrendering. And rest is an amazing tool God uses to teach us, that despite our best efforts, He is sovereign above all of it.    I pray this blesses you, mama.    I would love to hear from you! 📫 Contact Me: [email protected]

Do you want to feel like yourself again, but have no idea where to start? Is making time to prioritize yourself a struggle? Are you tired of feeling like exercise is just another to-do on your list? Wondering what it would be like to feel strong and confident in the body God gave you?   I am so glad you’re here, mama. I’m Michelle Drake, daughter of the Kind, wife, toddler mom, Pilates instructor and your new fave health habits coach. For 15 years I struggled to find a health routine that brought freedom instead of pressure.    Despite being a leader in the fitness industry, I often approached health with an unsustainable mindset. I was either starving myself or mindlessly overeating; going to the gym for hours at a time or going days without walking further than the fridge. The result was staying in a body that was weighing me down and preventing me from becoming all God had created me to be.   As God worked on my heart, I finally realized that if I wanted to feel my best, show up fully for my family and live the life God has called me to, I would need to move beyond extremes and towards stewardship. I needed to build sustainable habits that would help me care for the body God gave me.   God helped me to use the years of nutrition and fitness knowledge I had accumulated to create a plan that prioritizes healthy habits in the midst of a busy schedule. He taught me that discipline isn’t punishment, it’s discipleship. This approach gives me confidence that I am stewarding my body well, so that I have the energy to be the wife and mother God has created me to be. This is what I am going to share with you in this podcast!   If you are ready to make sustainable changes to your health habits  that fit in with busy seasons of motherhood…    To approach wellness as an act of worship-   To feel more energized, enjoy exercise again, and step into the healthiest version of yourself,  this podcast is for you!   It’s time to move your body and glorify God with your health, mama!
