Women share how Fast to Faith coaching transformed their health and faith. Speaker B discovered the program through Instagram, added daily Lectio Divina practice, and found physical relief and spiritual reconnection. Speaker C broke a lifelong sugar addiction after failing at Suzanne Somers, Weight Watchers, and Whole30.
First and foremost, I always ask women to share how they found me because I truly believe God brings women together on purpose for a purpose. And if somebody's listening right now, it might be because they're supposed to hear from you and not even from me. So how did you find me? How did we get connected?
Well, I actually found you through an ex-sister-in-law, my brother-in-law's ex-wife. She was on Instagram posting. She was going through the coaching program at the time, and I had been doing workouts, working out every day, but still just feeling miserable. I was uncomfortable. I was inflamed, just so discouraged getting up early to work out. Thought I was eating healthy at the time. I wasn't, I wasn't doing what I should have been doing. Now I know that, but I just felt so lost and frustrated. And then when I saw her posts, I was curious. I just, I just cried. My face was so inflamed. So as I started to make the changes and, you know, probably the biggest shift for me was at that time, I didn't really have a relationship with God. I taught Sunday school. I'd been very involved in my church for years and we kind of stepped away from that a bit. And so I was kind of lost spiritually too, I think. And so a big part of that shift was finding you and adding in the morning Lectio Divina. That's where I I think I felt the biggest change. And then from there, adding in the food changes and the working out and listening to my body with working out. I think I was working out too hard for what I should have been or working out the wrong way. And so now knowing that, so now feeling that shift in my body and knowing when to rest.
Dr. Tabatha Barber, I have read every nutritional book. I have tried every diet and they would all work. When I was 20 years old, we moved to Virginia from West Virginia and I gained 65 pounds over 2 years, and it took me a long time to lose it. And I would do programs for a while. I did Suzanne Somers, and I had, you know, success with that. But then after a while, my sugar addiction would take over, and I didn't gain all the weight back, but I gained a little. I did Weight Watchers. I failed miserably at Weight Watchers. I've done Whole30, and I was able to do that for a while and lost some weight, but my sugar addiction would kick back in again. So this is the first time I've been able to beat my sugar addiction and I feel like I'm winning and I have control.
That is so powerful.
I had an amazing meeting with my coach for the first time, Bridget. She's a rock star. I'm so excited. She gave me some really great insight as to how to get started. Already, like, setting the stage and already taking first steps and it feels amazing. And I'm just so, so grateful for Bridget and for all of you and still re-listening to the summit. It's just awesome. I'm just so grateful.
