Welcome to Nourished in Grace
Why I Believe Wellness Begins with the Heart
If you're anything like me, you've spent a good portion of your life trying to “get it all right.”
Eat the right foods. Think the right thoughts. Be the best version of yourself.
But somewhere along the way, I realized that wellness — real, sustainable, soul-deep wellness — isn’t just about doing more or being better. It’s about being whole.
A Bit of My Story
I was just 10 when I started my first diet.
Not because I wanted to be healthy — but because I already believed something was wrong with me. I’d picked up on the teasing, the quiet comments, the pressure to be smaller. Even though I knew about Jesus, I still thought my worth came from my appearance.
That one diet turned into years of counting, restricting, comparing — trying to shrink my body as an attempt to silence the shame I felt. I was exhausted, both physically and emotionally. At one point, my health completely tanked — my hormones, thyroid, even my kidneys were affected. And still, I didn’t know how to stop.
Eventually, God met me in that mess. Not with shame, but with truth.
He reminded me that my body isn’t a project to fix — it’s a temple to care for. My worth was never meant to be earned. It was already given.
That shift changed everything. I began moving and eating not to punish my body, but to support it. I started seeing health as a way to live fully — to show up for the life God was calling me to.
And that’s why I started Nourished in Grace — to help other women break free from the pressure to perform and come back to what really matters: wholeness, peace, and identity rooted in Christ.
What is Nourished by Grace?
It’s more than a blog — it’s a way of life.
Here, I approach health through a three-dimensional lens:
Physical – Honoring our bodies through nourishing food, joyful movement, and rest
Mental – Supporting our minds through emotional awareness and truth-based tools
Spiritual – Rooting it all in God’s Word and presence
This space exists to help you break free from the world’s standards and embrace the wellness God has for you — one that is filled with peace, purpose, and grace.
You’re Welcome Here
Whether you're here to learn how to better care for your body, find encouragement for your mind, or anchor your spirit in Truth — I’m so glad you’ve found your way here.
Let’s walk this journey together.
Nourished, renewed, and rooted in grace.
What Is Healthy Anyways?
What Does It Really Mean to Be Healthy?
In today’s world, “health” is often reduced to a number on a scale, the size of our jeans, or how disciplined we appear on the outside. We’re bombarded with messages telling us to hustle harder, eat cleaner, look thinner, and do more.
But what if true health isn’t about appearance at all?
What if it’s not about shrinking, achieving, or earning anything—but about becoming more available for what really matters?
The Tension We All Feel
If you’ve ever struggled to care for your body without becoming consumed by it...
If you’ve ever felt caught between discipline and obsession...
If you’ve ever wondered how to pursue wellness without turning it into an idol...
You’re not alone.
As Christians, we often feel stuck in the tension between honoring our physical bodies and keeping our hearts centered on God. We want to steward what we’ve been given—but not at the cost of our peace, identity, or purpose.
And that’s the heart behind this space—and the book I’m writing.
Health Through a Faith-Filled Lens
Scripture tells us our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19–20). That doesn’t mean we must obsess over them. It means we honor them. We care for them not to impress others, but to be ready—to show up for the work God has given us to do.
We need to eat. We need to move. We need rest. But we also need perspective.
True health is three-dimensional:
Mental – Are we renewing our minds in truth?
Physical – Are we treating our bodies with respect, not punishment?
Spiritual – Are we staying connected to our Source?
When health becomes about control, guilt, or performance, we lose the joy of living freely. But when it’s rooted in grace, everything changes.
Let’s Unlearn & Rediscover—Together
This blog is an invitation:
To unlearn the world’s definition of beauty, discipline, and worth.
To explore what holistic health looks like when Christ is at the center.
To ask the hard questions about how we treat our bodies—and why.
To trade shame for stewardship, anxiety for peace, and striving for rest.
And above all, it’s a reminder:
When the Lord looks at you, He doesn’t see someone “in progress” or “not enough.”
He sees someone already beautiful. Already worthy. Already loved.
