What do you do when hope feels hard to hold onto?In this episode, I welcome back author and speaker Kirby Kelly to talk about her new book, The Fabric of Hope, and why hope is not just a feeling—but a vital part of healing.We explore how hope impacts emotional, spiritual, and even physical health, and why surrendering to God in the middle of hard seasons can be transformational. Research shows that people with a strong sense of hope are more resilient, experience less anxiety and depression, and often recover more quickly—yet hope can feel hardest to access when life brings loss, illness, or exhaustion.Kirby shares biblical insight and practical steps to help cultivate hope when you feel stuck, discouraged, or at rock bottom. If you’ve been longing for healing, clarity, or renewed strength, this conversation will encourage you to see how God can weave redemption into every season of your story.Chapters:00:00 Podcast Preview01:20 Topic and Guest Introduction05:07 Welcome Back & Introducing The Fabric of Hope06:25 The Journey of Grief and Loss12:04 Understanding Grief Without Guilt15:25 The Power of Lament and Honest Emotions18:02 Coping Mechanisms and True Healing22:00 The Role of Faith in Navigating Pain25:13 Stories of Hope: The Example of Joseph30:42 Practical Ways to Practice Hope Daily35:49 A Word for the Listener Who Feels Hopeless30:26 Conclusion and How to Get Kirby’s BookResources mentioned:The Fabric of Hope: How God Weaves Redemption into Every Season by Kirby KellyGet Your Copy at: fabricofhopebook.comKirby Kelly's Website: kirby-kelly.comEpisode 150: Overcoming Addiction and Habitual Sin: A Journey to Freedom with Kirby KellyConnect with today's guest:Kirby Kelly is an author, speaker, and podcast host based in Dallas, Texas.

How should Christians steward money in the end times without fear, greed, or confusion?In this episode of the Visibly Fit Podcast, I sit down with author and Bible teacher Steve Wohlberg to talk about biblical money stewardship and why financial wisdom matters now more than ever. Many believers struggle with the tension between preparing for the future and trusting God fully—especially when Scripture reminds us that Jesus is coming soon.We unpack how financial stress impacts mental health, physical well-being, and even relationships, and why ignoring money doesn’t make us more spiritual. Steve shares why the Bible calls us to both be ready and occupy until Christ returns, and how wise financial decisions can actually bring greater peace, clarity, and freedom to serve others.If you’ve ever felt uneasy talking about money in church, overwhelmed by finances, or unsure how to plan while keeping your faith first, this conversation will give you practical insight and biblical encouragement you can actually use.Chapters:[00:00] Podcast Preview[01:25] Topic and Guest Introduction[05:05] Steve’s Wake-Up Call About Retirement & Stewardship[09:39] The Interconnection of Health and Finances[12:27] Giving vs. Earning: Why Both Matter Biblically[14:12] How Steve Manages and Learn About Finance[16:40] Two Pillars of Truth[18:05] The Love of Money vs. Wise Stewardship[21:22] End-Times Economics: Buying, Selling & Control[23:10] Why Financial Peace Improves Longevity[25:16] Practical Steps for Financial Health[27:20] Investing Wisely for the Future[30:17] Building Wealth for Kingdom Work[33:45] The 10 Commandments & Financial Wisdom[37:40] Why This Book Is a Missionary Tool[39:30] Conclusion and ResourcesResources mentioned:Get your copy of Be Wise With Your Money in These End Times by Steve W.

What if sustainable weight loss wasn’t about dieting harder—but about restoring your metabolism and learning how to live well for the long term?In this episode of the Visibly Fit Podcast, I sit down with Maxime Sigouin, founder of MAVI Wellness and author of Forever Fit, to unpack what metabolic health really means—and why most people regain the weight they work so hard to lose.Maxime’s story is powerful. After his late partner was diagnosed with breast cancer at just 22 years old, everything changed. Through whole-food, plant-based nutrition and lifestyle shifts, she lived years beyond what doctors predicted. That experience didn’t just shape his beliefs—it ignited his mission to help others avoid preventable chronic disease and reclaim their vitality.We talk about why most diets fail, how metabolism actually works, and why mindset—not motivation—is what keeps people stuck. If you’ve ever felt discouraged by past programs, overwhelmed by conflicting nutrition advice, or frustrated by weight that won’t stay off, this episode is for you.You’ll learn why Maxime calls healthy living a “seatbelt for life,” how reverse dieting protects your metabolism, and why taking care of yourself isn’t selfish—it’s one of the most loving things you can do for the people who depend on you.This conversation will challenge how you think about food, movement, discipline, and aging—and it will leave you encouraged, equipped, and ready to take your next step toward lasting health.Chapters:[00:00] Podcast Preview[01:12] Topic and Guest Introduction[04:10] A Life Driven by Purpose[06:35] Cancer, Nutrition, and a Wake-Up Call[08:52] Why Plant-Based Living Is a “Seatbelt for Life”[09:50] Athletic Performance on a Plant-Based Diet[10:55] Rebranding, Marriage, and MAVI Wellness[11:40] What “Forever Fit” Really Means[14:20] Reverse Dieting Explained[17:10] Why Transformation Starts in the Mind[19:45] Self-Sabotage and Talking Yourself Off the Ledge[20:50] Why Self-Care Is Not Selfish[22:36] The Five-Phase Forever Fit Blueprint[30:20] The Power of Sleep, Hydration, and Daily Movement[36:12] The One Mindset Shift That Changes Everything[38:49] Where To Get Forever Fit Book[39:25] Final Encouragement[41:30] Maxime's Life Verse and TattoosResources mentioned:Forever Fit Book Website: foreverfitbook.comGet your copy on AmazonConnect with today's guest:Maxime Sigouin is an accomplished fitness coach and athlete, and the founder of MAVI Wellness, formerly known as Fit Vegan Coaching.

What if the fear you’ve been carrying is actually pointing you toward your next breakthrough?In this episode of the Visibly Fit Podcast, I sit down with my friend Justin Maina, also known as the Fear Hunter. This conversation was completely unplanned, Spirit-led, and honestly one of my favorites.Justin shares how he went from being deeply insecure and fearful to stepping onto the American Ninja Warrior course—without ever watching the show before he was selected. We talk about what it means to face obstacles you can’t rehearse for, how fear and perfectionism often work together to keep us stuck, and why faith requires movement even when clarity feels incomplete.We also connect the dots between physical health, mindset, and spiritual endurance. When we care for our bodies—the temple that houses the Holy Spirit—we’re able to show up stronger, serve others better, and live out our calling with greater confidence. Justin offers powerful analogies from Ninja Warrior, practical wisdom for breaking limiting beliefs, and encouragement for anyone who feels stuck in “analysis paralysis.”This episode is filled with insight, laughter, faith, and real-life application. And yes… stay until the end. There is a backflip. 😄Chapter:[00:00] Podcast Preview and Introduction[02:34] Why Justin Is Known as “The Fear Hunter”[03:43] From Insecurity to Confidence Through Faith[04:48] How We Justify Fear Without Realizing It[06:24] Fear and Self-Sabotage in Health and Life[07:55] American Ninja Warrior: Facing the Unknown[11:04] Life’s Obstacles and Trusting God[13:18] You Are an Athlete—Even If You Don’t Feel Like One[15:59] Consistency Beats Comfort[18:07] How To Overcome Perfectionism[20:37] Bloom Where You’re Planted[21:07] The Backflip Moment 🌀Connect with today's guest:Website: justinmaina.comInstagram: @justinmainaofficialJustin Maina is a speaker, coach, TV personality, and former American Ninja Warrior competitor who helps people break through fear and limiting beliefs.

Most New Year’s resolutions don’t fail because we don’t care. They fail because we try to change everything at once, without a plan that fits our real life, our real energy, and the season we are actually in.In this episode of the Visibly Fit Podcast, I’m walking you through how to create truly sustainable health goals. These are goals that don’t burn you out by February, but carry you forward all year long. We talk about why 80 percent of resolutions fail, how to use SMART goals effectively, and why small, consistent habits will always outperform extreme motivation.We also explore the powerful connection between movement and mental health. Simple activities like walking, stretching, and strength training can naturally improve focus, reduce anxiety, ease depression, and support better brain function. I share real-life examples, practical ideas you can start today, and encouragement if you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or behind.Be sure to listen all the way through to the end, where you will hear Kim’s testimony, a powerful real-life story from someone inside our Visibly Fit Community who put these principles into action and experienced meaningful, lasting change.Let’s make this a year of habits that stick, health that lasts, and momentum you can actually feel.Chapter:[00:00] Podcast Preview[01:10] Welcome & New Year Resolutions[02:30] Common Health Goals for 2026 (Weight, Strength, Stress)[07:00] Why 80% of Resolutions Fail by February[07:30] How to Set SMART Goals That Work[12:22] Identifying What You Actually Enjoy[13:27] Building Habits That Stick Over Time[16:10] Movement & Mental Health Connection[20:00] Tracking Progress Without Obsession[20:53] Why Community Is Essential for Health[23:33] Visibly Fit Community[24:45] Encouragement for a Healthier 2026[25:19] Kim's Testimony P.S.

Today, I’m unpacking one of the most powerful (and misunderstood) chemicals in your brain: dopamine. We tend to think of it as the “feel-good” neurotransmitter—and it is, but when it’s out of balance, it can quietly drive burnout, anxiety, depression, weight gain, addiction, and chronic stress.I’m sharing this because I’ve been there. Before I gave my life to Christ, I was chasing dopamine in all the wrong ways—shopping, overspending, unhealthy relationships, and quick fixes that only left me more depleted. And I see the same patterns everywhere today.If you’ve been feeling “off,” unmotivated, overwhelmed, or stuck in unhealthy cycles, this episode will help you understand why—and give you hope that balance is possible again.Chapter:[00:00] Podcast Preview[01:14] Introduction to Dopamine and Its Impact[02:38] What Dopamine Really Is (and Why We Chase It)[04:05] The Addictive Cycle of Dopamine Hits[06:17] How Dopamine Depletion Affects Mental Health[10:50] Physical Effects: Hormones, Weight & Immunity[13:15] Natural Ways to Boost Dopamine Levels[15:16] The Role of Lifestyle in Dopamine Balance[19:38] Sugar, Processed Foods & the Crash[20:55] Healthy Hobbies & Goal Setting[22:26] Supplements, Gut Health & Dopamine[23:32] Setting Goals and Achieving Dopamine Satisfaction[25:30] Conclusion and Looking Ahead P.S.

In this episode of The Visibly Fit Podcast, I sit down with JT Tapias, a clinical pastoral counselor, who shares a raw and redemptive story that will stop you in your tracks. JT opens up about growing up in extreme dysfunction, homelessness at 14, early success, deep addiction, and the moment he was ready to end his life… until God intervened in the most unexpected way.But this conversation isn’t just about his testimony. It’s about you.If you’ve ever:Tried every diet and still felt stuckFelt ashamed of your relationship with foodWondered why discipline feels so exhaustingKnown what to do, but couldn’t seem to follow through…this episode will speak straight to your heart.JT and I unpack why so many health struggles are actually rooted in trauma, identity, and spiritual exhaustion—not lack of knowledge. We discuss food as a source of comfort, as a means of coping, and how diet culture fosters shame while Scripture promotes renewal. You’ll hear why healing requires more than surface-level behavior change and how faith-centered wellness brings freedom that actually lasts.We also dive into JT’s “Empty Your Buckets” approach—why simplifying nutrition, renewing the mind, and aligning with your identity in Christ changes everything. This is about stewarding your body as an act of worship, not punishment.Chapter:[00:00] Podcast Preview[01:29] Topic and Guest Introduction[04:04] JT’s Childhood: Trauma, Violence, and Instability[10:10] Professional Soccer Career and Sudden Ending[12:49] From Athlete to Counselor[15:00] Success, Addiction, and Losing His Way[17:38] A Divine Appointment and First Encounter with Jesus[21:05] A Supernatural Moment During Prayer[24:00] Radical Transformation and Leaving Everything Behind[27:23] Returning to Fitness with a Christ-Centered Mission[31:18] Empty Your Bucket Plan and Simplifying Nutrition[35:01] Why People Are Failing on their Health[37:04] Addressing Food Addiction[41:52] Shame, Identity, and Renewal Through Scripture[47:37] Food and Exercise as Acts of Worship[49:25] How the Church Should Be[57:25] Reset, Reboot, Excel SystemResources mentioned:JT Tapias Website: coachjttapias.comInstagram: @coachjttapiasConnect with today's guest:JT Tapias is a faith-centered wellness coach, Clinical Pastoral Counselor, and the founder of the Empty Your Bucket Nutrition Plan.

How often do we try to fix our health without ever addressing what’s happening in our hearts?In today’s episode of the Visibly Fit Podcast, I’m sharing a powerful conversation that weaves together faith, forgiveness, identity, and physical healing—because true wellness is never just about food or fitness.I begin with a heartfelt devotional from Written in Heaven: His Story, Our Lives, a 40-day devotional curated by Tamara Battaglia. This beautiful collection showcases stories of unwavering faith and triumph from today’s leading female voices in Christian music, ministry, film, and literature. Inside the book, I came across a powerful devotion written by June Hunt, and I read her story aloud in this episode.June’s story reminds us that belief isn’t just head knowledge. It’s trust. It’s surrender. And it’s allowing God to redefine who we are—especially when our past, old wounds, or rejection try to tell us otherwise.I also talk openly about how unforgiveness, bitterness, and believing lies about ourselves can quietly impact our emotional and physical health. These inner struggles often show up as exhaustion, inflammation, weight resistance, or chronic symptoms. Healing begins when we start aligning our thoughts, our faith, and our actions with truth.Then you’ll hear from my dear friend Nicole as she shares her Visibly Fit testimony. Nicole didn’t come into the program to lose weight. She came in dealing with severe inflammation and limited mobility. Over seven weeks, she experienced a dramatic reduction in inflammatory markers, gained strength and confidence, nourished her body properly, and learned how to care for herself—without guilt.If you’re feeling stuck, inflamed, exhausted, or ready for something different, this episode is for you. Healing is possible, and it starts from the inside out.Chapters:[00:00] Podcast Preview[01:28] Holiday Hustle & Self-Care Check-In[02:39] Written in Heaven by Tamara Battaglia[03:48] Reading June Hunt’s Devotional: “But I Didn’t Know”[10:53] Forgiveness, Identity & Adoption into God’s Family[12:35] How Lies & Old Wounds Impact Our Health[13:55] Why Healing Is a Journey (Not a Quick Fix)[14:42] Underlying Cause of Sickness Nobody Talks About[19:05] Nicole’s Visibly Fit Testimony Begins[23:02] Movement for Every Ability Level[25:55] Eating More, Nourishing Better & Letting Go of Guilt[30:23] Community, Faith & Sustainable Lifestyle Change[32:40] Invitation to Take Action & Invest in Your HealthResources mentioned:Written in Heaven: His Story, Our Lives (A 40-Day Devotional)Join My Visibly Fit 7-Week Accelerator ProgramEpisode 101: A Discussion on Forgiveness with June HuntP.S.

This week on the Visibly Fit Podcast, we’re talking about something that has the power to shift your mood, reshape your relationships, and even change your physical health… gratitude.And friend, I know, you’ve probably heard the word a hundred times this season. But today, I want us to look at gratitude in a way that really lands in your heart. Not as a cute Thanksgiving idea, but as a God-given tool that can truly transform the way you show up in your life.Inside this episode, I share why gratitude has been such a grounding force in my own life—especially right now with Thanksgiving, family coming together, the ups and downs of relationships, and even the little moments in line at the dollar store that turn into God winks. You’ll hear how gratitude reduces stress, improves sleep, strengthens your immune system, and helps you walk into rooms, even those tricky family gatherings, with more joy and ease.If you’ve been feeling anxious, stretched thin, discouraged, or disconnected… this episode will help you breathe again. Because gratitude doesn’t just change your thoughts, it changes how you experience people, how you experience God, and how you see yourself.Chapters:[00:00] Podcast Preview[01:15] Welcome & Gratitude for Listeners Worldwide[03:09] Why Gratitude Matters More Than Ever[03:50] How Gratitude Reduces Stress & Anxiety[04:45] Choosing Joy Around Family During the Holidays[06:32] Gratitude and Better Sleep: Shut Down the Overthinking[08:20] Evening Reflection: The Examen Practice[09:58] Gratitude as a Motivator for Healthy Choices[11:35] The Ripple Effect: How Gratitude Strengthens Relationships[12:56] Becoming Someone Others Want to Be Around[13:51] Gratitude as a Solution to Loneliness & Disconnection[16:30] The Power of Receiving Gratitude, Not Just Giving It[17:42] Gratitude Jars & Practices to Try This Season[20:13] Dollar Store Story & a God Wink Moment[22:29] Final Encouragement: Let Gratitude Transform Your LifeP.S.

Have you ever walked past something every single day and somehow never noticed it? Yep… me too. In this episode of the Visibly Fit Podcast, we’re talking about healing tools that are hiding in plain sight — the simple, everyday things you probably already have at home that can support your health in powerful ways.I kick things off with a funny story about my husband’s missing LARQ bottle (because who loses something that’s literally right in front of their face?). But that moment reminded me of something deeper: so many of us overlook the most effective healing modalities because they seem too simple or too ordinary. We assume health has to be complicated, expensive, or high-tech, when in reality, God has already provided us with so many tools right where we are.I hope that this conversation opens your eyes a little wider to your home, your backyard, and even your everyday routines. Because healing isn’t always found in something new… sometimes it’s found in what you’ve been walking past all along.Chapters[00:00] Podcast Preview[01:22] Welcome + The “Lost” LARQ Bottle Story[04:15] Hidden in Plain Sight: The Deeper Lesson[06:08] Hot Potato Remedy for Sore Throats[08:00] Saltwater, Lemon, Thyme & Peppermint Gargle[08:42] Pine Needle Tea & Its Powerful Benefits[10:36] Purslane: The Wild Weed That Fuels Energy[12:54] Milk Thistle + Dandelion Root Liver Detox Tea[15:11] Onions in the Socks to Reduce Fever Naturally[17:40] Cabbage Wraps for Joint Pain & Inflammation[19:09] DIY Brain Fog Blend with Pumpkin Seeds & Herbs[21:06] Parsley Tea for UTI Support[22:39] Aloe Vera: Skin Healing & Everyday Uses[23:54] Epsom Salt Baths for Magnesium + Inflammation[25:05] Baking Soda for Heartburn Relief[26:11] Rice Compress for Hot/Cold Therapy[27:10] Towels, Broomsticks & Paper Plates for Home Workouts[30:15] Mason Jars & Pantry Hacks for Healthy Living[34:00] Citrus Peel Aromatherapy[34:56] Final Thoughts: What Are You Overlooking in Your Life?Resources mentioned:FREE Green Drink Recipe: liveimmune.comConnect with me: wendy@wendiepett.com More FREE Resources visit wendiepett.comP.S.
