Last, check out my FREE 30-Day training program or book a FREE transformation session with me if you are serious, not just curious about reaching your health and fitness goals. Before we jump into the nitty-gritty, let's acknowledge that embarking on a healthy lifestyle is not something you complete in a few weeks or days – it's a lifelong commitment to your well-being. And at the heart of this commitment lies the power of your mindset. Changing your body, whether it is losing fat or gaining muscle, is 20% exercise, 80% nutrition and 100% mindset. 99% of the time, people start on a diet or exercise plan and completely overlook or simply don’t know how to take the first steps to get their mind in the game. So, today, we are digging into the following strategies:

1. Clarify your intentions.

2. Set clear, specific goals.

3. Commit

Weight loss or body transformation is a process of internal change more than it is a process of external change. Most of the programs out there focus solely on the habits or strategies to change the external. Starting with the internal is the key to succeeding and sustaining a healthy lifestyle. I have created an amazing bundle designed to help you with this critical first step in starting your journey. It is called Clarify, Commit, Crush it! It is worth over $1,200 and I am offering it for $87. Use code FFJ87 and get it for $30 off, just for listening to today’s episode!  


Hosted by Rachelle Renee, Faith Fitness Joy-Mind, Body, and Soul Health and Healing is a conversation about moving beyond the exhausting cycle of diets and unrealistic expectations. This podcast explores a more integrated approach, where feeling strong and vibrant isn't about punishment but about nurturing every part of yourself. Rachelle guides discussions that weave together practical fitness, mindful nutrition, and a deeper sense of spiritual and emotional wellness. You'll hear honest conversations about breaking free from food obsession, finding movement that brings joy instead of dread, and finally making your own well-being a sustainable priority. The aim is to build a foundation where health feels like a compassionate act, not a chore, allowing you to show up fully in your own life and for the people you love. Tune in for a supportive resource that redefines what it means to be truly healthy, addressing the mind, body, and soul as connected parts of a whole. Each episode of this podcast offers relatable stories and actionable perspectives, focusing on long-term healing rather than quick fixes. It’s a space to explore how faith-in whatever form that takes for you-fitness, and genuine joy can intersect to create a resilient and loving relationship with yourself.
