💜 Faithfully Fit Through Advent | Episode 5: Gratitude, Growth and Renewal! 


In this final episode of the Advent & Christmas series, we’re ending the year with a heart full of gratitude, growth, and renewal.

Together we’ll:

✨ Look back with thankfulness
✨ Recognize the spiritual growth God brought this year
✨ Release old weight and embrace spiritual renewal
✨ Tie in the hope, love, joy, and peace of the Advent season
✨ Prepare our hearts for the fresh start ahead

Take a deep breath, pause, and reflect with me as we close this year with intention and faith.

Bible verses:

1 Thessalonians 5:16
Philippians 1:6
Romans 12:2

Fit and Fueled by Faith is a faith and wellness podcast for women over 40 who want to feel strong, energized, and rooted in faith. Hosted by Stacey Ziegler, NASM-CPT, Certified Holistic Health and Life Coach.

Midlife brings its own unique set of questions, especially about health and purpose. Fit and Fueled by Faith | Faith & Wellness for Women 40+ sits right in that space, offering conversations that go far beyond diet tips or workout routines. Host Stacey Ziegler brings her perspective as a certified personal trainer and holistic health coach, but more importantly, she approaches wellness as an integrated journey. Here, physical strength and sustainable habits are discussed alongside spiritual nourishment, with the understanding that caring for your body is also a way of honoring your faith. This podcast recognizes that for women navigating this season, energy, strength, and a sense of rootedness are deeply connected goals. You’ll hear practical, grace-filled discussions on creating routines that actually last, managing the shifts that come with age, and cultivating a resilient mindset. Stacey’s belief that true strength is sourced from a foundation in Christ informs each episode, making this a unique blend of tangible advice and spiritual encouragement. It’s for any woman who is tired of quick fixes and is looking for a compassionate, faith-centered companion to walk with her toward holistic well-being. Tune in for honest talks that address the whole self-body, mind, and soul-in a way that feels both supportive and actionable.
