What if the key to better physical health isn’t more discipline, more workouts, or another restrictive plan, but strengthening your faith muscle?

In this highly motivating episode, I sit down with Ashley Perry Lambert, a faith-based health coach who helps women pursue sustainable wellness by working within the lives they already have. Instead of asking women to add more to their routines, Ashley teaches them how to identify the root of their excuses, realign their habits with their faith, and achieve health through systems that already exist in their daily schedules.

Through powerful coaching examples, Ashley demonstrates how faith can become the foundation for physical health without overwhelm, guilt, or burnout. This conversation is especially encouraging for women who feel stuck in the cycle of starting over, or who believe wellness requires more time, energy, or perfection than they can give.

This episode is a reminder that lasting health doesn’t come from trying harder. It comes from living more intentionally.

In This Episode, We Discuss:

• What it means to build your faith muscle and how it directly impacts physical health

• Why most women’s wellness plans fail and what to do instead

• How to identify the real root behind common health excuses

• Using systems and routines you already have to support sustainable wellness

• Why adding more rules, workouts, or plans often backfires

• How faith-based coaching helps women stop starting over

• A powerful role-play example showing Ashley’s coaching approach in real time

• Encouragement for women who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or discouraged in their health journey

Who This Episode Is For:

• Women who want better physical health without adding more to their plates

• Christian women seeking a faith-centered approach to wellness

• Moms who feel overwhelmed by traditional diet and fitness culture

• Anyone tired of “all-or-nothing” health thinking

• Women who want sustainable habits that actually fit real life

Key Takeaway:

Sustainable wellness isn’t about doing more. It’s about aligning what you’re already doing with your values, your faith, and the life God has placed in front of you.

What happens when motherhood unfolds thousands of miles from home without your village, your culture, or your familiar rhythms of life?

In this honest, globally rich conversation, I sit down with Rosamaria Mancini, an Italian-American mother, author, and expat who shares her journey from growing up in New York to building a life across Europe. In a life of moving to Rome for work, marrying her Italian husband, and later raising two children in Germany, Rosamaria found herself wrestling with loneliness, identity shifts, and the emotional weight of motherhood abroad.

During one of her most isolating seasons, podcasts became an unexpected lifeline, offering connection, companionship, and a reminder she wasn’t alone. That experience ultimately inspired her to write a book exploring how listening to podcasts helped preserve her mental health and sense of self while living far from home.

This episode is an engaging listen for expat moms, military spouses, mothers navigating isolation, and anyone who has ever felt unseen during a vulnerable season of motherhood.

In This Episode, We Discuss:

• What it’s really like raising children as an expat mother

• The loneliness and identity loss many moms experience living abroad

• Creating emotional connection when your support system is far away

• Turning personal survival into a story that helps other mothers feel less alone

Who This Episode Is For:

• Expat and internationally living mothers

• Moms navigating loneliness, isolation, or major life transitions

• Women searching for connection while raising children far from family

• Podcast lovers curious about the emotional power of audio storytelling

Rosamaria’s story is a reminder that even in the quietest, loneliest moments of motherhood, connection is possible and sometimes it arrives through a pair of headphones when you need it most!

🎧 Listen now to hear how podcasts helped one expat mom survive loneliness abroad and why her story may resonate more deeply than you expect.
