5. How Shay Moved from Survival Mode to Steady Strength—One Faith-Filled Step at a Time
What happens when the “healthy habits” feel out of reach…and everything in life feels heavy?
In this episode, I’m joined by one of my dearest friends—and our Kingdom Life Coach inside the membership—Shay Greenwood. Shay opens up about what it looked like to go from avoiding exercise and feeling overwhelmed by food choices…to becoming someone who moves with purpose, nourishes her body with confidence, and encourages women to do the same.
We talk about:
- Why she used to say “I’m not an exerciser” (and what changed)
- The power of choosing small, steady steps over perfect plans
- How her journey through my 21-Day Primal Reset gave her the foundation she’d been missing
- What it means to walk in faith through even the hardest seasons—including walking with her husband through a Stage 4 cancer diagnosis
This conversation is honest, hope-filled, and a beautiful reminder that God doesn’t waste anything. Whether you’re starting from scratch or picking yourself back up, Shay’s story will meet you right where you are.
