Episode 146: But God Can: Overcome Striving and Comparison with Becky Kiser

Visibly Fit with Wendie Pett

In this conversation, I interviewed Becky Kiser about her book But God Can: How to Stop Striving. We discuss the importance of having a coach or mentor, the need for a holistic approach to fitness, and the dangers of comparison. We also talk about acknowledging our pain and struggles, taking steps of faith, and finding calm in the chaos. Becky shares a story of a woman she coached who felt stuck and how she helped her find freedom.

I urge you to listen and take the next step toward healing and growth. Tune in and be inspired to embrace your journey with faith and courage.
