🎙️ NEW EPISODE - Ep. 29: Anchored Identity: Knowing Who You Are When the World Is Loud

The world is loud. Be more. Do more. Achieve more. Run faster. Be a better mom. Build a bigger business. Never slow down.

And if we're not careful, we start measuring our identity by our performance instead of our purpose.

An anchor doesn't stop the storm, it keeps you from drifting in it. ⚓

In this episode, Bethany & Christy get honest about the things we're all tempted to anchor to: running, business, leadership, motherhood, achievement. And why every one of them will eventually crush you if it becomes your foundation instead of an expression of who you already are.

Whether you're leading, running, raising kids, or just showing up — you don't have to earn your worth today. You just have to walk faithfully in who God already says you are. 🤍

Personalized care does not always mean starting with a complicated plan.

In this week’s Follow Us on Friday, Bethany and Christy talk about why the foundations must come first, protein, movement, sleep, hormones, and consistent daily habits.

You may already know what to do, but knowledge alone does not create change. Ex*****on does.

Once the foundation is stronger, that is when the deeper, more individualized work can begin.

What is one foundational habit you know you need to become more consistent with?

Behind the scenes…

We got everything set up… then realized we were sitting on the wrong sides of each other.

A quick switch, a few laughs, and we were ready to hit record.

New Grit & Grace Podcast episode drops next weekend. We can’t wait to share it with you.

Drop a 🙋‍♀️ if diet culture has ever told you:

❌ Eat less to weigh less
❌ Do more cardio
❌ Skip breakfast / fast longer
❌ The scale is the only thing that matters

We spent years believing those lies too.

Episode 28 is our answer to all of it.

NEW EPISODE 🎙️ Grandma's Marathon: What Duluth Taught Us About Grit, Grace, and Going the Distance

We're fresh off the start line in Duluth and this conversation goes deep. The training cycle that got us there. The mental game when the miles got hard. The moment we both wanted to back off. And what doing hard things together, race after race, has taught us about friendship.

Plus a Rapid Fire round you don't want to miss, best spectator sign, worst race-day decision, and the one word that sums up the whole race.

Whatever you're chasing right now, this one's for you.

We're headed to Duluth for Grandma's Marathon — and before we go, we're dropping this throwback. 👇

Episode 2. September 2025. Our first-ever race recap episode - Grandma's Marathon, take one. Let's just say we both had a lot to learn. About racing. About podcasting. Probably about a few other things too.

We're running it again this weekend with better training, better legs, and a whole year of growth behind us.
The grit hasn't changed. The grace has gotten bigger.

New episode is LIVE. 🎙️

We're halfway through 2026 and it's time to get honest.

Christy and Bethany are sitting down for a real mid-year audit.

What's working, what's not, and what needs to go.
Running updates.
Business shifts.
Life changes.
And the hard truth that you cannot scale chaos.

If you set a word for this year, this episode is going to hit.
