Episode 14: Coach Karen Lynne - From Discipline to Peace.

Описание: Episode Title: From Discipline to Peace: Rewriting the Story of Food, Faith, and the Female Body

What if your body doesn’t need more discipline… but a new relationship with food, stress, and self-worth?

In this powerful and deeply relatable episode, hosts Alane, Amber, and Elaine sit down with Karen Lynne Knaupp, a certified health and lifestyle coach who spent decades trapped in diet culture—losing and gaining the same weight over and over—before finally discovering the root cause of her struggles.

Karen Lynne shares her journey from lifelong dieting and body shame to blood sugar balance, peace with food, and a renewed sense of purpose. Together, we explore what it really takes to heal in midlife—physically, emotionally, and spiritually—without choosing between your health and a full, meaningful life.

In this episode, we talk about:
Why your body may be asking for trust, not control
How diet culture disconnects women from their bodies (and themselves)
Letting go of the scale—and what happens when you do
Why sustainable health must fit real life, especially for busy women
How faith, identity, and purpose reshape the way we approach health
Why the journey of learning and up-leveling is actually good news

If you’ve ever felt like you were doing “all the right things” but your body wasn’t cooperating, this episode is your permission slip to stop fighting your body and start partnering with it.
