SUMMARY

Shar speaks with health and fitness expert Michelle Spadafora about why so many fitness and health plans fail —not because women don’t know what to do, but because years of manipulation and criticism have shaped the beliefs and stories they quietly tell themselves Michelle shares spiritual and practical truths to help listeners in their health and wellness journey as they heal from narcissistic abuse.

WHAT TO LISTEN FOR 

  • How faith is connected to fitness and wellbeing
  • Why it’s necessary to look beyond only on behavior change (what you eat, how you move) for success
  • Practical ways to identify lies you’ve believed about your body, worth, and willpower that will help you succeed this time
  •  how inviting God into your wellness journey leads to real, lasting growth.
