About this listen

 Weight Gain, Body Image, and Faith | A Biblical Perspective for Women Over 40 Who Are Struggling to Lose Weight She was a successful fitness coach. Lean. In shape. Building a business. And by every outward measure — thriving. And then she gained 40 pounds seemingly overnight. But that is not the most important part of her story. The most important part is what God did with it. In this episode of the Cortisol Coach Podcast, Christine Marie sits down with Renee Maldonado — founder of Rich Glow and creator of Fit for the Call — for one of the most prophetic and powerful conversations this show has had yet. Renee did not grow up in a faith-filled home. She entered fitness from a place of insecurity — never feeling small enough, never feeling worthy enough — and built an entire business on a foundation that looked successful from the outside but was completely disconnected from God on the inside. When burnout hit and her body changed, God did something far more significant than a physical transformation. He dismantled every identity marker she had built her worth on. Her fitness. Her appearance. Her expertise. All of it. And what felt like a breaking became her breakthrough. Today Renee helps Christian women stop treating their bodies like projects and start stewarding them as temples — through a framework that addresses identity, stewardship, and fruit as one integrated calling. Her approach is not about meal plans and macros. It is about becoming the healthiest, holiest version of yourself so you are actually equipped for what God has called you to. If you have been struggling to lose weight, battling body image, and wondering why nothing is working — this episode is going to reframe everything. Because the problem may not be your diet. It may be your identity. Your healthiest self is your holiest self.
