I never knew what was holding me back and creating such a daily struggle with weight loss and food choices… until now! It was that I did not have the spiritual motivation - it was all just superficial. Now that I have learned from Beth how important this aspect is, I’ve been able to loose some stubborn weight but more importantly I’m learning how to link my physical life with my spiritual life. It’s all a journey and I’m just at the beginning. Working on it so that prayers will be answered - al... more
I am so grateful for this podcast content, both practical tips and spiritual inspiration. I look forward to it every week!!
This information about alcohol is so needed in our alcohol obsessed society. Not only is drinking alcohol encouraged but people take issue with you if you don’t drink alcohol. It’s crazy! Thank you!
Each podcast is such a gift. Even if you don’t feel like you can do it and give us sugar flour and alcohol. Even if you feel you fail at fasting when you try. It’s a safe space filled with beauty and don’t stop listening. I have so much to learn!
This podcast has helped me begin spiritual fasting for my loved ones with practical steps and encouragement. Thanks, Beth!

A faith-forward, weight-loss oriented show centered on spiritual fasting, especially through prayer, fasting from sugar/flour/alcohol, and Catholic practices. Episodes frequently blend personal testimony with practical coaching techniques, encouraging disciplined routines (prayer, sacraments, and structured fasting) to support weight management while deepening spiritual life.
