HER EATING DISORDER STORY WITH KAILAN KALINA

15 weeks pregnant. One week from knowing the gende

15 weeks pregnant.
One week from knowing the gender of this child that we get to raise.
25 weeks from birth.
Maybe a few weeks from FEELING Bug move inside me.
And a decade away from having an 9 1/2 year old 😂 that one actually blows my mind.
•
With everything changing so much it feels a bit uncanny to bring a child into the world in 2020. My flesh wants to sit in fear and anxiety. But my spirit says Ecclesiastes 3:11. He has made everything beautiful in it’s time. Regardless of what this world looks like we still get to show this baby Jesus from his/her first breath until our last. “He has put eternity into man’s heart”.
•
So this little avocado and I are going to keep growing strong, keep rooting and choose joy! 🥑✨ #secondtrimester #bumpdate #15weekspregnant #pregnancyjourney

Coffee B E A N S ☕️
•
Coffee actually represents a lot for me.
I’ve used it. I’ve abused it. I’ve gave some of my identity to it. And yet, I’ve forgiven it and learned to enjoy it how it was intended to be enjoyed. Now, I adore me some coffee, how it’s created, places that people drink it and how it brings us together.
•
Let me explain.
🔅I went through a phase where I used coffee beans to make scrubs to rub on my legs to erase the cellulite.
🔅 I used to drink 4-6 coffees a day to try and eat less. I would choose a zero calorie, chemical packed coffee drink instead of food because #skinny was the goal. I remember having acid reflux DAILY.
🔅 I abused coffee for sleep. Instead of prioritizing sleep, I would add espresso shots so that I didn’t miss out on life.
•
I actually did a lot of these similar things with Jesus. I used His name for a better image. I would copy and paste scripture because I wanted people to know I was a Christian even though I had zero clue if I was going to heaven. I shared worship songs on my social media when I never knew who I was worshipping. I put my identity in Christianity and how it could make me look instead of Jesus alone.
•
So yeah, I can’t think of coffee without thinking of Jesus. Because now... well it’s around a cup of coffee that I’ve had the BEST and deepest Jesus talks, prayer time and deep dives into the Word.
•
What I used to use to erase my cellulite now brings me near to Jesus in the coolest of ways. Redemption baby.

New favorite hobby: rubbing this growing belly.
•
I’ve had a couple awkward body moments this week where I catch myself in the mirror and kinda get shook for a second. But yesterday I had this WHOLE new mindset flip where I remember that I get to choose excitement!
•
I know from my past that when I start to self sabotage at all I end up making worse decisions for my body. Overeating, poor planning, and laziness because I’m too stuck in my feels. Anyone else?
•
And I’m not gonna live that life during this pregnancy. I’m choosing to be excited about every step of this growth, my body stretching and the process that this journey is. I’m choosing to be transformed by the renewing of my mind!
•
I actually talk about this in more detail on today’s podcast episode on the Chasing Freedom Show too. Mind/body connection is a real things despite how woo-woo it may sound.
•
I also consistently tackle this in my FMM coaching- which btw OPENS MONDAY 😭. If you have not hopped on the waitlist yet, that’s the only way to access my coaching next week for the lowest cost ever. Click the link in my bio to learn more and join.

For years I thought I was a 7 on the enneagram. Come to find out I’m a 3 that loves adventure as much at a 7. I’m curious what you are? Comment below and if you know your wing, add that too. I’m a 3W4.
•
The last couple of years I have lived in my @bangsshoes for several reasons. First of all their stylish and right up my alley. Second, they are ready for adventure at anytime... I’ve walked MILES in these. And third, they support entrepreneurs working to get their businesses up and going and well... #same.
•
I’m sure you all have seen the high tops I live in and these London Fog low tops are the perfect addition to my wardrobe so now I can wear them daily 🤟🏼. Swipe left to see them in more detail. #liveBANGS

Look, as much as ya wanna run from it some days, your body doesn’t leave you. I know that’s not the inspiring Monday read you may have been looking for on your scroll time. But I think this will help you more than an motivational quote.
.
I used to live a life that was very much me against my body and what I FINALLY realized was that, even on the days I won and ate perfect… I was losing. I was losing to pride and idols and fear. And after years of this and feeling empty in whatever result I got, I began to realize that I was separating my physical health from my relationship with Jesus. I had NO idea that my relationship with Jesus and inviting Him in would lead me to a level of health that was so much more.
•
This may be you. A girl wanting this health. The one that doesn’t make you feel so trapped in your skin yet instead see the purposeful life that He wants to take that body through.
•
Yes.. life is so much more than your body but I’m not the coach or friend that’s going to pretend like your body doesn’t matter. It does. It give you energy, it’s the place you have to live daily and it’s an actual gift. So your body DOES matter. But when we put ALL our worth in our bodies it’s a whole heck of a lot harder to love it. Our bodies weren’t made to handle that.... Jesus was. He wants your worth because He can handle every bit of you.
•
He can give you what your body never can. And I just want to help you navigate that. I know my “health coaching” may have a completely different approach than anything you’ve heard of. And because of that, this may sound really foreign. Don’t worry, it was to me too in 2017.
•
My Freedom Method Mentorship opens in ONE week to a very special group of women who simply choose to say, “I’m ready”. The link is in my bio to jump on the waitlist (which is how you get access to my mentorship). I’m so ready for those who are ready.

Derick and I got to talking about all the adventures we are gonna take this baby on when he/she is here. A year ago if ya told me I’d be on a long car ride, with a bump hanging over my seat belt, daydreaming about adventuring with a baby next Spring, sitting next to a hunk of a husband... I wouldn’t have believed you. Cherishing these moments and just pausing the praise Jesus for this miracle. #13w5d #secondtrimester #pregnancyjourney

Welp- today when I got out of the shower and was p

Welp- today when I got out of the shower and was putting some oil on this belly, I had a moment. A body image moment. Some quick things flew in my head.
Am I gaining too much weight?
Why does it look two rolls instead of one smooth bump?
•
I straight up just didn’t love what I saw on the outside. I even grabbed a handful of skin on my sides in disgust.
•
People ask me all the time if I ever struggle with body image anymore since I share about all this freedom stuff.
•
The short answer is, yes. Satan uses the same ol tricks on me. The mirror, other women’s bodies and the “I’m a health coach I should be healthier” thought.
•
Here is the difference. I genuinely don’t stay there anymore. In the past, a morning like this would have lead to eating less, exercising more and jumping on and off the scale morning and night. I would have been more focused on my body than the life in front of me.
•
Today, I just remembered. The promises, the life, the worth, the story. I remembered the woman I’m able to be instead of the woman I wish I was.
•
And that’s freedom.
•
If you’re struggling with getting stuck in the lies and the wants... I’ve created an entire journey for you. A process where you can slow down your pace, get healthy and walk towards the heart of God. The Freedom Method Mentorship.

Look, I get it. You’re tired. You’re annoyed and you’re starting to lose hope.
•
You want:
✨ more discipline
✨ motivation
✨ trust
✨ patience
✨ willpower
✨ self control
✨ results
✨ confidence
✨ unlimited joy
•
I can remember vivid days feeling SO uncomfortable in my clothes and building up frustration because I was not doing anything that aligned with what I told myself I wanted. Just wondering when this feeling was going to flee and I would finally get my crap together.
•

Isn’t that so defeating. You say you desire something SO bad yet you can seem to muster up the strength to consistently take the action? Anyone resonate with that?
•
Here is the thing. We want the results. We don’t get hype for the process it’s going to take. But in the Freedom Method Mentorship I am constantly reminding you that God actually LOVES the process because this is where He know He gets your heart and things change. Not just your body. But the way you react, talk and live.
•
If you want to embrace the process and step in the “I am in the process” bus, don’t miss this opportunity to walk through the Freedom Method Mentorship. I am dropping the price from $1500 to just $257 for those who jump on the waitlist because I want nothing more than to witness you embrace your freedom!

Momma brunch. WHAT A DREAM. I get to be a mom with these two?!

Mom and Jess (my older sis), thank you for being such a beautiful representation of a noble mom and wife. I feel so secure knowing that I have gotten to witness you guys embrace motherhood and that I have you by my side as I embark on the journey too. I love you all!

To all the mommas, those who lost theirs, those who yearn to be moms & those who have lost children... you’re an actual hero. Happy Mother’s Day!

“Tanner, who the heck are you to record a podcas

“Tanner, who the heck are you to record a podcast episode on this?”
.
Welcome to my thoughts. And then I remembered.. the life I chose is an uncomfortable one. My husband has a tattoo on wrist (swipe to see) that says “unlikely unqualified”.
.
How many times have you felt called to something that you feel the furthest qualified for? In fact, 7 years ago if you would have told me I would be helping women live free from body bondage and food…… I would have just stopped in a dead stare WAITING for the “just kidding” to follow.
.
And so I did the episode. Feeling unqualified but trusting that He would provide the words. Episode 97 is all about how to pursue Jesus with your significant other.
.
What I really hit on was the main obstacles that I see in WHY this can be so hard to navigate:
1. Comparison
2. Communication
3. Insecurity
.
Derick and I even had a BIG talk this last week after months of lack of communication that had allowed this wedge to form in between us and God. I share the story in the show.
.
Y’all we don’t have this down and I want to work on this together with you. I love that you desire to grow with your spouse or boyfriend in Christ. That’s a rad way to live. So let’s chat. Just search “Chasing Freedom Show” in your podcast app.

Ya know when ya just have a fruitful day? Today reminded me just how much greater life really is then how we feel. It’s so much bigger than just us. Some days I feel like it’s me vs I. But today I felt like it was God for US.
•
Physically I felt super blah today. Slow, heavy, bloated, uncomfortable and a little out of whack (maybe it was the McDonald’s for lunch 🙃). BUT today was sooop full of fruit.
•
It was full of testimonies, freedom, breakthrough, community, tears, prayer and also a good report on baby Bug.
•
For years a good day was built off of how I felt physically. Even if God performed a miracle in front of my eyes I missed it because all I saw was the mirror.
•
Today I saw progress. Progress in my spirit and I’m FOR it. God I need so much more of you and so much less of me.
•
Oh sweet fruitful day, you are so cherished.

My coaching. Do you know how stinking hard it is to express through IG and social media the calling I feel lead to in the lives of women?
•
It’s hard. V hard. There are no words to pull together so that you can grasp the transformation that God can and will do in you. He just does it.
•
That’s my story. For years I was rooted in appearance. Food, exercise, men and compliments fueled me.
•
But at the end of the day I was hurting. Bad. I was fighting shame and loneliness. Just pushing it down and away so that I could throw on my happy mask again and try to be loved.
•
In today’s podcast episode I gave this a whirl. I shared how God holistically walked me into health. As I listened back, I fought tears. God needs someone to hear this today. There is a gal who is doing all the “right” things but she feels super empty and is sick of trying to be someone she really isn’t.
•
And so if you struggle with body image, food, or are struggling with your identity, check today’s episode out. Just search, “Chasing Freedom Show” in your podcast app.
•
Have a great Thursday, love! I’m believing that we can all hug our favorite peeps again soon. #bodyimage #11weekspregnant #identityinchrist #holistichealth #foodfreedom

Do you ever feel overwhelmed about everything and

Do you ever feel overwhelmed about everything and nothing at the same time and then you’re overwhelmed because you’re frustrated AT your overwhelm? Do I sound crazy? Welcome to my brain sometimes.
.
The word “supposed” is really killing my quarantine joy in a lot of moments.
.
I know I am not the only one who constantly uses this word in her own thoughts.
.
I am supposed to eat healthier while pregnant.
I am supposed to have a cleaner house.
I am supposed to get back to all those emails.
I am supposed to drink more water.
I am supposed to be a better wife and do more things for him.
I am supposed to be really productive today.
.
At the end of the day I kinda have just felt like I have not been doing enough. I have these feelings of shame that just feel BLAH.
.
And here is where the ugly in my heart has been revealed to me lately. I idolize my plans, my routines and how much I can do. I have realized that I have sacrificed some REALLY beautiful moments with people because sometimes just “being” feels to dang pointless. I am not accomplishing anything in those moments and so my mind runs to what I should be doing. Based on….. my terms? My plans? My ways?
.
Ya know, I really hope you and I take all these isolated lessons and turn them into love. I hope they change us and remold our hearts. I hope we recognize that these lessons may just be the pivotal thing that heals us, grows us and makes us the kingdom builders He made us to be.
.
Anyone else been feeling this overwhelm lately? #overwhelm #chasingfreedom #kinddommindset #quarantinelessons

PS- this crop crew neck along with 2 other beautiful pieces launch on Friday! I’m doing a collaboration with @happilyeverthreads to bring you some new beautiful and high quality freedom pieces. #churchmerch

Quarantine + marriage…..
First month - “This is AMAZING, we get so much more time together and I feel so blessed.”
Second month - “This is hard. We got in a fight over BBQ sauce last night.”
•
Anyone else? Lol I have had some conversations with women this week about marriage and how this time has been rough on their relationship.
•
A few times I have found myself wanting to bring things up in conversation with Derick but struggling to express emotions and the harder things.
•
I mean last night he was eating a bowl of popcorn next to me and the sound of him chewing was sending me over the edge. lol.
•
There is this beautiful thing called “work” that God created before sin even entered then world. It was meant for good.
•
We find ourselves complaining about work so often but when we don’t have it or it looks different we are given perspective. We miss it. We see value. For a lot of us, it makes us better. It is a boundary that we had no idea was even protecting us and our relationships.
•
But let me say this, if your marriage feels hard right now there is opportunity right in front of you. Opportunity for tough conversations, opportunity for seeking knowledge, opportunity for growth that would have never presented itself if God was not in this.
•
When you think back to the last two months of life aren’t you kind of in awe? Like if you were told this would happen on Christmas of 2019, you probably would have laughed. This time is WILD. It is sad, difficult and good all in the same. Crisis really reveals our idols and I am seeing that first hand.
•
I am praying for marriages right now. For unity. For rooting.

Feeling guilty for not recognizing #earthday becau

Feeling guilty for not recognizing #earthday because I love the Earth. It’s fascinating. It’s beautiful. It makes no sense. So because I had Earth Day shame weighing on me, here’s a picture from Bryce Canyon. A piece of Earth that 100% will blow your mind. You feel like you’re shrunk down and placed in the drip castles you made as a child at the beach.
•
After traveling 7 months last year and seeing a lot of this side of the Earth, @dthobbs22 and I are pumped to see more.

What your top place to see right now? #belatedearthday #brycecanyon #naturelover #Godissocool #traveljunkie

When we got to 10 months into our trying to concei

When we got to 10 months into our trying to conceive journey I remember hearing a stat that really broke me in that moment. I was now apart of the 10%. Only 10% of couples don’t have a baby growing at this point.
.
I remember questions swarming my head.
“What have I done wrong?”
“What are the 90% doing that we are not?”
“What if I become the 1%?”
“What if I am not ok if we can’t have a baby?”
.
But luckily my thoughts didn’t live too long in that space because I knew I was speaking death over my spirit. So I began to think about the power of what God does with the 10%. All I could think was, THIS IS GODS. This is His story and God I give you this 10%, do with it as you please.
.
I know to you my fertility journey may have looked faith filled… but when I look back at it, I see how merciful God really is. You know, we are called to give Him the FIRST of everything (Proverbs 3:9). But I took the first 90% in my hands. Even though I believed conceiving was a miracle as I learned the complexity of it, I thought I was the biggest part in making that happen. Those first 10 moths, I put A LOT of pressure on myself. You didn’t see the begging, the anger, the fetal position crying, the googling, the fear. There were lots of moments I felt faithless.
.
But even when I gave God that last 10%, He STILL was faithful. Because that’s our God. On TTC month 11 He gave us this child. Still entrusting that we will raise Bug up in His Word. This was SUCH a spiritual lesson. I think about all the things I saw and know about Jesus but where I am lacking the faithful action behind it.
.
For 10 months I said I knew that God’s timing was perfect but I worshipped the calendar I thought was better for our family. I was frustrated that God could not see that! This was God’s story all along. He does a lot with that 10%.

Let the official baby bump pictures commence 💃🏼🤰🏼. 9 weeks today folks and Bug has me dreaming the wildest of things (lots of nightmares actually). I have a steady cloud of nausea but it’s not crazy heavy. I’m starting to eat more veggies again, praise 🙌🏼. And my body LOVES movement. Walks, circuits and stretching are my jam.
•
I’ve been journaling every few days on how I’ve been feeling and prayers for the baby but I am always open to what other mommas do to document their pregnancies!
