Hey, Fit Fam! Today, I’m beyond excited to introduce you to my new friend, Kate Horney, from Beyond Fit Mom! If you’re a busy mom navigating the ever-changing seasons of life—whether that’s postpartum recovery, perimenopause, or just trying to make fitness fit into your already full plate—this episode is for you.

Kate is a pre- and postnatal fitness specialist with nearly two decades of experience in the fitness industry. She’s the creator of Beyond Fit Mom, an OB-endorsed fitness program designed to help women strengthen their core, rebuild their bodies after pregnancy, and develop sustainable health habits for life.

But what I love most about Kate? She blends faith and fitness in a way that’s practical, sustainable, and deeply rooted in stewardship over striving.

In This Episode, We Talk About:

✅ Kate’s personal journey into fitness and how motherhood reshaped her approach to health
✅ How to balance health and fitness without obsessing or feeling guilty
✅ Why faith should be at the center of your health journey
✅ How Kate creates a culture of wellness in her family (and how you can do the same!)
✅ Common struggles moms face—like diastasis recti and postpartum core recovery
✅ The difference between training for aesthetics vs. training for longevity and function
✅ Simple, sustainable ways to prioritize movement when life is busy

Faith & Fitness: Why Your Health is a Form of Worship

One of my favorite takeaways from this episode is the reminder that taking care of your body isn’t about vanity—it’s about honoring the Lord. Kate shares how 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 has shaped her view of fitness and how she teaches women to see movement as an act of worship.

When we shift our focus from aesthetics to stewardship, we stop feeling guilty for taking care of ourselves and start seeing our health as a way to better serve God, our families, and our calling.

Struggling to Balance Fitness & Motherhood? You’re Not Alone.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re stuck in the yo-yo cycle of fitness—swinging between obsession and apathy—you’re not alone. Kate and I talk about how we’ve both walked through that struggle, and what it takes to find a sustainable, grace-filled approach to health that works in every season of life.

Kate shares how she built Beyond Fit Mom out of a deep desire to help women find freedom—not frustration—in their fitness journey. From postpartum recovery to perimenopause, she’s helped thousands of women develop fitness rhythms that are effective, faith-filled, and sustainable.

Practical Takeaways from This Episode:

💡 Shift your mindset—your health is about stewardship, not perfection
💡 Find a faith-based approach to fitness to stay motivated and grounded
💡 Build a culture of wellness in your home (it starts with you, mama!)
💡 Focus on core strength & functional fitness—not just aesthetics
💡 Create small, sustainable habits that fit your busy life
