In this deeply personal episode of The Intentional Health for Women Podcast, I sit down with Katie Chiara, a fitness coach and faith-driven powerhouse who’s redefining what it means to find freedom in fitness. Katie’s story is one of resilience, self-discovery, and unwavering faith. She opens up about her struggles with eating disorders, body image, and the societal pressures that shaped her path, sharing how these challenges ultimately led her to find strength through Christ and a renewed sense of purpose.
We dive into the complex relationship between fitness and faith, exploring how treating our bodies as temples goes far beyond aesthetics—it's about fueling ourselves to serve others and honoring the gifts we've been given. Katie also shares how she’s infused her coaching business, Fit and Free Coaching, with the values of food freedom, faith, and authenticity, guiding women to break free from diet culture and societal expectations.
If you’ve ever felt weighed down by the need for approval, struggled with self-worth, or wondered how faith can transform your approach to health and life, this episode is for you.
