Kim Dolan Leto – Christian Fitness & Mindset Coach | Bestselling Author
About this episode

Ever wonder why you keep starting over in your fitness journey—even when you pray about it? In this episode, I’m sharing a personal story and the #1 mistake Christian women make that keeps us stuck. Let’s stop struggling alone and invite Jesus in.

😩 Why do I keep starting over in my fitness journey—even when I pray about it?
If that sounds like you, you are not alone.

You’re not lazy.

You’re not failing.

You may just be making the #1 Christian fitness mistake no one talks about—and it’s keeping you stuck in a cycle of striving, guilt, and exhaustion.

In this episode, I’m sharing a personal health story I’ve never told publicly, the subtle mistake Christian women often make, and how to finally walk in freedom by letting God—not the world—lead your fitness journey.

Here’s what we’re diving into:


• The #1 mistake Christian women make with fitness
• Why your faith and fitness still feel disconnected
• What serving God with your health actually looks like
• Lies you’ve been believing—and the truth from Scripture to replace them
• A free mindset reset that will help you stop starting over
