The healing power of fitness goes far beyond physical benefits—for today’s guest, it’s a form of self-expression and a celebration of what the body can do. In this episode, host Nora McInerny sits down with fitness personality Ivylis Rivera, who shares her deeply personal journey of navigating life with Chronic Migraine while holding onto her passion for movement. Ivylis opens up about the struggle of staying active while facing the fear of triggering a headache or migraine attack and the resilience it takes to keep pushing forward—a resilience that carried her through the challenging journey of finding a Chronic Migraine treatment plan that worked for her. Join Nora and Ivylis as they explore the concept of “soft living,” a philosophy Ivylis embraces—staying active, listening to your body, and building trust in oneself.

80% of Your Thoughts Today Are Holding You Back—Let’s Fix That 15:15

1 day ago15:15

15:15

Did you know you have over 60,000 thoughts a day ? And more than 80% of them are probably negative ? That means most of what we’re thinking today is the same stuff we thought yesterday—and a lot of it isn’t even helpful. In this episode, I’m talking about something we all deal with but don’t always realize— limiting thoughts . I’ll be honest, I’ve had seasons where my thoughts were running the show in the worst way. I was talking to myself crazy, doubting everything God had put on my heart. But over time, I’ve learned how to identify those quiet lies and replace them with truth. In this episode, I’m sharing: How limiting thoughts show up in everyday life (they’re sneaky!) What those thoughts are costing us—confidence, opportunities, joy 3 simple but powerful ways to overcome them using biblical truth If you’ve ever felt stuck, afraid to move forward, or unsure if you’re enough… this one’s for you.
