Let me reintroduce myself

Hi friends, I’m Mandy, the face behind Faith Fueled Wellness, and my journey has been one of transformation—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. For most of my adult life, I struggled with my weight, self-confidence, and a deep sense of guilt and shame. I’ve used alcohol in the past as an attempt to fit in, I've battled poor body image, and at times I've felt distant from God. But in 2013, everything changed.

At nearly 300 pounds, I knew it was time for a shift—not just in my body, but in my heart and mind. My faith was reignited through a small church my son began attending, and as I drew closer to God, I began healing from the inside out. My weight loss journey was never just about the number on the scale; it was about becoming a healthier, stronger version of myself so I could serve God, be a better mother, and step into the purpose He had for me.

Over the years, I lost over 130 pounds, faced setbacks gaining some of thebweight back, navigated major life changes, and ultimately found my calling in helping others. I became an ACE-certified Health Coach and Group Fitness Instructor, as well as a Revelation Wellness fitness instructor and the Wellness Revelation facilitator. While I never imagined myself leading others in this way, God made it clear that this was the path He wanted me to take. And through it all, I’ve learned that true wellness isn’t just about diet and exercise—it’s about surrendering every part of the journey to Christ.

I know how hard this path can be. I understand the struggles, the doubts, and the desire to give up. But I also know the freedom that comes with trusting God in the process. My heart is to encourage and walk alongside other women, reminding them that they are not alone and that their journey is uniquely their own. Whether you’re just starting or have been on this road for years, I want to create a space where we can pursue health—body, mind, and spirit—without shame or judgment.

Wherever you are in your journey, I get it. And I’m here to walk with you. If you’re new around here there are a couple of ways we can connect. I come here, to this page, a few times a week and share some things on my heart. I also share about our Saturday morning workouts here. If you’re local, you are welcome to join my women only, faith based workouts. I also have an accountability group where I share more of my journey. I share devotionals, education, workouts, encouragement, and more! Send me a message if you’d like to join!
