In this episode of "All The Ships," we embark on a journey into the heart of the REFIT® community, discovering the incredible story behind the REFIT Studio + HQ, lovingly dubbed "The Mothership." The REFIT Studio + HQ is not just a building; it's a sanctuary where REFIT enthusiasts come to share in the joy and love of their community. Embedded in every corner, the Mothership has held moments of triumph, laughter, tears, grief, and unwavering support - all of the makings of community. Much like the REFIT fitness revolution, the tale of the REFIT Studio + HQ is one of growth and determination. Friends and REFIT® Founders Angela, Catherine, and Emily talk about their journey through DIY renovation and the related and unrelated stress and overwhelm that occurred as they transitioned from a rented studio and a converted apartment-office to the purchase and construction of a permanent home in downtown Waco, Texas. But this isn't just a story of construction; it's a story of dreams brought to life. It's a testament to the dedication poured into creating a space that fosters acceptance and belonging. From big design choices to the tiniest restroom details, each element of their space is infused with love and intention. Whether you've ever built or renovated a home or simply appreciate spaces that foster acceptance and belonging, this episode will resonate with you. Listen to find out: --Who fiercely dug in her heels about buying the new building --Who faced moments of doubt and contemplated quitting—not just once, but twice --Whose magnetic presence is cultivating a substantial fanbase in Canada This episode is dedicated to our shining light, Kathy. #shiningforkathy
We've got some exciting news: a new episode of All The Ships - Season 3 is out now! And it's juicy, it's hilarious, and it's chock-full of relationship goodness. In this episode, Emily is surprised by her husband, Tommy Field, who joins the Finding Fit podcast to share their love story. The couple met in high school and fell in love at a young age -- a testament to the idea that high school relationships can indeed succeed and evolve into lifelong partnerships!

Through it all, Emily and Tommy's love has remained steadfast, a true testament to the power of commitment and, of course, teamwork!

** Advisory note that content in this episode may not be suitable for children. ** Angela and Emily are preparing to lose their therapy “virginity” on air, but in this episode, we establish a foundation of trust between patient and therapist, Jared Johnson. Jared T. Johnson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), who earned a degree from the University of Utah, where his clinical focus was on Forensics. Jared has worked in the field for over 20 years, and as a clinician for the last 8 years. He has worked in residential and outpatient substance use disorder clinics. The specific therapy types that he uses in his daily work are: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance Commitment Therapy, Relapse Prevention Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Mindfulness Interventions/Skills. Jared has been married to his wife Davian for 15 years, who is a REFIT Instructor and loves to share her experience with REFIT with everyone. They have 4 kids: Berlyn, Greysen, Kayden, and Addelyn. Jared begins painting the therapy canvas by answering questions such as: • does everyone need therapy? • are certain people “untreatable?” • what are the different types of therapy? • how do you identify signs of depression? • does Angela need therapy if everyone else is getting it?

We’ve officially dubbed this season of Finding Fit the “Riff Season” because each episode is a random collection of conversations. More than anything, we hope each episode feels like hanging out with friends! This particular “random riffing” covers: • Catherine tries to teach Angela & Emily how to meditate • ACE talks about things that are embarrassing that shouldn’t be • Emily discusses when trends are no longer enjoyable to her • Angela describes her aversion to eating alone and the lengths she goes to avoid it This may be our final episode of the season (we can’t be sure) so don’t miss out!
To phone or not to phone -- that is the question. In this episode of Finding Fit, ACE discusses why, when, and how people choose to call people on the phone to chat. The episode takes a left turn when Angela, Catherine, and Emily each decide to randomly "phone a friend" and the responses to the phone calls are priceless! Special guest appearances include: --Catherine's mom and dad --Emily's sister --Angela's son-in-law, sister, and daughter
In this episode, Angela, Catherine, and Emily discuss personal rules they would implement for all of mankind if they had a magic wand. Highlights include: --Is Angela growing -- or just growing more particular? --How to pronounce the word "niche" --How to say the words "I'm sorry" and mean it --Emily admits she's not a good gift giver --Catherine shares her tips on proper tipping and saying "thank you" --Is bad breath rude? --Is calling someone who doesn't want to be called rude? You'll probably identify with many of these "rules" of engagement -- plus add several of your own! Want to join the conversation? Find us @findingfitpod on Instagram and Facebook!

Courage can take on many forms. Courage can be found in the honesty of words, thoughts, and opinions that others may disagree with. Courage can be found in the bravery of staying in the conversation when words are strong and emotions run wild. There are, of course, lots of other examples of courage, and the release of today’s @findingfitpod episode is yet another opportunity for courage. In this episode, we discuss our encounter with spiritual abuse. To be honest, one of the main reasons we started this podcast was to share this story in particular. It’s important to us because not only is it an important part of who we are, but also how we love others -- specifically through REFIT. We understand that discussions of denomination, religion, theology, and, specifically, Christianity can be volatile, and we are aware that our stories, though personal, can have a wide and diverse impact. Our commitment to this podcast has always been to share our truest, unedited (and often unfiltered) versions of ourselves, and this episode holds nothing back. TWO DISCLAIMERS: •Some of the content discussed in this episode can be triggering if you’ve encountered any type of abuse, so listener discretion is advised. •Should personal questions, concerns or issues arise after listening to this episode, we encourage you to seek counsel from a trusted peer, mentor, family member or pastor. We love you guys. Thanks for listening.❤️
Today’s episode of Finding Fit has us a bit nervous. As we tiptoe into the deep waters of our encounter with spiritual abuse, we felt it was important to take you back to ground zero of our spiritual history, formation, and church experiences from birth until now. Though these are our honest, vulnerable stories, we still feel a bit nervous (and perhaps even fearful) to share them with you. We know that discussions about church, theology, denomination, and Christian culture are hard...and, at times, divisive. The last thing we want to do is bring additional dissension and debate into an already tumultuous arena. But to be honest, one of the main reasons we started this podcast was to share this story in particular. It’s important to us because not only is it an important part of who we are, but also how we love. As you listen, please know that our intent isn’t to mischaracterize our faith, those who helped shape it, or, most importantly, who God is in our lives today. We sincerely hope you hear our gratitude for a God who loves us despite our flawed theology, naive decisions, and wild pursuits. Thanks for listening.
Join ACE as they sit down and shoot the breeze with @WacoBishop, Pastor Josh Carney. From dinosaurs to the formation of the Church, nothing is off-limits in this candid conversation about faith, belonging, and the questions that keep us up at night. Josh is the Pastor of UBC Waco, a 90's Christian music aficionado, an avid lover of Mountain Dew, and most importantly a dear friend to ACE. He is married to his wife and high school sweetheart Lindsay and they have 4 incredible kiddos.

Take a listen to the most vulnerable, raw episode to date!
What drives you crazy?? We asked listeners to share their pet peeves, and ACE shares theirs, too. We hope you enjoy this lighthearted episode!
