Faith, Fitness & False Idols: Tori’s Path to Peace
This week, Brent sits down with Tori Penta — athlete, yoga teacher, and founder of Holy Body — to talk about the messy, beautiful journey of transformation.Tori opens up about life after a decade-long relationship, hitting rock bottom with mental health, and moving to Austin to rebuild her life from the ground up. With honesty, humor, and heart, she shares how training with Brent helped her reconnect with her athletic roots, rebuild strength after a back injury, and rediscover confidence in her body.This conversation dives into the intersection of faith, fitness, and discipline — from navigating the spiritual “false prophets” of Austin, to finding peace in Jesus, to creating a new movement practice that blends yoga, breath, and worship.If you’ve ever felt lost, anxious, or stuck chasing someone else’s version of health and beauty, Tori’s story will inspire you to take back your power, embrace strength, and root your life in something real.00:00 – Introduction06:00 – Hitting Rock Bottom15:00 – Anxiety, Faith & False Idols28:00 – Coming Back to Strength40:00 – Why Weak Workouts Don’t Work55:00 – Finding Peace in Faith1:02:00 – Holy Body: The Next Chapter​Instagram: @toripenta ​Studio: Yoga Home, Austin TX​Upcoming Events: #HolyBody​Free E-book → Download Here​Living Lean Program → www.livinglean.shop​Instagram → @bodiesbybrent​Email → [email protected] Episode Chapters Connect with Tori Connect with Brent

Katie West & Laura North: We Begged Brent to Train Us… and Survived to Tell the Tale
What happens when two creative powerhouses — one a mom decide to stop talking about getting fit and actually start lifting heavy things with Brent? Chaos. Laughter. Soreness. And a whole lot of transformation.In this episode of Bodies by Brent, Katie West and Laura North share how they basically stalked Brent until he agreed to train them (their words, not ours). They talk about walking into the gym nervous, surviving their first workouts, and realizing that strength training was exactly what they needed — not just for their bodies, but for their business, families, and sanity.Somewhere between deadlifts and dumbbells, Katie & Laura also manage to run Headspace Salon & Cooperative — a beauty collective that’s just as much about community as it is about hair. We dive into how fitness fuels their creativity, how Laura balances motherhood and entrepreneurship, and why training has been the ultimate secret weapon for confidence.This one’s part fitness story, part business lesson, and part comedy hour.📌 Episode Chapters00:00 – 07:30 | “Brent, Please Train Us!”: How Katie & Laura convinced Brent to let them join the Bodies by Brent crew.07:30 – 24:00 | Surviving the First Workouts: Spoiler --- they lived.
