Click to Text Thoughts on Today's Episode
As part of the Graced Health Sunset Series, I sit down with Shaela Daugherty — certified personal trainer, nutrition coach, and host of the Simple Fitness Habits podcast, where she helps Christian women simplify their health and fitness without the guilt or the overwhelm.
Shaela's story took an unexpected turn in late 2025, when she was diagnosed with breast cancer at 33 and thrust — almost overnight — into permanent, treatment-induced menopause. In this conversation, she shares how that diagnosis reshaped her approach to health, why simplicity became a matter of survival, and how she's helping women return to consistency again and again, even in the messiest seasons of life. We also talk about her Stronger Collective community, the tools she's built to make workouts realistic on hard days, and the one episode she'd point you to first.
