In this encouraging and practical episode, Wendy sits down with Katy Miller, a certified health coach who turned chronic back pain into a God-led calling. What began as a personal battle with pain, exhaustion, and immobility became a journey of healing, stewardship, and purpose — reminding listeners that the body often becomes the doorway to obedience.
Sometimes God allows discomfort not to punish us — but to redirect us.
In this episode of Healed. Whole. Called., Wendy welcomes Katy Miller, a certified health coach and movement specialist whose story will resonate with anyone who has slowly slipped into a sedentary life without realizing the cost. Katy shares how years of desk work, long hours, and constant pushing gradually led to chronic back pain, fatigue, weight gain, and the loss of activities she once loved.
What began as occasional discomfort eventually became pain that limited her movement and confidence. Katy describes how exercise started to feel discouraging, motivation faded, and everyday life became smaller. Like many people, she didn’t notice the shift until her body began speaking louder than her schedule.
Rather than searching for a quick fix, Katy began listening.
Through experimentation and patience, she discovered that healing required meeting her body where it was — not forcing it to perform. Supported movement, particularly Reformer Pilates and intentional strength-building, allowed her to rebuild stability and trust in her body. As movement became accessible again, hope followed.
But healing didn’t stop with exercise.
Katy shares how God led her to understand nourishment as stewardship, not restriction. By learning how inflammation, hormones, and daily habits impact the body, she experienced renewed energy, clarity, and consistency. What changed wasn’t just her back — it was her relationship with her body.
As healing unfolded, calling emerged.
Katy eventually pursued formal training in health coaching, realizing her story wasn’t meant to stay personal. Today, she supports women — especially those navigating life transitions, hormonal shifts, and chronic pain — helping them reconnect with their bodies in a way that is sustainable, compassionate, and life-giving.
This episode is a reminder that pain is not always a setback. Sometimes it is an invitation — to slow down, listen, and align more closely with how God designed the body to function.
If you’ve been ignoring the signals your body has been sending, this conversation offers hope:
Healing doesn’t start with intensity.
It starts with attention.
