Throughout this semester in ENTR 101, Dr. Sweet has talked about the different ways to integrate our faith into what we are passionate about.  Whether it’s sports, music, art, etc., there are plenty of ways to combine the Christian faith with a business.  Dr. Melody is an inspiring young entrepreneur who did just that.  Originally, Dr. Melody was a doctor of physical therapy and then acquired skills in coaching and mentoring as a health and life coach.  She was inspired to combine these skills with her passion for her faith to encourage physical, mental, and spiritual health. 

From this inspiration, Dr. Melody founded Fit + Faith International.  The mission of this organization is to “empower and equip God’s Daughters in growing in their health, faith and life to blossom into who He created them to be.”  Dr. Melody saw herself struggling with prioritizing physical health in the busyness of life and wanted to help herself as well as other women.  She is passionate about encouraging women in a way that is helpful, biblical, and loving.

Her organization offers several different services and tips for healthy living. Dr. Melody runs a podcast called, “The Healthy Christian Women Podcast.”  Additionally, she has spoken at different events and holds a Breakthrough program.  There are also meal and exercise plans posted on her website.

I think that this is a really unique way to combine talents with passion!  Dr. Melody is clearly a qualified individual who genuinely wants to encourage women to be the best versions of themselves.  Also, Fit + Faith has a blog that really dives into the tough, difficult topics.  Dr. Melody talks about how to be truly healthy – not just working for an “ideal” body.  I really appreciate the inclusivity of this organization, and I think that its mission to encourage women in truth and love is really great.
