Day 35. After getting back from my trip I ended up doing a 24 hour fast. I did not plan it, I just listened to my body and went with it. And honestly it was not that bad. I’m transitioning to a more meat based approach and really focusing on what works for me in this season instead of forcing strict rules. The newest episode of The Kristin Carrera Podcast is out now where I go deeper into my 30 day carnivore challenge, how I “failed,” and how I’m reframing my mindset. Head over to listen. Link in bio. Have you ever done a 24 hour fast? How did it feel for you? Podcast:

Honestly, this is me in prayer like, okay Lord, I trust You. But can You explain it again, slower, and maybe with pictures? Because I am not fully catching the vision yet. On a serious note, learning to trust God even when I do not understand the plan has been one of the hardest and most humbling parts of my faith. I am realizing that faith is not about having all the answers. It is about choosing to trust Him in the middle of the questions. If you are in a season where things feel unclear, you are not behind. You are not doing it wrong. You are just learning how to trust. How do you talk to God when you feel confused about His plans? Proverbs 3:5-6 – Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight. Jeremiah 29:11 – For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Isaiah 55:8-9 – For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord.

New podcast episode is out: I recorded a podcast episode about “failing” and “cheating” on carnivore, and why I don’t actually see it as failure anymore. Life happens, events happen, and food is sometimes out of our control. What matters is how you respond and whether you keep going. This journey isn’t about perfection. It’s about learning your body, letting go of fear around food, and finding what works for you long term. If you’ve had a bumpy week, this one’s for you.

Day 21/30 day Carnivore Challenge Yesterday was one of those really heavy days. I was stressed and emotional and knew I needed prayer. I spent the day praying and just trying to get through it. At night, when I finally sat down with my devotional, it opened to the exact passage I needed. It was a reminder that God hears us in real time. Not later, not after we figure it all out. Right then. Even in the middle of the challenge, I’m reminded that this journey isn’t just about food. Life still happens. Stress still happens. But faith keeps me grounded when everything else feels heavy. One day at a time. That’s all we need. Here is my YouTube short:

Day 11 carnivore update and a real-life eating out moment 😂 Went to the movies and asked how the wings were cooked. First I was told one thing, then later they said something completely different. My mom ordered a burger and we tried to add extra patties. Pricing got confusing and in the end she just paid $11 for two thin patties. Not ideal, but we made it work. Eating out like this can be tricky on carnivore, so I try to go prepared, ask questions, and have a backup plan. Sometimes it’s messy, but you do the best you can in the moment.

Day 8 check in. Definitely feeling the lack of sleep today after staying up for the UM game, but that win was worth it. I honestly felt pretty rough before the game and wasn’t even sure I’d make it through the night. Then things shifted and surprised me. I talk about it a lot in my latest YouTube Short—you can check it out here: This carnivore reset has reminded me that progress isn’t linear. Some days feel good, some days feel tired, and both still count. Showing up on the harder days matters just as much. Did anyone else stay up for the game too? How’d you feel after that win? #carnivore #podcast #um

Day 7 of carnivore for me today and I’m feeling a little of what’s called the keto flu. Basically, it’s when your body is adjusting and you might feel a bit low or tired for a few days. I talk more about what it is and how to get through it in my latest podcast if you want to check it out: Anyone else noticing anything different this week?

Day 6 of 30. See full YouTube shirt here: I want to be really honest about how this feels right now. I feel a little achy and kind of low energy today. Not in a scary way, just that early adjustment phase where your body is figuring things out. I was already mostly meat based before this, but tightening things up still comes with an adjustment. That is the part people do not talk about enough, and it is usually the moment people think something is wrong or decide to stop. Nothing is wrong. I am still eating. I am salting my food. I am drinking water. I am resting more than usual and letting my body do what it needs to do. If you are doing this challenge with me and you feel similar, you are not alone. I would love to know what day you are on and how you are feeling today. Disclaimer: This is for informational and educational purposes only and is not medical advice.

You ever have those seasons where God feels so far away, like He is watching from a distance but you can’t hear Him? That was me. I was walking through life, going through the motions, and feeling this emptiness I couldn’t shake. I asked the hard questions. Does He even see me? Am I too far gone? Honestly, I didn’t have all the answers. But I started noticing the small ways He was still present. A verse that hit at the right moment, a word from a friend, a moment of peace in the chaos. In this episode, I share my journey through that distance, the doubts, the messiness, and what eventually helped me feel connected again. If you have ever felt lost, far from God, or unsure if He is listening, this one is for you. 🎙️ Listen here: I would love to hear, have you ever felt this distance? How did you navigate it?

Lately I have been thinking about how God does not always get our attention in loud or dramatic ways. For me it was subtle. Random thoughts about church. Feeling like I should actually open my Bible instead of just thinking about it. Small moments with my kids that stirred something deeper, even when I was not looking for God. In this week’s podcast episode I share what happened when I stopped brushing that off and started saying yes in small, ordinary ways. Nothing fancy. Just simple steps that slowly changed how my days felt. Have you ever experienced that quiet tug on your heart? What did it look like for you? Listen here: #nostr #podcast #biblestudy

I was a mess for a long time. Anxiety all day. So tired I could barely function. Brain fog on top of microscopic colitis. I kept trying to fix it. Keto. Gut protocols. More veggies, less meat. Everyone said it was healthy and I kept feeling worse. In today’s podcast I share what finally started to help when I changed how I was eating and kept it simple with meat based meals.

I almost quit all of this. Podcast. Content. Sharing my story at all. Life felt too full. Three boys. Home. My health. Trying to show up online with an ADHD brain that was already overloaded. So I stepped back. I needed quiet and I needed to get honest about what was and was not working. In my first Podcast Episode back after almost 6 months off, I share why I took a break, how I am shifting to a simple meat based way of eating, and how faith fits into all of it. If you are a tired mom who wants to feel better, love God, work with your ADHD brain and feed your family in a way that actually fits your life, this episode is for you.

I have been quiet on here for a bit and spending a lot more time in my Bible. It has me asking God what would actually be the most helpful thing for me to share in this season. I am bringing my podcast back and I want what I post here to line up with that instead of just throwing out random content. Right now I keep circling around four lanes: ✨CARNIVORE + MEAT BASED and how it changed my health ✨ KIDS HEALTHY EATING and keeping food simple at home ✨ MOM LIFE WITH ADHD AND KIDS WITH ADHD and learning to work with our brains ✨ FAITH + BIBLE STUDY and trying to walk this out in a messy life If you had to pick one for me to go deeper on over the next few months, which one would you choose and why? Comment with the word that fits you most: CARNIVORE KIDS ADHD FAITH I would really love to hear your honest answer.

I didn’t expect to actually look forward to reading the Bible every day. It’s been 4 weeks straight that I’ve opened it and read every single day. I’ve been using the Bible app to help me pray and stay consistent, and it’s become something I truly enjoy. The Bible is so interesting once you start reading it. It’s this incredible story that pulls you in and makes you want to keep going. I find myself wanting to know what happens next. Staying consistent with anything can be hard, but once you turn it into a habit it starts to feel natural. They say it takes about 21 days to build one, and I can see why. I’d love to connect with others who are in this same place, or even just thinking about starting. Has reading the Bible been on your mind lately? #biblestudy #habits #momlife #sahmom

I used to walk past my Bible every day. Now I can’t start my day without it. Lately I’ve been reflecting a lot. I’ve felt like some things have been out of my control, and that makes me anxious, worried, and scared. Life keeps moving, and sometimes that can make a person feel lost. With everything that’s been happening in the world, I started noticing more people talking about the Bible. I’ve had mine since I was a teenager. My uncle gave it to me. I’ve tried picking it up a few times over the years but never got very far. I grew up Catholic, but I never really felt that comfort or connection people talk about. It’s hard to explain, but I never felt deeply connected to a church before. Still, it’s been on my mind for a while now to start going back, to talk about the Bible with my kids, and to teach them about Jesus and God. Then my oldest son told me he wanted to go to church, so we finally found one. We’ve been going for the past two weekends. Even before that, I started reading my Bible every day. I can’t explain it fully, but I feel this pull to read, to learn, to connect. I know I’m rambling a bit, but building this habit of reading and feeling that calling is something new for me, even at 42. If you’ve never felt that connection, I just want to remind you to open the Bible. Start reading. Start understanding. Sometimes I even use ChatGPT to help me understand certain things. I know that might sound funny, but with my ADHD brain, it helps me process and learn better. Use whatever tools help you grow. I’ve always believed you don’t need to go to church to pray to God, but after going these past two weekends, I can say there’s something special about being in that space with others who share the same faith. And yes, it’s only been two times so far, but we plan to keep going. It’s amazing how just two weekends can change the way you feel when you find a church that you start to connect with. It’s never too late to start. Even if it’s one page, one prayer, one Sunday at a time. If you’ve been feeling that same pull, don’t ignore it. Just start somewhere. I don’t know where this path will lead yet, but I finally feel like I’m where I’m supposed to be. Maybe that’s what faith is, finding your way back one small step at a time. Do you read the Bible? Have you been to church lately? Have you been thinking about it? Share your thoughts and let’s talk. #faith #biblestudy #womenandjesus #coffeechat #gm

No one ever tells you that you’ll have to redo kindergarten to 12th grade multiple times as an adult depending on how many kids you have. These science fair projects are more for the parents than the kids. Prove me wrong. #sahm #scienceproject #momlife
