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 – Introduction 06:00 – Hitting Rock Bottom 15:00 – Anxiety, Faith & False Idols 28:00 – Coming Back to Strength 40:00 – Why Weak Workouts Don’t Work 55:00 – Finding Peace in Faith 1:02:00 – Holy Body: The Next Chapter * Instagram: @toripenta [https://www.instagram.com/toripenta]  * Studio: Yoga Home, Austin TX [https://www.yogahomeaustin.com/] * Upcoming Events: #HolyBody * Free E-book → Download Here [https://www.livinglean.shop/] * Living Lean Program → www.livinglean.shop [https://www.livinglean.shop/] * Instagram → @bodiesbybrent [https://www.instagram.com/bodiesbybrent] * Email → brent@bodiesbybrent.com [brent@bodiesbybrent.com]  Episode Chapters Connect with Tori Connect with Brent
