Ever feel like your reflection is silently judging you for every wrinkle and pound?
So many Christian women wrestle with the tension of aging gracefully while navigating the pressure to “stay young” and maintain a certain body image. Throw in diet culture and social media comparisons, and it’s no wonder so many of us feel like we’re failing, either spiritually, physically, or both.
In today’s episode, Heather Creekmore joins Brittany to unpack the lies we believe about aging, weight, and appearance. They get real about the pressure to look a certain way as a Christian woman and explore how we can embrace our God-given bodies at every stage of life. This conversation isn’t about denying reality. It’s about discovering freedom, joy, and confidence while letting go of shame and self-comparison.
A few things you can expect to hear in this episode include…
✨ The sneaky mindset traps that make you obsessed with wrinkles or weight
💪 Why aging gracefully isn’t just about skincare or exercise
😂 Hilarious and relatable stories about trying (and failing) to fight time
🙏 How faith can transform your relationship with your body
💡 Simple, surprising ways to embrace your God-given beauty today
