In this powerful episode of Reshape and Recover, Julie and Tony explore Step Five of the 12-step journey. Admitting our shortcomings can be difficult, but confession, honesty, and Christ-centered support can break the cycle of secrecy and emotional eating.
Many of us carry regrets and shame in secret, especially around food. But healing doesn’t happen in hiding. This step invites us to break free from secrecy and self-condemnation by sharing our story with someone safe — and experiencing the grace and freedom God offers.
💬 In this episode, we cover:
• Why secrecy keeps us stuck in compulsive eating
• How shame can be broken by truth and trusted connection
• What makes a good person to share your Fifth Step with
• Why telling your story is key to lasting recovery
• Biblical encouragement from 1 John 1:9, James 5:16, Romans 8:1, and more
Whether you’re afraid to begin Step Five or just wondering how it relates to your food recovery, this episode will encourage you to let go of shame and walk into the light — with honesty, healing, and hope in Christ.
