Faith-Filled Food Freedom | Disordered Eating, Body Image, Weight Loss Obsession, Anxiety, Nutrition

What if the way you’re approaching your 2026 goals is quietly working against the very freedom you’re praying for?

As the year wraps up, there’s often an unspoken pressure to get ahead — to think harder, plan better, and finally figure yourself out. That urgency can feel responsible and faithful, but it can also carry a weight that shows up as food stress, body anxiety, and constant mental chatter.

In today’s episode, we’re slowing t...

Welcome to Day 2 of our 5 Days to a Peace-Filled Christmas series!

Does your food anxiety get louder the moment holiday overwhelm hits?

When your mind is juggling pressure, expectations, emotional fatigue, and an endless to-do list, your nervous system shifts into survival mode, and suddenly food feels louder, scarier, and more urgent. Not because you lack willpower, but because overwhelm is hijacking your sense of safety.

Are you already dreading the food and body comments you know are coming this Christmas?

Those offhand remarks from family (like the comments about your plate, your body, or their latest diet) can hit some of the most tender places in your heart. They often come out of nowhere, and before you realize it, your brain is spiraling, your body tenses up, and peace feels like it just left the room. And that pressure makes it so easy to ove...

As body image anxiety ramps up for Christian women during the holiday season, the mental load often gets heavier, louder, and messier… kind of like when Brittany accidentally baptized her entire kitchen floor in a gallon of spilled milk. Thi...

What if the conversations we don’t have in the church are the ones keeping us stuck in shame?

Let’s be real — sex and intimacy aren’t exactly the go-to topics at Bible study. But for so many Christian wives, struggles with body image, shame, and vulnerability show up in the bedroom, too. And ignoring it doesn’t make it any easier. It just makes us feel more isolated, frustrated, and disconnected — from our husbands and even from God...

Ever found yourself on Google or ChatGPT at 11:47 PM searching, “What diet will finally work for me?”  If so, this episode is for you.

From keto and calorie counting to detoxes and “clean” eating, Christian women are constantly told that this one will finally be the answer. But deep down, we know the truth: it never really delivers the peace or freedom we’re craving.

What if the real secret to lasting food freedom isn’t found in the next big thing—but in the boring, everyday basics you’ve been overlooking? 🤯

So many Christian women want to live with peace around food and confidence in their bodies, but they keep chasing shiny new solutions, hoping the next “plan” will finally stick. But the truth is, those quick fixes are exhausting, and the freedom you’re praying for is usually found in the sl...

Have you ever wondered if your struggle with food makes you sinful? Or maybe you’ve heard verses about “gluttony” and instantly felt guilt or shame creep in?

So many Christian women are caught in a cycle of confusion — trying to honor God with their bodies, but unsure where the line is between enjoying food and “overeating.” This episode breaks down what the Bible actually says about gluttony, appetite, and freedom in Christ — witho...

Is your body fighting against you… or is it trying to tell you something?

So many Christian women wrestle with the same question: Why does my body feel out of balance when I’m doing everything “right”? Between hormone swings, low energy, and the constant pressure to look a certain way, it’s easy to slip into the lie that your body is broken — or that you just need more discipline to fix it.

In this episode, Brittany sits down with Dr...

Is “clean eating” actually helping your health… or quietly fueling your food guilt and perfectionism?

So many Christian women start out wanting to “eat clean” as a way to take better care of their bodies—but somewhere along the way, those pure intentions can turn into obsession, fear, and shame. Instead of feeling confident and free, they’re left second-guessing every bite and labeling foods as either “good” or “bad.”

This episode t...

Ever feel like there’s never enough time in the day to take care of yourself—let alone your relationship with food? This episode is your gentle reminder that healing your eating habits doesn’t require hours of free time or a perfectly clear calendar.

So many Christian women tell themselves they’ll “start working on food freedom when thi...

What if food freedom isn’t as far away, or as picture-perfect, as you’ve been led to believe?

So many Christian women chasing “food freedom” think it’s about never craving dessert again, always loving their body, or magically silencing every food thought for good. But the truth is, real, lasting food freedom doesn’t look like that at all. It’s not about perfection. It’s about peace. It’s about creating mental space, flexibility, and...
