Can you truly pursue food freedom if you're secretly (or not-so-secretly) still hoping the number on the scale will go down? 🤔

For so many Christian women, the desire for food freedom collides hard with the lingering hope for weight loss. Maybe you’ve ditched the diets (or at least say you have), but deep down, there’s still that little voice whispering, “But what if I could still lose just a few pounds?” It can feel confusing,...

Did your dad’s words (or total silence) about your body leave a lasting impact? It’s time to unpack it.

So many women carry invisible baggage when it comes to body image — and surprise, surprise — it often traces all the way back to dad.

What if staying consistent with your food freedom habits this summer didn’t mean doing more, but instead meant working with what you’re already doing?

When summer chaos hits—kids home 24/7, vacations, BBQs, alllll the snacks—it’s way too easy to toss your nourishing routines out the window and say, “I’ll start again in August.” But spoiler: that mindset only keeps you stuck in the cycle.

This episode is your pep talk and practical g...

Is it really bad to gain weight? That’s the question we're diving into in this eye-opening episode of Faith-Filled Food Freedom. If you’ve ever worried about gaining weight in recovery, you’re not alone — but what if weight gain isn’t the villain you’ve been taught to fear?

Is your relationship with food something you don’t want your kids to inherit?

If Mother’s Day stirs up complicated feelings about your own upbringing—especially around food, body image, or diet culture—you’re not alone. Maybe your mom meant well, but you still remember the weight comments, the chronic dieting, or the unspoken “rules” at the dinner table.

Are you white-knuckling your way through food freedom, hoping your hustle will finally “work”?

Is your “discipline” actually keeping you stuck in shame, fear, and food rules you can't seem to shake?

It’s easy to believe we’re just being “committed” or “healthy” when we say no to dessert or drag ourselves to the gym sick — especially when culture (and maybe even our church community) praises those choices. But what if those habits that look like discipline on the outside… are actually disordered behaviors on the inside?
