95 | Eating Disorder Recovery: Why Fixing Food Isn't Enough

If you've ever wondered why you know what to eat but still feel trapped in your eating disorder, this episode is for you. The truth is, eating disorders aren't usually about food—they're about what food has come to represent.
In this faith-based eating disorder recovery episode, we explore the deeper roots of food obsession, fear of weight gain, body image struggles, perfectionism, control, and anxiety.
You'll learn why food behaviors are often symptoms rather than the real problem, how fear drives eating disorder behaviors, what Jesus teaches us through the story of the Samaritan woman, and why lasting recovery begins with renewing your mind instead of simply changing your eating habits.
If you're searching for Christian eating disorder recovery, food freedom, healing from fear of weight gain, or biblical encouragement for body image, this episode will help you stop fighting symptoms and begin healing the deeper places of your heart.

94 | Terrified of Vacation Food? Don't Let Your Eating Disorder Steal Another Vacation

Does the thought of vacation make you anxious because of food, body image, or fear of weight gain? Instead of looking forward to making memories, are you already wondering what you'll eat, how you'll exercise, or whether you'll gain weight?
In this Christian eating disorder recovery podcast, we talk about vacation anxiety, fear of eating out, food rules, body image struggles, and why eating disorders thrive when routines change. You'll learn how fear disguises itself as control, why vacations reveal where we place our security, what Scripture teaches about true rest, and how Jesus invites you to experience freedom instead of spending another trip consumed by food thoughts.
If you struggle with food anxiety, fear of weight gain, body image, or eating disorder recovery during vacations, this episode will encourage you to choose presence over perfection and memories over micromanaging your body.

93 | I Was Doing So Well… So Why Did I Spiral Again?

Have you ever felt like one bad day erased weeks or even months of progress in your eating disorder recovery? If you've ever thought, "I was doing so well... and now I'm right back where I started," this episode is for you.
In this faith-based eating disorder recovery podcast, you'll learn why setbacks don't erase healing, how shame keeps women trapped in the cycle of binge eating, food restriction, body image struggles, and fear of weight gain, and what the Bible says about perseverance. We'll explore why recovery isn't linear, how your brain naturally resists change, the difference between conviction and condemnation, and why Jesus isn't asking you to recover perfectly—He's asking you to keep walking with Him.
If you're struggling with eating disorder recovery, food obsession, body image anxiety, perfectionism, or fear after a setback, this episode will help you replace shame with hope and take the next faithful step instead of starting over.

92 | If Summer Makes You Hate Your Body, Here's What Jesus Wants You to Remember

Does summer make your eating disorder louder? Do swimsuits, shorts, vacations, and pool parties leave you battling body image, comparison, fear of weight gain, and body shame? If so, you're not alone—and you don't have to spend another summer believing your body determines your worth.
In this Christian eating disorder recovery podcast episode, you'll learn why the pressure to have the "perfect summer body" is rooted in fear rather than health, how body obsession steals joy, presence, and relationships, and why Jesus invites you into freedom instead of performance. Through biblical encouragement from Luke 10, Psalm 139, and Galatians 5, you'll discover how to stop waiting for a different body before fully living the life God has given you.
If you're struggling with eating disorder recovery, body image, comparison, or fear of being seen, this episode will encourage you to trade body shame for freedom, embrace your identity in Christ, and enjoy the summer without letting your eating disorder steal another memory.

91 | Why Food Rules Will Never Give You Peace (What Jesus Offers Instead)

If you've ever believed that following the "right" food rules would finally bring you peace, you're not alone. Many Christian women struggling with eating disorders, body image, fear of weight gain, and food obsession spend years chasing safety through rules, routines, and perfection. But no amount of food rules can heal what only Jesus can restore.
In this faith-based eating disorder recovery episode, you'll discover why eating disorders thrive on rules, why perfectionism and control only create temporary relief, and what the Bible says about freedom from performance. Through Romans 7, Matthew 11, and Galatians 5, you'll learn why rules reveal brokenness but cannot heal it, how Jesus fulfilled what you never could, and why true food freedom begins with grace instead of striving.
If you're tired of obsessing over food, following endless food rules, battling body image anxiety, or wondering if you'll ever experience lasting peace, this episode will help you stop performing for your worth and start resting in the freedom Jesus already purchased for you.

90 | You Don't Lack Discipline—You're Using It Against Your Recovery

One of the biggest lies women with eating disorders believe is that they simply need more discipline. But the truth is, most women struggling with eating disorders are already incredibly disciplined. The problem isn't a lack of discipline. The problem is where that discipline is being directed.
In this Christian eating disorder recovery podcast episode, we discuss fear-based discipline versus faith-based discipline, perfectionism, food rules, over-exercising, control, body image struggles, fear of weight gain, and recovery mindset. You'll learn why eating disorders often require tremendous discipline to maintain, how short-term relief keeps you trapped, and how to redirect your determination toward freedom instead of self-destruction.
If you've ever felt frustrated with yourself for not being strong enough, disciplined enough, or committed enough, this episode will help you see that your discipline isn't the enemy. It may become one of your greatest strengths in recovery.

89 | Food Isn't the Problem—It's Just Where the Problem Shows Up

For years, I thought food was the problem. If I could just eat better, lose weight, follow the rules, and have more self-control, everything would finally get better. But no matter how much I focused on food, I kept ending up in the same place. Eventually, I realized food wasn't the issue at all. Food was simply where the deeper issue was showing up.
In this faith-based eating disorder recovery episode, we talk about the real roots of eating disorders, including fear of weight gain, perfectionism, anxiety, control, people pleasing, body image struggles, identity issues, and emotional pain. You'll learn why food rules create temporary relief instead of lasting freedom, how fear often drives eating disorder behaviors, and why healing requires looking beneath the symptoms instead of endlessly managing them.
If you're struggling with anorexia recovery, fear of weight gain, obsessive food thoughts, body image issues, food anxiety, or feeling stuck in eating disorder recovery, this episode will help you understand why food isn't the real problem—and how to begin healing what's underneath.

87 | If You're Waiting for Proof Before You Trust God, Listen to This

Have you ever found yourself waiting for God to prove Himself before fully trusting Him?
In this episode, I share the powerful story of the woman who touched Jesus' garment and reveals what actually led to her healing.

This episode is for Christian women seeking eating disorder recovery, freedom from food obsession, stronger faith, and a deeper relationship with God.
