Eating Disorder Recovery for Christian Moms | Faith, Triggers, Intuitive Eating, Comparison, Anorexia Nervosa, SAHM
Are you scared out of your mind to gain weight? Do you feel trapped in a cycle of restricting, then eating whatever you want—swinging between control and chaos? Does recovery feel lonely, hopeless, or out of reach? And on the days you do believe food freedom is possible, are you consumed with too much information? Or the idea - nobody will understand your situation?
Hi, I’m Andrea. I spent over 20 years stuck in that same exhausting loop—obsessing over food, exercise, and my body because I was desperate to be good enough. I chased perfection, constantly comparing myself to others, believing my worth depended on how I looked and what I achieved. An eating disorder and toxic body image stole my joy, my peace, and my purpose. But Jesus never left my side. He fought for me when I couldn’t fight for myself and led me to freedom I didn’t think was possible.
Now I’m here to help you find that same freedom.
This is Eating Disorder Recovery for Christian Moms, where we learn to obsess over Jesus—not calories, workouts, or the scale. Each week, we’ll focus on faith-based mindset shifts, real-life tools, and honest conversations that will help you heal your relationship with food, your body, and your heart.
Together, we’ll reclaim your self-worth and realign with your true identity in Christ. When you are well, your God-given gifts can shine fully into the world.
The world needs your light. ✨
Shine on, friend. Let’s do this!

Is your reflection in the mirror stirring up negative thoughts about the way you look? Does it feel impossible to stop noticing your so-called “flaws”? Why is this? Well, I recorded this episode to teach you why AND what to do about it. You may not want to hear the truth but I wouldn’t be a good friend if I didn’t bring it to your attention. It’d be as bad as letting you walk poolside in your bikini with toilet paper stuck to your butt-cheek. I’m better than that and so are you :)

“You are more than just a body.” What the heck does that mean? Friend, the meaning may go deeper than you ever thought possible. The reason? Because it has very little to do with the way you look. Put your goggles on and get ready to dive deep ;) And yes, I’m usually this funny. Don’t worry, you’ll be fine!

"Well! That would’ve been nice to know!"
That’s what I shrieked upon learning the three things I share in this episode. Thankfully each time I was home and my dog was the only one to look at me sideways. The shock of enlightenment fit the outburst. Let me explain. I began body shaming myself at a very young age. Many of the harmful thoughts were due to my innocence. And I carried these thoughts about my body into adulthood without questioning their truths. Are you doing the same thing to yourself? Grab your earbuds. Pat your dog’s head and listen for enlightenment.
