If weight stigma has ever made you afraid to walk into church, or to trust that Jesus wants you exactly as you are, this conversation is worth your time. Anna Marie Long is a registered dietitian and certified eating disorder specialist who brings both her clinical training and her own story of learning that food, body, and faith were never meant to be separate. She walks through what real healing from weight stigma looks like: grieving the years spent at war with your body, letting scr...
If a comment about your body from a pastor, church leader, someone at a potluck, or a doctor has ever left you feeling judged instead of loved, you aren’t alone. We’ve been there, too. Leslie Schilling is back on the show, and this time she and Chrissy go somewhere hard: weight stigma in the church. Leslie breaks down the difference between weight bias and weight stigma, and why the safest place you know might be where it's hiding. She also offers gentle, honest words you can use to talk with...
If you've been told to trust your body but don't know how to get there, and diet culture has been the only language you've ever been taught, press play on this one. Chrissy hits rewind on a conversation with Amy Carlson, a registered dietitian and co-founder of the Peace With Food app, to discuss what Christian intuitive eating looks like in practice. Amy has spent over 20 years helping women recover from eating disorders, and in this conversation she names why so many people hand their hunge...
If eating disorder recovery feels like progress some days and a fight against yourself on others, this episode is for you. Chrissy pulls a favorite from the archives with Brittany Braswell, registered dietitian and recovery coach, to name the three mistakes that quietly stall food freedom: waiting for your body to change before treating it kindly, chasing intuitive eating without the deeper work, and reaching for coping skills that never meet the real need underneath. Brittany shares the seve...
If movement has always felt complicated, tangled up with body image, or the pressure to do more and look different, this episode is for you. Chrissy sits down with Leah Bryant, the producer of Old School Food Freedom, who woke up one day unable to feel anything below the waist. What followed was emergency spinal surgery, a cauda equina syndrome diagnosis, thirty days in rehab, and a slow, faith-filled journey back to walking on her own. Together, they talk about what body gratitude really loo...
If you have ever dreaded swimsuit season, felt that familiar wave of shame when the layers come off, or spent another summer hiding from your own life because of how you feel about your body, you’ll want to hear this episode. Chrissy sits down with psychotherapist Angelica Gonzalez for an honest conversation about overcoming body shame and what it looks like to move toward your body with compassion instead of contempt. Together, they cover where the shame voice comes from, why swimsuit season...
If you have ever felt trapped in the same exhausting thought loops, the impatience, the resentment, the frustration, no matter how hard you try to think your way out, you'll want to hear this episode. Dr. Alisa Shanks is a licensed psychologist who loves Jesus and neuroscience, and in Part 2 of this conversation, she brings both to bear on something that will change the way you think about healing. Because brain science is confirming what scripture has said all along, and the path to fr...
If you know the verse "Take every thought captive," but still feel completely at the mercy of the thoughts that won't stop coming, this episode is for you. Dr. Alisa Shanks is a licensed clinical psychologist with over two decades of experience in eating disorder recovery and university mental health, and she believes wholeheartedly in full recovery. What she brings to this conversation began not in a studio but in a therapy session, when the Holy Spirit planted something she couldn't stop th...
