Are you carrying parts of your story that feel too painful, too messy, or too vulnerable to say out loud? 💔 In this deeply personal and completely unscripted episode, Denise shares the story she has been afraid to fully tell for years — from surviving a tragic house explosion as a baby, to growing up feeling unsafe with emotions, to using food, perfectionism, achievement, and people-pleasing to cope with life. 💭🍪 Through raw storytelling, Denise reveals how emotional eating, binge eating, body obsession, striving, and self-neglect became survival tools… and how the Lord slowly began leading her into healing, freedom, and peace. ✨ You'll hear how trauma impacts the nervous system, why food can become a source of safety and comfort, how perfectionism and performance disconnect us from ourselves, and why God cares deeply about every detail of your life and healing journey. 🙏 This episode is not polished or scripted — it's honest, vulnerable, emotional, and filled with hope for the woman who feels unseen, stuck, overwhelmed, or exhausted from trying to hold it all together. ❤️ Join the Meal Plan Waitlist here! https://weightlosswiththeholyspirit.com/mealplanwaitlist/ #WeightLossWithTheHolySpirit #CatholicWeightLoss #EmotionalEating #FoodAddictionRecovery #HealingJourney

Instead, Denise explains how to create a simple, peaceful, easy-to-stick-to meal plan that actually fits your real life ✨🍽️ From learning how to plan for the day you're actually living 📅 to giving yourself options, enjoying your food, and finally stopping the "should/shouldn't" food battles in your mind 🧠💭, this episode will help you understand why sustainable weight loss begins with learning a skill—not starting another diet.

Are you wondering if GLP-1s are the answer to finally quieting food noise and feeling at peace around food? 🤔 In this episode, Denise sits down with a Catholic physician to walk you through what these medications actually do in your body—and what they don't do. You'll learn why GLP-1s can reduce hunger and preoccupation with food, how they impact your brain and metabolism 🧠, and why weight loss is not simply about willpower or eating less. Denise also helps you understand the deeper layers of emotional eating, stress, and learned coping patterns 💛 that medication alone cannot heal, and how lasting freedom comes from addressing both the physical and emotional sides of your relationship with food. This conversation will help you see clearly what's happening in your body, remove confusion and shame, and guide you toward a more peaceful, integrated approach to weight loss with God at the center ✝️🙏✨ Join the Meal Plan Waitlist here! https://weightlosswiththeholyspirit.com/mealplanwaitlist/
Are you tired of thinking about food all day and wondering why it feels so loud in your mind? 🎙️ In this episode, Denise explains what food noise really is, why it is not your fault, and why the real solution is not more dieting, more food rules, or more willpower 🧠. She shares her own story of living with constant thoughts about food and helps you understand the three root causes of food noise: learning that your body was not okay, learning that your emotions were not safe to express, and repeating patterns of restriction that trained your brain to fixate on food 🔁. You'll learn why food noise gets worse over time, why chronic dieting can intensify it, and why healing begins by creating safety with food and inviting the Lord into this struggle ✝️🙏. Denise also introduces the first skills that begin to quiet food noise so you can move toward peace with food, freedom from constant judgment, and a healthy weight without obsession 🌿✨ Get on the Waitlist for the "Making a Plan You Actually WANT to stick to" Intensive: https://weightlosswiththeholyspirit.com/mealplanwaitlist/

Do you feel stuck with food and your weight—even though you know exactly what you should be doing? 🎙️💛 In this conversation, Denise joins Rita Johnson to introduce The Surrendered Method and explain why this struggle is not an intelligence problem or a willpower problem. Denise shares how stress, nervous system patterns, and years of using food to cope can create automatic behaviors that feel impossible to change 🧠🍪.

You're not broken—and you're not failing. 💛 In this powerful conversation, Denise sits down with a nervous system expert to answer the question so many women are quietly asking: Why do I know what to do… but still can't do it? 🎙️ Together, they unpack how your brain and nervous system are actually wired for survival, not perfection, and how patterns like stress eating, self-sabotage, people pleasing, and inconsistency are often protective responses—not personal failures 🙏. You'll learn about the five stress responses, how they shape your habits with food and weight loss, and why willpower alone isn't enough to create lasting change.
