Faith-Filled Food Freedom | Disordered Eating, Body Image, Weight Loss Obsession, Anxiety, Nutrition

What if your body image isn’t just about how you look—but what you believe?You might not think your body image is “that bad.” You’re functioning. You’re showing up. But underneath the surface, there’s this constant mental chatter—what to wear, how you look, what others think. And it’s exhausting.

Together, we’re diving into the deeper layers of body image, beyond just confidence or self-esteem, and uncovering why this struggle is often more spiritual than you think.A few things you can expect to hear in this episode include…🧠 How to recognize when body image thoughts are quietly consuming your mental space🎯 The connection between body image struggles and distraction from your purpose🪞 Why confidence alone won’t fix how you feel about your body🚫 The common lie that you need to “fix your body” before God can use you🌱 A simple, faith-rooted way to begin shifting your thoughts about your bodyResources mentioned:> Gran Brandice’s new book, Fully Nourished.> Subscribe to Brittany's personal newsletter, The Full Plate Press, for weekly food freedom tips, funny memes, and personal stories from behind-the-scenes shenanigans to mom life craziness to personal lessons you can apply to your food freedom journey.> Get immediate access to The Joy-Filled Eater Course for the proven process that’s helped dozens upon dozens of women achieving lasting food freedom and better body image.> Join our FREE Facebook community, Food Freedom & Body Image Support for Christian Women, to ask your questions about cultivating a joy-filled relationship with food, your body, & Jesus.Want to help support this show?If you love the show and are finding it valuable, be sure to leave a 5-star rating and review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.

What if your fear of weight gain isn’t actually about your body at all?You might feel like you’re constantly trying to keep things “in check”… watching your body, your food, your habits—just to make sure nothing changes. And even when things feel stable, there’s still that low-level anxiety sitting in the background. Like if something shifts, everything might unravel.In today’s episode, we’re gently pulling back the curtain on what’s really driving that fear. You’ll start to see why hitting a certain weight or maintaining a certain size never actually brings the peace you thought it would.

Why does food take up so much space in your mind… and why can’t you just “stop thinking about it”?You feel like you’re constantly thinking about food—what to eat, what to avoid, what you’ll eat later. It’s exhausting. And no matter how hard you try to be “more disciplined,” nothing seems to stick. That cycle of overthinking, guilt, and starting over keeps pulling you right back in.But what if your struggle with food obsession isn’t a lack of control… but a signal from something deeper?In today’s episode, we’re unpacking what’s really driving that constant mental chatter about food—and why trying harder isn’t the answer.

Is strength training helpful for your health—or could it pull you back into body obsession?If you’ve ever felt curious about lifting weights but also a little hesitant, you’re not alone. For many women walking toward food freedom, exercise can feel complicated. You might want to care for your body… but you also don’t want to fall back into calorie-burning mindsets, comparison traps, or pressure to change your body.That tension is real. And it’s worth talking about honestly.In today’s episode, I’m joined by dietitian and strength coach Rachel DeSonier for a thoughtful conversation about strength training—what it actually looks like, why it matters for your health, and how to approach it in a way that supports your body without fueling body obsession.A few things you can expect to hear in this episode include…💪 Why so many women feel intimidated by strength training—and what’s actually behind that fear🏋️‍♀️ The surprising mindset shift that can completely change how you approach exercise🧠 How strength training can impact confidence, stress, and your relationship with your body⚖️ The difference between building strength and chasing body control✨ A few simple ways to begin exploring strength training without falling into comparison or pressureResources mentioned:> Download Rachel’s 100g Protein Cheat Sheet> Join my absolute FAVORITE strength training and wellness app for Christian women, The Stronger Collective (*Disclaimer: This is my referral partner link, but I only share tools & resources I love and use myself!)> Subscribe to Brittany's personal newsletter, The Full Plate Press, for weekly food freedom tips, funny memes, and personal stories from behind-the-scenes shenanigans to mom life craziness to personal lessons you can apply to your food freedom journey.> Get immediate access to The Joy-Filled Eater Course for the proven process that’s helped dozens upon dozens of women achieving lasting food freedom and better body image.> Join our FREE Facebook community, Food Freedom & Body Image Support for Christian Women, to ask your questions about cultivating a joy-filled relationship with food, your body, & Jesus.Want to help support this show?If you love the show and are finding it valuable, be sure to leave a 5-star rating and review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.

What if your food noise isn’t about food at all… but about mental clutter?When your brain feels like it’s constantly spinning… what you ate, what you should eat, how you look, what you need to fix. It’s exhausting. You love the Lord. You want food freedom. But your thoughts feel loud, crowded, and relentless. And sometimes you wonder if this is just how your brain works.In today’s episode, I’m joined by Tracy Hoth — certified life and organizing coach, creator of Organized Life Academy, and host of the top 1% globally ranked Organized Coach Podcast. Tracy is on a mission to help women simplify their homes and lives, and in this conversation, she shows you how her decluttering framework applies directly to your thought life.

What if the reason food feels so hard right now isn’t a lack of discipline, but unprocessed grief your body has been carrying for years?You may feel like you should be “past this by now,” especially if your grief doesn’t look dramatic or obvious. But when grief goes unseen, it often shows up through control, coping, and patterns with food that leave you exhausted and confused. Loving Jesus doesn’t make you immune to survival mode, and that disconnect can feel incredibly lonely.In today’s episode, I sit down with grief mentor Teresa Davis for an honest, faith-centered conversation about the kind of grief that lives in your body and quietly shapes your relationship with food. We explore the difference between coping and healing, why control can feel so comforting, and what it really means to surrender—not in theory, but in real life. This conversation is gentle, deep, and full of hope if you’ve been longing for freedom but don’t know where to start.A few things you can expect to hear in this episode include…🕯️ How grief can exist even if you don’t consciously think of yourself as “grieving”🌊 Why coping feels productive, but often keeps you stuck🪞 The hidden identity loss that can surface in eating disorder recovery🫱🏽‍🫲🏼 What it actually means to let grief be witnessed (and why it matters)🕊️ A different picture of surrender that feels safer than “letting go”Resources mentioned:Hear more from Teresa on The Grief Mentor Podcast (specifically the episodes on spiritual warfare)> Subscribe to my personal newsletter, The Full Plate Press, for weekly food freedom tips, funny memes, and personal stories from behind-the-scenes shenanigans to mom life craziness to personal lessons you can apply to your food freedom journey.> Get immediate access to The Joy-Filled Eater Course for the proven process that’s helped dozens upon dozens of women achieving lasting food freedom and better body image.> Join our FREE Facebook community, Food Freedom & Body Image Support for Christian Women, to ask your questions about cultivating a joy-filled relationship with food, your body, & Jesus.Want to help support this show?If you love the show and are finding it valuable, be sure to leave a 5-star rating and review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.

What do you do when your body changes because of medication—and the guilt, grief, and body image thoughts won’t quiet down?Maybe you started a medication to support your mental or physical health, and your body responded in ways you didn’t expect. Now you’re caught in an exhausting tension: wanting to honor your health while grieving the body you used to recognize. You’re trying to trust God with this process, but the shame, fear, and second-guessing around your body keep creeping in.In today’s episode, I’m joined by Erin Kerry for a deeply honest conversation about what it’s like when your body feels like it has betrayed you. We explore the emotional, physical, and spiritual layers of unwanted weight changes, medication side effects, and body image struggles—without rushing to fixes or minimizing the grief that can come with healing.A few things you can expect to hear in this episode include…💭 What’s really happening beneath the surface when body image spirals after medication changes🧠 Why your nervous system plays a bigger role in body trust than you may realize🙏 How faith can make space for grief, emotions, and healing—without shame🌱 A gentler way to think about nourishment when control feels safer than trust🤍 Why feeling disconnected from your body doesn’t mean you’re failing at food freedomResources mentioned:> Order Erin’s book, Live Beyond Your Label.> Subscribe to my personal newsletter, The Full Plate Press.> Get immediate access to The Joy-Filled Eater Course for the proven process that’s helped dozens upon dozens of women achieving lasting food freedom and better body image.> Join our FREE Facebook community, Food Freedom & Body Image Support for Christian Women, to ask your questions about cultivating a joy-filled relationship with food, your body, & Jesus.Want to help support this show?If you love the show and are finding it valuable, be sure to leave a 5-star rating and review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.

Sleep deprivation doesn’t just make you tired. It quietly changes how food feels, how emotions show up, and how hard it is to feel at peace in your body.When you’re exhausted, cravings feel stronger, food thoughts feel louder, and self-control feels out of reach. You may know sleep matters, but in this season it feels unproductive, unrealistic, or impossible. And that tension often spills straight into food guilt and emotional eating.In today’s episode, I’m joined by Dr. Benjamin Long, a dual board-certified sleep medicine physician and seminary student who helps people see sleep as both a medical need and a gift from God. Together, we explore the connection between sleep deprivation and emotional eating, why exhaustion makes food freedom feel harder, and how faith reshapes the way we think about rest.A few things you can expect to hear in this episode include…🧠 How sleep deprivation intensifies cravings and food thoughts🍪 Why exhaustion makes emotional eating feel harder to resist📖 A biblical perspective on sleep as trust, not weakness⏳ The connection between control, productivity, and rest🌙 A gentler way to think about sleepless nights in this seasonResources mentioned:> Get Dr. Benjamin’s NEW BOOK, Sleep Habits Journal: Practices, Prayers, and Devotions to Ease Your Sleepless Nights> Connect with Dr. Benjamin Long on Instagram @thewholeheartedmdYour Next Steps to Food Freedom & Better Body Image:> Become a VIP Podcast Insider HERE to access BONUS resources and my weekly personal newsletter, The Full Plate Press.> Join our FREE Facebook community, Food Freedom & Body Image Support for Christian Women, to ask your questions about cultivating a joy-filled relationship with food, your body, & Jesus.Got a question about food freedom, body image, faith, or nutrition?

What if the question isn’t whether you’re “sick enough”… but whether your body has been paying the price in silence?So many women stay stuck in food rules and under-fueling because everything looks fine on the surface. Labs come back “normal.” Life keeps moving. And the lie whispers that help is only for people who’ve hit rock bottom — not someone like you who’s still holding it together.In today’s episode, I sit down with Tanna Vayon, a Physician Assistant specialized in eating disorder treatment, who has lived this story from the inside herself and now treats it from the clinical side. We explore what restriction actually does beneath the surface and why waiting until things look “bad enough” can quietly delay healing your body desperately needs.A few things you can expect to hear in this episode include…🧠 Why feeling “mostly fine” can be one of the most deceptive signals🩺 What medical red flags often get missed, even with “normal” labs🌿 How your body adapts to under-fueling in ways you might not realize🩸 The hidden cost of losing your period (and why it’s never a win)⏸️ The powerful first step most women skip, and why it matters SO muchResources mentioned:– Sick Enough by Dr. Jennifer Gaudiani– Search the FINDINGbalance Christian Treatment Finder for a Christian eating disorder provider– Get on the waitlist for The Stronger CollectiveYour Next Steps to Food Freedom & Better Body Image:> Become a VIP Podcast Insider HERE to access BONUS resources and my weekly personal newsletter, The Full Plate Press.> Join our FREE Facebook community, Food Freedom & Body Image Support for Christian Women, to ask your questions about cultivating a joy-filled relationship with food, your body, & Jesus.Got a question about food freedom, body image, faith, or nutrition?

Did you wake up after your holiday meal feeling guilty, uncomfortable in your body, or convinced you “need to get back on the bandwagon”?If the shame spiral hit hard this week, this episode is for you. Post-holiday guilt can make you feel frustrated with your body, stuck in obsessive food thoughts, and tempted to “make up for” what you ate. But nothing about one meal (or one day) is powerful enough to undo your health, your worth, or the work God is doing in you. This episode is here to help you breathe again, slow the panic, and find your footing.In today’s episode, Brittany walks you through a simple, compassionate way to get out of the shame spiral without restricting, punishing, or resetting anything.

What if the conversations we don’t have in the church are the ones keeping us stuck in shame?Let’s be real — sex and intimacy aren’t exactly the go-to topics at Bible study. But for so many Christian wives, struggles with body image, shame, and vulnerability show up in the bedroom, too. And ignoring it doesn’t make it any easier. It just makes us feel more isolated, frustrated, and disconnected — from our husbands and even from God.In today’s episode, Brittany sits down with two of her best friends (and fellow powerhouse coaches) Lacy Lain and Shaela Daugherty for a hilarious, honest, and holy conversation about sex, body image, and intimacy in Christian marriage. Recorded during their annual CEO retreat, this episode is equal parts belly laughs and heart-to-hearts — the kind of conversation you didn’t know you needed until now. They share what it really looks like to invite God into this part of your marriage, how to navigate embarrassment with humor and grace, and why a healthy sex life might just be more connected to your spiritual health than you think.A few things you can expect to hear in this episode include…💋 Why laughter (and awkward moments) might be a secret ingredient to intimacy🙏 How body confidence and spiritual connection work together in the bedroom🧠 The mindset shift that transforms “I’m too tired” into something more meaningful🔥 How physical intimacy spills over into your patience, peace, and joy at home💬 The real talk every Christian woman needs to hear about communication and connectionResources mentioned:> Leave a voice note for Brittany, sharing how Faith-Filled Food Freedom has impacted your life and food freedom or body image journey.

What if the real secret to lasting food freedom isn’t found in the next big thing—but in the boring, everyday basics you’ve been overlooking? 🤯So many Christian women want to live with peace around food and confidence in their bodies, but they keep chasing shiny new solutions, hoping the next “plan” will finally stick. But the truth is, those quick fixes are exhausting, and the freedom you’re praying for is usually found in the slow, steady, and sometimes boring daily habits that help you stay grounded in both faith and food.In today’s episode, Brittany is joined by her friends and fellow faith-based coaches, Lacy Lain and Shaela Daugherty, to talk all about what they lovingly call “The Boring Basics.” They’re pulling back the curtain on what consistency really looks like—especially when motivation dips, life gets messy, or your brain screams for instant results. This conversation is part pep talk, part permission slip, and fully packed with real-life encouragement for the woman who’s tired of starting over.A few things you can expect to hear in this episode include…🍳 A surprisingly refreshing take on why “boring” might be your best friend in food freedom☕ A candid conversation about motivation, mindset, and motherhood🙏 How to stay grounded in your faith when progress feels slow🌿 The overlooked habits that actually move the needle over time💬 What it really looks like to live out food freedom in real life (not just on Instagram)Resources mentioned:> Are you stressing at the thought of how to navigate food and family functions during the Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons?

This episode is your gentle reminder that healing your eating habits doesn’t require hours of free time or a perfectly clear calendar. It just takes a few intentional minutes (and a solid plan that fits inside your real-life chaos).So many Christian women tell themselves they’ll “start working on food freedom when things calm down.” But here’s the truth—life never really slows down. Between the to-do lists, laundry piles, and endless responsibilities, waiting for the “perfect time” to start only keeps you stuck.In today’s episode, Brittany breaks down exactly how to make time for food freedom even when you’re busy.
