Where God's Word Meets Our Mess
Hi friends! Today's post has a link to a recent episode of The Joyful Health Show, where I chatted with host Kasey Shuler about how anorexia affected my life, what my recovery journey looked like, and how I ended up writing Real Recovery. I really appreciate Kasey having me on the show, and I hope you have the opportunity to listen to it soon (which you can do by clicking here)!
Remember the interview I did last year with Brittany Braswell? She's a Registered Dietician, and she started a podcast called Faith-Filled Food Freedom, where she addresses nutrition and body image from a biblical perspective. Recently, I was a guest on her podcast and talked about eating disorder recovery (especially spiritual recovery). I'm thankful to Brittany for giving me the opportunity to share. You can listen to the episode by clicking here!
Earlier this month, I was a guest on Cara Blondo's podcast, The One Thing Desired. Cara actually struggled with an eating disorder like I did, and her journey is so similar to mine. I know you'll enjoy our conversation about the ups and downs of eating disorder recovery and how God has worked through our recovery stories. I'm grateful to Cara for having me on her podcast and hope you check it out. You can find our recent conversation by clicking here!
Because I don't like my body. Honestly, I haven't for a very long time. Nothing is wrong with it—it works perfectly fine and is completely healthy. Yet it's still so hard to accept the body I have. Maybe body acceptance is a challenge for all of us as women. Because I don't like my body. Honestly, I haven't for a very long time. Nothing is wrong with it—it works perfectly fine and is completely healthy. Yet it's still so hard to accept the body I have. But isn't that just part of womanhood?
For today's post (which falls during Eating Disorders Awareness Week), I'm sharing an episode of BRAVE, a podcast I recently appeared on to talk about my journey through anorexia, my journey through recovery, and how my relationship with God was impacted. This podcast is part of FCA BRAVE (a specific ministry of Fellowship of Christian Athletes). You can find the episode here! Special thanks to Amber Johns for having me as a guest.
This post was written by author, speaker, podcaster, and cofounder of Girl Defined Ministries, Bethany Beal. I've consumed so much content from her ministry over the years, and I can't wait for you to read this post written by its cofounder! In this post, Bethany shares a personal story about body image and three truths for girls about their God-given identity.
My physical recovery was fairly quick, but it has taken (not took, but has taken) years for me to recover mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Because honestly, my eating disorder took a much bigger toll on my mind, heart, and soul than on my body.
You finally lost that weight. You finally ran that marathon. You finally gave up sugar for a month. You finally fit into your dream size. You finally mastered that workout routine. Yet something doesn’t feel right...you still don’t love your body. And you can't figure out why.
I'm so excited to post the very first video interview on TTT! In this interview, Brittany Braswell (a Christian Registered Dietician) shares her thoughts about eating disorders, body image, and nutrition. If you resonate with what she says, head over to her website!
