Even the Sparrow || faith, food freedom, body image

S2 E2: I want a better relationship with food, but I'm scared to gain weight. What do I do?

Welcome back to another episode of Even the Sparrow! Today, Nicole is addressing a fear that she often walks through with many of her clients and is one that kept her stuck in disordered eating for too long: the fear of weight gain. While choosing to pursue food freedom doesn't inherently mean that your weight will change, addressing these fears is a critical component of reaching acceptance of your body, no matter what it looks like. Rest assured, there are steps you can take to support working through the fear of weight gain, and it all starts with letting those fears be known! We get into: * how the fear of body changes kept Nicole stuck in disordered eating for too long. * 6 key points to address the fear, and tangible steps to move the healing process along. * a life-changing framework to put words to all of your thoughts and feelings around letting go of your "ideal body" and choosing body acceptance. * an encouraging reminder for the woman who's not ready to pursue body acceptance just yet, but wants to start healing her relationship with food.

S2 E1: "just trusting God more" won't fix your eating disorder (and that's okay)

Welcome back to SEASON 2 of Even the Sparrow! If you're a Christian struggling with an eating disorder, anxiety, depression, or mental health in any way, I'm sure you've heard the often well-meaning advice to simply "trust God more" and that your struggles are a result of lacking faith in Him. In Nicole's conversation with special guest Makenna Sands, LPC, a therapist specializing in EMDR, you'll be encouraged to approach your struggles from a more trauma-informed perspective, giving you the freedom to look at your situation with much less shame and whole lot more compassion! We get into: * the true definition of "trauma" (it's not what most people think) * why receiving advice to "just trust God more" is keeping you stuck in your healing process * what it sounds like to be stuck in a shame cycle of thinking around your mental health struggles, and how to show yourself more compassion * Jesus' compassionate heart towards you * what to look for in a therapist when you suspect trauma is a part of your story (or you've done traditional "talk therapy" and it hasn't worked before) Are you located in Virginia and want to get directly connected to Makenna or her practice?

S1 E10: The origin of bad body image

Welcome back to another episode of Even the Sparrow! You'll want to grab a Bible for this episode because Nicole is sharing the origin story of "bad body image" by taking us on a little journey back to Genesis. This is not your typical study of "the fall," rather, this is a deeper dive into the specific language that the Lord uses to describe how He created humans and how humans felt about themselves and their awareness of their bodies before vs. after the fall. May this episode equip you with the knowledge of how God originally created for you to feel about your body and the strength to apply this understanding to fight back against the enemy's lies! We get into: * Scripture readings in Genesis 2 and 3 * How God originally created for humans to relate to their bodies vs. how the fall distorted this * The importance of grasping God's truths about you and your body to defend against the enemy's lies *Connect more with Nicole inside the Overflow Nutrition Dietitian community on Instagram ⁠at⁠⁠⁠@overflow.nutrition.dietitian⁠⁠⁠ [instagram.com/overflow.nutrition.dietitian] *Want to hear more about what Overflow Nutrition has to offer?
