How To Use Faith As A Weapon Against An Eating Disorder

What Is An Eating Disorder? A Conversation Between A Mother and Daughter

Let's normalize talking about tough topics with our daughters. They deserve to have awareness about mental health conditions like eating disorders. Our girls need to have the tools to spot trouble brewing in their own minds and the minds of their friends. I love this conversation I had with my 9 year old daughter, Ava, because it proves such conversations don't have to be miserable. The serious can be seriously fun. See you inside the episode!

The Mental Health Conversation You Need To Hear

I love how honest this conversation is! Brittni Clarkson, host of Meant To Bloom podcast and I don’t hold back sharing so much of what we’ve learned over the years of our personal mental health journeys. Mental health is arguably the most important aspect of health. So we dove deep into topics such as but not limited to: * A gratitude practice that actually works * Obsession with self-development * The power of voicing your thoughts out loud * Hitting rock bottom * How good can come out of what feels bad * Running with bears and big bowls of spaghetti (haha) * It’s normal to feel like you’re going crazy * What’s “enough” for mental health * Be curious to practice what works for you * You are never the same person facing the same battle * Things don’t have to be perfect to be good   There are too many bits of wisdom to count! Grab an iced latte and your notebook before you press play. Brittni and I can’t wait to see you inside the episode :)   p.s. Being totally transparent and authentic with you is important to me. For this reason you will hear real mompreneur life toward the end of the episode when my two lovely daughters pop into the episode. I purposely chose not to edit them out because I felt it would gloss over the true message of this episode.

How To Use Faith As A Weapon Against An Eating Disorder

Faith isn’t talked about enough in the recovery space. This is why I’m here, friend. To spread this message and help you open your heart so God has access to your heart. You don’t need to hide any shame and guilt from him. Because you are worthy. Ephesians chapter 6 is a powerhouse of a chapter to use to fight for your life. You are worth it friend! Do not give up. Listen to this episode to get your grit on. Get tenacious. Get rowdy against an eating disorder. This episode will help you take a stand against self-loathing, shame, guilt and the freakin’ devil itself!

Use THIS Bible Verse To Silence A “Boasting” Eating Disorder

Is an eating disorder making you work for EVERYTHING? Working to change or maintain your body. Working to earn food. Working to accept yourself. Sweet friend, it’s time to set yourself free with a heavy dose of GRACE!  In this episode I explain how to apply Ephesians 2: 8-10 to your recovery. You will learn how to stop trying to be “enough” by being “better” or “healthier” than other people. You don’t have to prove anything in God’s Kingdom where grace and faith are EVERYTHING. Listen to this episode to immerse yourself in this truth: you don’t have to earn God’s love.

How Your Exercise Habits Influence Your Daughter

My 9 year old daughter, Ava, is back as a guest and she brought her wit and wisdom! Again! I swear this girl needs her own show. In this episode, Ava and I discuss how your exercise habits (or lack thereof) can affect your daughter. We also talk about noticing your beliefs about exercise and why it’s important to continue an exercise routine even if you have an eating disorder. And how working out is really only unreasonable at 3am in the morning (Ava’s wit *wink*). Get ready to learn and laugh with Ava and I. See you in the episode!
