I’m sitting down at 32 weeks pregnant for an off-the-cuff chat about the unexpected lessons this season has brought me. Navigating pregnancy right on the heels of eating disorder and HA recovery hasn’t been easy, especially in a culture obsessed with “perfect” prenatal nutrition and bounce-back bodies. In this episode, I’m sharing 8 truths I’ve learned about letting go of control, embracing rest,...

Today I am sharing a talk I gave at our church’s recent women’s retreat. While it is not specifically about eating disorders or hypothalamic amenorrhea, it speaks to the heart of many of the struggles I faced in recovery and continue to work through today. My prayer is that it would encourage you wherever you are at in your own journey. And if you think it may encourage a friend, I would love for...

Have you ever claimed “perfectionism” as your greatest weakness in an interview, secretly proud of your discipline? You aren’t alone. But what if perfectionism isn’t a virtue, but actually a shield we use against shame? In this episode, we are digging into the exhaustion of trying to be flawless and why it ultimately hinders our walk with God. This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss...

This week, I thought we would do something different! During my period recovery journey, there were days that no words could express the pain I was experiencing. I felt alone and misunderstood. Music became my refuge as I drove, journaled, and stress-cleaned the house. Many times, these songs would remind me of the truth of Scripture when the Bible felt like distant words on a page. I compiled the...

Let’s be honest: fasting is often just a fancy word for restriction, and our hormones know the difference. Today, I’m breaking down why the intermittent fasting 'hack' is actually a hurdle for most women (especially if you're trying to get your period back). I’m sharing the research on why we aren't 'small men' and why I’m trading the fasting timer for a big bowl of cereal every single night. Link...

Freedom isn’t just about leaving your food rules behind—it’s about what you step into. In this episode, we dive into the book of Galatians to see how the same "yoke of slavery" that Paul warned about can show up today as rigid food rules and exercise schedules.

What do you do when you don’t feel like reading your Bible or going to church? In this episode, I share how my recovery from an eating disorder changed my perspective on spiritual disciplines. Just as the body must sometimes be "mechanically" fed to heal, our souls require consistent nourishment, even when the desire is absent. Join me as I discuss how to reset your spiritual hunger cues and trade...

In this podcast episode, I share my testimony: My story about how God has faithfully worked in my life through seasons of control, suffering, and waiting. From struggling with perfectionism, disordered eating, betrayal, infertility, and unanswered prayers, this is a story of how God met me when life did not go as planned. It’s not a testimony about getting everything I wanted, but about God using...

“I grew up in church.” “My faith was huge in my recovery.” I heard these phrases constantly while trying to recover my period. But I also saw something else: women who loved Jesus but were terrified of food, rest, and losing control. As Christian women, we are often prone to perfectionism and discipline. But when those traits are applied to our diets and exercise routines, they can be devastating...

Is the BMI chart keeping you stuck in your recovery? Growing up, the BMI scale was the barometer for my eating disorder, and later, a source of panic during period recovery. But the BMI was never designed for women, or even for medical health. In this episode, we dismantle the outdated science behind the BMI chart and explore why body fat is actually a vital organ for your fertility. We cover: * T...

Is your recovery feeling transactional? Like if you just pay enough money or follow enough rules, you’ll get your period back? The truth is, many women make incredible physical progress but never find the freedom they were promised. Why? Because true recovery requires a foundation stronger than willpower. In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the spiritual side of Hypothalamic Amenorrhe...

Ever feel like you’re falling behind? Comparing your body, possessions, or success to everyone else’s?

I almost didn’t share this episode. In this short, raw episode, I’m inviting you into the middle of my story—a season of waiting, praying, and trusting God in the face of infertility. When month after month brings another negative test, it’s easy to wonder if God sees or cares. Together, we’ll talk about what it looks like to hold on to hope when His answer is “wait.” This is a public episode. If...

In today’s episode, we’re talking about limits —a concept our culture resists but Good designed for our good. I share how striving to be limitless led me to lose my period and how God used hypothalamic amenorrhea to teach me dependence, rest, and surrender. Together, we’ll revisit Psalm 139 to see how our limits reveal His limitlessness and how true freedom begins when we stop trying to be God. Ph...
