Have you tried every weight loss plan out there, only to fall back into the same unhealthy eating habits again and again? Do you find yourself regaining the weight—and then some—every time you come off a diet?

My emotional eating habits changed forever when I stopped chasing the world’s next best weight loss hack and truly surrendered to God’s plan for my health.

In this powerful episode, I’ll share my personal ABC method for spiritual surrender. It's designed to help Christian women break free from emotional eating, stress-driven cravings, and the binge-restrict cycle for good.

This is the second episode in our September Spiritual Nourishment Series, and it just might be the mindset shift you’ve been praying for.

You’re not alone. & then the shame spiral? It might not be about the food at all.

In this episode, we’re exposing the sneaky mindset keeping so many Christian women stuck in the binge-restrict cycle—even when they think they’re eating “normally.” If you’ve ever felt trapped by food guilt or unsure how to enjoy treats without spiraling, this conversation will shift your perspective in a powerful (and biblical) way.

• What “mental food restriction” actually is—and how to know if you're stuck in it
• How Scripture warns against self-made food rules we were never meant to carry
• A faith-based alternative to dieting, chaos, or binge guilt
• What to pray when fear, food rules, or control start creeping in
