Episode Synopsis

Today I’m joined by my former client and licensed therapist Julianne — who brings the perfect mix of clinical wisdom and “yep, I’ve been there” energy to this conversation. She gets honest about what brought her to Nourished & Free® in the first place — think postpartum chaos, generational baggage, medical trauma, and some real mixed signals from both church and culture about what her body “should” be.We get into the messy, often-ignored space where faith, food, and body image collide — and talk about what it actually means to honor God with your body (hint: it’s not obsessing over every calorie or shaming yourself into submission). We cover everything from performance vs. perfection to raising daughters in a world that still acts like thinness = holiness.Whether you share our faith or not, this episode is packed with raw honesty, relatable “oh my gosh, same” moments, and some hard-hitting truths about food shame, body image in the church, and finding freedom in the gray area.If this conversation hits home and you're tired of doing this food + body image stuff alone, Nourished & Free® might be exactly what you need. It’s my group coaching program where we ditch the guilt, unpack the shame, and rebuild your relationship with food in a way that’s actually sustainable (and not miserable).
