"You're worth more than your body.
Do you not know?
You're worth more than your body
For you have a soul.
You say you're unworthy, God says you are mine
You say that you're ugly, God says you're divine"

Ozempic. Wegovy. Mounjaro. The names are everywhere, and so is the pressure. 🤍

If you've done the hard work of healing your relationship with food and your body, that pressure hits different. And if you're currently on a GLP-1 yourself, we want you to hear this first: you have a seat at this table, too. This conversation isn't here to shame you.

Our host, Chrissy, isn't asking these questions from a distance. After a 2024 type 2 diabetes diagnosis, she found herself wrestling with her own GLP-1 dilemma, a decision she never thought she'd face after years of recovery. That's why she invited Liesel Maddox back on the podcast to walk through it with real experience and compassion.

There's no simple verdict here, only informed choices made with real information and a team you trust. Whatever you're sitting with, we encourage you to bring it to Jesus before you decide.

🎙️ New episode is out now, wherever you listen to podcasts.

If you've been counting on your diet to keep you safe, you aren't the only one. 🤍

But restriction can't protect you. It can actually create a scarcity mindset that spills into other areas of life and steals your gratitude. Only God has the power to rescue you from that trap, and He longs to be your refuge.

Not sure you can trust Him? Think back to a moment when He showed up for you. Remember His goodness then, and choose to look for it again.

"My God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation. My stronghold, my refuge, and my Savior, You save me from violence." (2 Samuel 22:3, BSB)

Real freedom, real testimony. Here's what L.C. shared with us:

"FINDINGbalance is committed to pointing to Jesus and helping others find freedom from food and body image struggles, no matter where you or your family member is on their journey. I listen to their podcast semi-regularly and have been receiving the Daily Vitamin, which is a short and simple dose of scripture tied to how it might help bring truth in the realm of food and/or body issues. A short daily dose of truth and hope. I recently joined their free community to have some additional support, and these ladies 'get' the struggle and are so supportive! You know they pray for you, and there's nothing more powerful than prayer. Very grateful FINDINGbalance found me. No matter if you dip your toe in or dive in, God is in this organization."

Stories like this are the heartbeat of why this ministry exists. 🧡 So grateful for you, L.C.!

If you're looking for truth and encouragement in your own journey, our free Daily Vitamin delivers a short dose of scripture straight to your inbox, and our Hello, Freedom! Community is full of women who get the struggle and walk alongside you. And be sure to join us in Season 9 of our Old School Food Freedom podcast, available now wherever podcasts are played!

There's sometimes a quiet dread that starts creeping in before the season even arrives. The wondering if you'll make it through the parties without feeling like you failed. The tiredness of holding it together while everyone else seems to just enjoy the food, the family, the season. You want to feel present this year, not just braced for it.

Pause and ask Jesus, "Will You help me through this holiday season?"

He alone can help you!

If you find you need extra support this season, we've created a new group, just for this season: Recover Holiday Freedom. This 8-week live group starts October 6 and walks you through the holiday module of our Lasting Freedom course, offering real, Christ-centered support for your relationship with food and your body, right when you need it most. Led by Lori Clouser, with video teaching from familiar Old School Food Freedom podcast guests Travis Stewart, LPC; Amy Carlson, MS, RD; Angelica Gonzalez, LMHC; Heather Creekmore; and more.

This special, one-time offering gives you a firsthand taste of what our Journey tier will be like when it launches in January. Access is available through December 31, 2026.

Slowly inhale: Jesus, give me strength to fight.
Slowly exhale: Even when it's hard. 🧡

Some seasons call for endurance more than victory.

If you're in the thick of a hard fight today, whether with food, body image, or old patterns creeping back in, let this be your prayer. He is your strength, even in the hardest weeks.

Real women. Real struggles. Real Jesus. 🧡

Some weeks are harder than others, and this community isn't afraid to be honest about that. Whether you're fighting to stay out of old patterns, or wrestling with grace versus grind, you're not walking through it alone.

Wherever you are today, bring it to Jesus. He meets you in the hard weeks and the slow ones too. And if it would feel helpful to make Jesus-loving friends who get it, we're here.

"Control rarely looks like a struggle - it looks like competence. What appears as discipline to the world - a carefully managed body, a tightly run schedule, a life with no loose ends - can quietly become a substitute for trusting in God. And it only deepens with every bit of praise from people I love. This was my personal experience with control. The affirmation and positive feedback from others fed the idol I had created.

Control often feels safer than surrender. Though I know my God is good, the enemy convinces me that self-reliance is better…”
