8. Your Body Is Not a Mistake: God's Design for Diversity w/ Jessica Lauren Newby, MA, RDN, CEDS-S, IBCLC
Description
If you can't tell the difference between what God says about you and what the world keeps telling you, if you've been told your whole life that there's one right way to look, and you're finally questioning whether that's really true, let's untangle that together in this episode. Chrissy sits down with Jessica-Lauren Newby, a registered dietitian who specializes in eating disorders, to talk about knowing God personally and recognizing His voice when the lies get loud.
They get into why God made bodies different on purpose, how we keep confusing unity with uniformity, and what it means to think about hunger and nourishment as gifts instead of problems. Jessica-Lauren draws a clear line between knowing about God and knowing Him personally, and Chrissy asks the questions a lot of women are afraid to ask out loud about what freedom really feels like when you've spent years measuring yourself against a standard that was never God's in the first place.
