86: Overcoming Body Shame: Where It Comes From and How to Heal w/ Angelica Gonzalez
Description
If you have ever dreaded swimsuit season, felt that familiar wave of shame when the layers come off, or spent another summer hiding from your own life because of how you feel about your body, you’ll want to hear this episode.
Chrissy sits down with psychotherapist Angelica Gonzalez for an honest conversation about overcoming body shame and what it looks like to move toward your body with compassion instead of contempt. Together, they cover where the shame voice comes from, why swimsuit season hits so hard, and what practical body image healing looks like when you bring Jesus into it. You'll finish this episode equipped with tools, hope, and one truth worth holding onto: shame does not get the final word. You are not your worst thought about your body, and this summer can be different.
