Body image issues typically come from childhood and how we heard our parents speaking about their bodies and saw them treating their bodies. No matter what your parents body image was or how they parented you, they were limited just like all humans. There’s a powerful transition that happens when children grow into adults and now can see their parents as peers. This voice note attempts to explain how to get the love they didn’t give you and stop seeking it from an unwilling source.

S4 E6 - Your Parents are Flawed and Always Have Been (raw audio)

We’ve been conditioned to think being perfect is the only way we will be valuable or loved, but in my experience, the more people show me their vulnerability, their fears, and their shortcomings the more care and compassion I feel for them. Why should it be any different with how we see ourselves? In this voice note, I’m talking about how the concept of perfection can be harmful, and get in the way of us, enjoying the nuances of life.

S4 E5 - Throwing Away the Word Perfect and Getting Real (raw audio)

Confidence is a skill like anything else and you have to be OK with being a beginner if you ever want to feel like a master. The best way to build confidence in your body, your job, in your public speaking ability, etc is through consistent imperfection. This is how you learn and I hope this raw, unedited audio helps show you everyone is imperfect and you don’t have to be flawless to be valuable.

I learned I had mental health issues because of my body image. I didn't think of the two as related, I just thought that's how I thought about myself. But a negative body image is definitely a mental health issue. You can’t have a conversation about mental health without including body image and I think that’s overlooked in the conversation, so I'm talking about it on this episode. Body image isn't something you have to "manage" or "deal with" it's something you can fix! It's a powerful tool in strengthening your mental health (not to mention it does wonders for your physical health, too!)

Giving money away releases the grip it has on your heart. This is what I learned from giving 10% of each paycheck to church and charity over 2022. Scripture calls this tithing, but for a long time I didn't do it. When we choose American traditions and culture over God's advice for holy living, we start putting our trust in things other than God. Listen in for how my financial journey of 2022 shaped me spiritually. I hope this encourages you and brings new perspectives on your relationship with money, tithing, church, and how God provides in all our lives.  The Body Image Solution Book: https://www.thebodyimagesolution.com/shop Redemption Church Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/redemption-church-twin-cities/id1290360653

Dating in 2023 is crazy. There's a lot of advice out there for how to date as a christian and what christian dating should look like, but have we stopped to ask if it's really part of the Christian calling? If you attend any church service in America, you might think it's a requirement for membership. In this episode, Rebekah challenges confusing "The American Dream" with God's plan and considers 1 Corinthians 7 when Paul wrote that it's better for christians who are single to "remain as they are" rather than get married. Perhaps God is, again, trying to save us from struggles, distractions, heartbreak, and more by encouraging singleness. Listen in to get reassurance that singleness is not a disease to be cured, but a powerful (recommended) status for members of the church body.Links:The Body Image Solution (my book!): https://www.thebodyimagesolution.com/shopSign up for my 16 Days to Beat Negative Self-Talk (free!): www.thebodyimagesolution.com

S3 E19 - Being single in the church and its (unhealthy?) obsession with marriage

Omg!! Confidently she has helped me deal with my recent break up for the 4th time in 4 yrs with the same guy...I was unaware that I was in a toxic relationship and realized that I didn’t love myself and didn’t have self respect towards me.  I allowed him to do whatever he wanted with me. I’ve done everything in this relationship in hope that he would know how much I loved him. Boy do I regret now but your podcast has taught me that things happen for a reason and I learned from my mistakes. And I can honestly say I am finally moving on and see my relationship for what it was......a learning experience. You get me, you talked about everything I need to know and helped me clear my head and put the pieces together....I can see clearly now....keep up the great work!!!!

I’m cured!!

This podcast is everything I’ve been looking for in searching for affirmations about who God says I am in my body!

The best!
