In this episode, I open up about my own journey of moving away from using food as a reward and learning to see it as the blessing God always intended it to be. I share how diet culture shaped my thinking for years, leading me into patterns of deprivation, nighttime overeating, guilt, and “starting again on Monday.” I talk honestly about the exhausting season of motherhood when I had four boys under seven, how giving so much of myself - physically and emotionally - left me searching for comfort and escape, and how food often became the quickest relief.

Together, we explore why treating food as something we have to earn disconnects us from our bodies, fuels emotional eating, and keeps us stuck in the restrict-binge cycle. Then I walk through what it looks like to embrace a biblical perspective instead - seeing food as God’s daily provision, not a prize or a test. I share six practical steps you can start using right away to shift your mindset and build a more peaceful, grounded, God-honouring relationship with food.

If you’ve ever felt trapped in food rules, reward patterns, or cycles of guilt, this episode will help you imagine a gentler way forward - one marked by nourishment, gratitude, and freedom.

I would love to connect with you!
