Hello friends! I’m so glad you’re here for the second episode of the Alive and Well Podcast.

In this episode, I dive into a topic I’m deeply passionate about: body image and body dysmorphia. For much of my life, I struggled with disliking what I saw in the mirror, and I’ve learned firsthand how a low self-image can affect both our physical and mental health—while also impacting our relationship with God.

I open up honestly about my own story—past and present—and share practical tools that have helped me along the way. Together, we’ll explore what God says about our bodies, why it’s so important to see ourselves through the lens of His truth, and how asking the right reflective questions can spark healing and growth in your own journey.

This episode is real, honest, and full of encouragement. My prayer is that it inspires you to view yourself as God does and helps you live more alive and well.

Bible Verses in this Episode:
Psalm 139:13–16 (NLT)
Romans 12:1–2 (NLT)

Welcome to the first official episode of the Alive and Well Podcast—I’m so thrilled you’re here! In this very first episode, we are laying the foundation for what this show is all about: pursuing every area of life with Jesus at the center. Together, we will explore what it means as Christian women to desire health, steward what’s been entrusted to us, and navigate the complexities of everyday life with grace.

In this episode, I’ll share a bit of my own story, my heart for encouraging women to embrace their unique callings, and why living as our healthiest selves helps us do that well. We will also talk about what “healthy” truly looks like through a Christ-centered lens, plus I’ll give you a peek into my current morning routine—the practices that help me feel my best and stay present in this season.

This first episode is a fun, heartfelt kick-off designed to give you a taste of all that’s ahead. I’m so glad you’re here—let’s dive in!
