Do you have beliefs that are holding you back that (no matter what you try), they continue to have a stronghold on you?

In this week's episode of the God Pod, Leanne Ellington shares her personal journey of transforming beliefs through the unique intersection of where "faith meets science"...and where "science meets faith", as we start to unravel how faith and science intersect in transforming your deepest-held beliefs about yourself.

She shares a unique process to transform your own beliefs, but also takes you on a deeply introspective voyage, and candidly discusses her transition from attempting to change her beliefs purely through scientific and emotional tools...to inviting God into the conversation.

She shares her initial struggles with self-worth and the fear of "being alone the rest of her life", and details how she crafted new beliefs that resonated with her core self and how she "backed them up" with carefully-chosen scripture.

Leanne's journey from skepticism to faith, from doubt to trust, ultimately culminated in a profound transformation, including the unexpected and beautiful development of a loving relationship, and this episode invites you to explore your own beliefs and see where "faith meets science" can help you reshape your own self-perceptions.

You’ve been told that body image is about self-esteem. Or confidence. Or that it’s just a “vanity issue” you need to pray your way out of. But what if the issue isn’t your reflection, but it’s your wiring?

In this episode, Leanne Ellington dismantles one of the biggest lies women have been taught: that if we just loved ourselves more, the body shame would go away.

Through brain science, lived experience, and Spirit-led truth, Leanne reveals how body image isn’t a surface-level issue—it’s a deeply embedded neurological pattern. She shares the story of her own unraveling (even after losing 100 pounds), how the Anterior Cingulate Cortex shapes your self-image, and why your mirror might be reflecting trauma instead of truth.

You’ll walk away with a 3-step framework to start rewriting your self-image—God’s way:
Step 1: Unlearn the Lies – Dismantle the false beliefs you inherited about your worth, your body, and what makes you lovable, and take off the mental “backpack” you were never meant to carry.
Step 2: Regulate the Noise – Calm the inner static that keeps you stuck in fear and body shame by creating nervous system safety, so you can finally feel the love and truth God is offering.
Step 3: Rebuild the Mirror – Rewire the way you see yourself by aligning your self-image with how God already sees you: worthy, chosen, and delightfully made—right now, not 20 pounds from now.

This isn’t about body positivity. It’s about identity alignment.

Because when the mirror reflects how God sees you, you don’t have to fight to love yourself. You simply receive it.

Medications that quiet food noise are everywhere right now. They’re being talked about in doctors’ offices, on social media, and in conversations between women who are just desperate for some peace around food. So instead of approaching this topic with judgment, fear, or extremes, let’s have an honest, transparent conversation about what’s really happening in the brain—and what actually leads to lasting change.

Ozempic might be quieting the food noise for some women, but what happens when the medication wears off, the weight comes back, or the brain circuits underneath remain untouched?

In this episode, Leanne Ellington dives into what she calls the brain-based effect—a natural, sustainable way to quiet the food noise by working WITH your brain’s built-in circuitry for peace, safety, and self-control.

This episode isn’t here to judge the medication—or debate whether you should or shouldn’t take it. We’re not here to talk about the pill. We’re here to talk about the pattern.

Because no matter how the food noise gets quieted… if you don’t rewire what’s underneath, it’s just a temporary fix.

Inside, Leanne breaks down:

- The exact brain circuits that drive food obsession—and how emotional eating, cravings, and compulsive thoughts are wired in neurologically (not rooted in a lack of discipline)
- Why medications like Ozempic can temporarily turn down the “food noise”… but don’t rewire the deeper brain loops causing it in the first place
- How to create a natural effect in your brain by calming your nervous system, retraining your emotional coping patterns, and rewiring the food-seeking circuit—for good

This episode blends cutting-edge brain science with Spirit-led truth—and gives you a roadmap to heal your brain, reclaim your peace, and end the war with food once and for all.

Because when your brain is rewired for truth… the noise finally goes quiet.
