    How I Recovered My Missing Period (HA)

    In this episode, I walk through the practical steps I took to recover from hypothalamic amenorrhea and restore my menstrual cycle, ultimately leading to pregnancy. I share what contributed to losing my period, the specific changes I made with food, exercise, stress, and mindset, and what I learned along the way. I also go into detail about my cycle parameters leading up to pregnancy. Please remember that this is just one way recovery can look. Each person’s journey will be unique.

    Do You Hunger for God?

    What do you do when you don’t feel like reading your Bible or going to church? In this episode, I share how my recovery from an eating disorder changed my perspective on spiritual disciplines. Just as the body must sometimes be "mechanically" fed to heal, our souls require consistent nourishment, even when the desire is absent. Join me as I discuss how to reset your spiritual hunger cues and trade temporary cravings for the only Food that truly satisfies. This is a public episode.

    My Testimony

    In this podcast episode, I share my testimony: My story about how God has faithfully worked in my life through seasons of control, suffering, and waiting. From struggling with perfectionism, disordered eating, betrayal, infertility, and unanswered prayers, this is a story of how God met me when life did not go as planned. It’s not a testimony about getting everything I wanted, but about God using the pain to sanctify me. And if you want more details of my period recovery process, I will be releasing an episode in couple weeks about how I went from no period to pregnant! This is a public episode.

  4. Why Are So Many Christian Women Losing Their Periods?

    Why Are So Many Christian Women Losing Their Periods?

    “I grew up in church.” “My faith was huge in my recovery.” I heard these phrases constantly while trying to recover my period. But I also saw something else: women who loved Jesus but were terrified of food, rest, and losing control. As Christian women, we are often prone to perfectionism and discipline. But when those traits are applied to our diets and exercise routines, they can be devastating to our fertility. In this episode, I’m asking the hard question: Is a false theology hurting our hormones? If you have ever felt like resting was a sin, or that eating “clean” made you more righteous, this episode is for you. Photo by Fa Barboza on Unsplash This is a public episode.

  5. Let's Talk About Leptin

    Let's Talk About Leptin

    Is the BMI chart keeping you stuck in your recovery? Growing up, the BMI scale was the barometer for my eating disorder, and later, a source of panic during period recovery. But the BMI was never designed for women, or even for medical health. In this episode, we dismantle the outdated science behind the BMI chart and explore why body fat is actually a vital organ for your fertility. We cover: * The flawed history of BMI (and why it ignores female physiology). * Why body fat is essential for bone health, brain function, and hormones. * The role of Leptin: How this “satiety hormone” signals safety to your reproduction system. If you are spiraling over the numbers on a chart, this episode is your permission to stop measuring and start nourishing. Photo by i yunmai on Unsplash References Dornbush S, Aeddula NR.

  6. What Other Coaches Won't Tell You About Period Recovery

    What Other Coaches Won't Tell You About Period Recovery

    Is your recovery feeling transactional? Like if you just pay enough money or follow enough rules, you’ll get your period back? The truth is, many women make incredible physical progress but never find the freedom they were promised. Why? Because true recovery requires a foundation stronger than willpower. In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the spiritual side of Hypothalamic Amenorrhea. We explore why secular advice often fails to silence the eating disorder voice and why inviting God into the process changes everything. Christ isn’t an optional add-on to your recovery; He is the foundation. Let’s talk about why. This is a public episode.

    Holier Than Thou: Finding Freedom from Comparison and Perfectionism

    Ever feel like you’re falling behind? Comparing your body, possessions, or success to everyone else’s? In this episode, I share how God met me on a quiet hike and reminded me of a life-changing truth: nothing you do can make you holier. Together, we’ll unpack Ephesians 2:8-9 and explore what it means to find your identity in Christ—not in performance, perfection, or productivity. If you’re longing to stop striving, this one’s for you. Photo by chris liu on Unsplash This is a public episode.
