    171. Why Diets Don’t Stick & The Truth About Food Rules Every Christian Woman Needs to Hear

    Ever wonder why you can follow all the “rules” for a while… only to burn out, fall off the wagon, and blame yourself? You’re not broken, friend — you’ve just been handed a set of food rules that were never made for you in the first place. For so many Christian women, diet culture’s promise of “freedom” is really just another set of chains. And when those rules stop working (or start making you feel exhausted), it’s easy to assume you’re lazy, undisciplined, or “just not strong enough.” But the truth? The problem isn’t you — it’s the plan. In today’s episode, Brittany shares exactly why diets aren’t built to last, the hidden cost of clinging to food rules, and the surprising way burnout can actually be a good thing. She’ll take you inside the Christ-centered approach she teaches her clients so you can rebuild body trust, ditch the shame, and finally make peace with food the way God intended. A few things you can expect to hear in this episode include… 🥱 Why your “perfect” plan eventually leaves you tired and frustrated 🤓 The prescription glasses analogy that will change how you see diets forever 🛑 What “feeling safe” with food rules is really costing you 📖 How the Pharisees’ extra rules reveal something about your own relationship with food 🔄 The reframe that turns burnout into a blessing Resources mentioned: > Enroll in The Joy-Filled Eater LIVE before doors close on August 29th to get automatic access to all the new updates before the price goes up!

    170. Enough with the Quick Fixes. Here’s What to Reach for When Food and Body Control Isn’t Working — A Study in Exodus (Part 2)

    Are you tired of using food rules, restriction, or perfectionism as a “quick fix” for a deeper need? So many Christian women get stuck in the loop of trying another diet, stricter rule, or harder workout to feel better—only to end up empty, exhausted, and frustrated. This episode helps untangle why those quick fixes never truly satisfy and points listeners to a better, lasting source of nourishment—both physically and spiritually.  Brittany unpacks how God’s provision in Exodus (manna and water from the rock) speaks directly into the habits, fears, and control patterns that keep women stuck in disordered eating and poor body image. In today’s episode, we’re finishing a two-part mini-series inspired by Pastor Adam Robinson’s sermon series on Exodus. Brittany explains the Manna Principle (why God gives just what we need each day) and the water from a rock story, and she gets real about how inconsistent Bible reading has impacted her own trust and spiritual nourishment.  Expect practical, Christ-centered encouragement for replacing quick-fix behaviors with daily spiritual habits and a simple action plan to start meeting the real needs hiding behind your behaviors. A few things you can expect to hear in this episode include… 🍞 What “manna every day” really taught the Israelites—and what it can teach us about daily spiritual nourishment 💧 A surprising truth about where people look for comfort when they’re thirsty (and why it fails) 🍩 A light but real story about eating a half dozen donuts 🛠️ An incredible tool that can help you actually replace unhelpful food/body control habits (and it’s FREE!) 📝 Where to start figuring out the real needs behind your behaviors (no shame—just clarity) Resources mentioned: Download your FREE Needs Assessment to determine which of the 7 needs you may be trying to meet with your food- and body-related behaviors Listen to episode 12 of Faith-Filled Food Freedom on Go-To Moves, then steal my worksheet to create your own!

    169. If You’re Tired of Being Triggered, It’s Time to Stop Looking Over Your Shoulder — A Study in Exodus (Part 1)

    Have you ever wondered why freedom from food fixation can feel scarier than staying stuck in the cycle you already know? If your healing journey feels like one step forward, two steps back—and you’re constantly looking over your shoulder wondering when the other shoe will drop—this episode is going to hit home in a big way. So many Christian women on the food freedom journey feel the same tension the Israelites did in the book of Exodus: the choice between stepping into the unknown or running back to what’s familiar (even if it’s unhealthy). In today’s episode, Brittany kicks off a powerful 2-part mini series inspired by a recent message from her pastor, Adam Robinson, that she just had to share with her podcast listeners. Through the lens of Exodus 14, she uncovers the spiritual patterns behind why you keep running back to restriction, shame, and diet culture—even after you’ve been set free. You’ll discover how God’s invitation into healing mirrors the Israelites' call to walk through the parted Red Sea... even when the path forward feels shaky. A few things you can expect to hear in this episode include… 🌀 Why it feels easier to run back to restriction than face the fear of the unknown 🪞 The powerful difference between being still and going forward 🔥 What it really means to "enter into a miracle" (and why many of us don't) 🚪 How God’s protection includes shutting the door on your past 🚫 The tough-love truth about why you can’t keep a foot in Egypt and still heal Resources mentioned: > Exodus 14 (study passage) > Galatians 5:1 > Luke 9 (Transfiguration passage) > The Joy-Filled Eater Live Group Coaching Program (open through August 29!) >>> Podcast Giveaway!
