Healing Your Relationship with Food w/ Meredyth Fletcher
God gave you one physical body so you can live, move, and breathe, and He gave you a vital resource to fuel it––food. But because of damaging diet culture and pervasive body-shaming messages, it can be hard to have an enjoyable relationship with food. In this podcast episode, "Healing Your Relationship with Food", nutritional therapist Meredyth Fletcher helps you address any distorted perceptions you have about food so that you can see it as a gift from God to nourish your body, rather than a burden.
Meredyth Fletcher is a nutritional therapy practitioner with master's degrees in clinical mental health counseling and theological and biblical foundations. She is the founder and owner of Karpós Wellness, where she combines her extensive knowledge of the body and mind to help clients of all ages with health issues, trauma, anxiety, depression, and eating disorders to find the root causes that may be driving their unwanted mental and physical symptoms. Meredyth believes that God created our bodies to know how to heal themselves, and she studies the brain and the gut to work with clients holistically from a biblical foundational perspective to achieve healing from the inside out.
Join Meredyth on this transformative journey as she shares insights, practical advice, and faith-based approaches to help you rediscover food as a source of nourishment and joy. Visit her at http://karposwellness.com to learn more about her services and her new book, "The Good Food Solution"!

Healing from Past Trauma for Healthier Relationships w/ Dr. Jude Austin
People don’t date people; they date patterns. These old patterns, driven by unresolved trauma, have strong gravitational forces that pull us into familiar but unhealthy ways of loving and being loved. As we strive for connection, this unresolved trauma often leads to dysregulation.
In 1 Corinthians 13:4-8, we learn about the true nature of love. But how do we apply this wisdom when past traumatic experiences unconsciously guide us towards unhealthy patterns? This podcast delves into the practical application of 1 Corinthians 13:4-8, focusing on knowledge, attitudes, and strategies for overcoming unresolved trauma.
Join Jude Austin, PhD, an expert with a doctorate in Counselor Education and Supervision, LPC, LMFT, NCC, and CCMHC. Dr. Austin is an Assistant Professor in the Professional Counseling Program at the University of Mary Hardin Baylor and serves as the program’s Clinical Mental Health Counseling Track Coordinator. He also maintains a private practice in Temple, Texas. His research centers on counselor education pedagogy, specifically finding ways to help counseling students develop therapeutic presence in session.
Through this podcast, Dr. Austin provides Christian leaders, therapists, and individuals with the support and strategies needed to break free from the past and build healthier, more fulfilling relationships.
