Are you scared out of your mind to gain weight? Do you feel trapped in a cycle of restricting, then eating whatever you want—swinging between control and chaos? Does recovery feel lonely, hopeless, or out of reach? And on the days you do believe food freedom is possible, are you consumed with too much information? Or the idea - nobody will understand your situation? Hi, I’m Andrea. I spent over 20 years stuck in that same exhausting loop—obsessing over food, exercise, and my body because I was desperate to be good enough. I chased perfection, constantly comparing myself to others, believing my worth depended on how I looked and what I achieved. An eating disorder and toxic body image stole my joy, my peace, and my purpose. But Jesus never left my side. He fought for me when I couldn’t fight for myself and led me to freedom I didn’t think was possible. Now I’m here to help you find that same freedom. This is Eating Disorder Recovery for Christian Moms, where we learn to obsess over Jesus—not calories, workouts, or the scale. Each week, we’ll focus on faith-based mindset shifts, real-life tools, and honest conversations that will help you heal your relationship with food, your body, and your heart. Together, we’ll reclaim your self-worth and realign with your true identity in Christ. When you are well, your God-given gifts can shine fully into the world. The world needs your light. ✨ Shine on, friend. Let’s do this!

    60 | Will I Struggle with an Eating Disorder Forever? The Answer Most People Miss

    Will this struggle follow you forever? That question carries a heavy emotional weight. When someone says eating disorders can be lifelong, it can feel like a sentence… like hope just shrank. In this episode, we take a deeper look at what most people miss. Your struggle may require awareness. But it does not get identity rights. I share a recent moment at the doctor’s office when the number on the scale didn’t have the power it once did — because my value is no longer determined by a number. Your identity comes from Jesus. Your worth is not defined by a scale. And this struggle is temporary in light of eternity. There are no eating disorders in heaven.   Ready to take the next step in your recovery? If the fear of weight gain is keeping you stuck, I’m offering 5 free one-hour Weight Gain Fear Breakthrough Sessions. In this session, we’ll uncover what’s really fueling the fear and identify your first clear step toward freedom. These spots are for women who are ready to do the work and start moving forward. You can also stay connected through my weekly email newsletter, where I send faith-based encouragement that helps connect the dots between recovery, your relationship with God, and practical action. And if you’re looking for community, join my free Facebook group to go deeper, ask questions, and connect with other women walking the recovery journey.

    59 | Stop Fighting in Silence: How Speaking Up Ignites Your Eating Disorder Recovery

    What stays silent stays fused. If you’re still fighting your eating disorder silently inside your own head, this episode will challenge you in the best way. Because silence doesn’t just protect privacy — it protects the disorder. In this episode, I share the moment I didn’t realize was the beginning of healing: when I started speaking my thoughts out loud. I was overwhelmed, scared, and emotionally charged. But the moment those thoughts left my head and entered the light, something shifted. Light creates separation. Separation creates clarity. And clarity protects your identity. We’ll talk about why darkness fuses identity, how speaking creates space, and why you are done protecting what is harming you. Light destroys darkness.   Ready to take the next step in your recovery?

    58 | Feeling Lonely in Recovery? How to Find Peace When God Feels Quiet

    Loneliness often shows up in recovery — especially in transition. When you’re not who you used to be… But you’re not fully steady yet. In this episode, we talk about transitional loneliness, borrowed calm, and what it means when God feels quiet. Quiet does not mean absent. Presence doesn’t require volume. If you feel lonely right now, it doesn’t mean you’re failing. It might mean you’re growing.   Book your free coaching call   Want more support and encouragement?

    55 | How to Get Closer with God While Staying Grounded in Early Recovery

    Early recovery can feel like a wilderness. Lonely. Disorienting. Exposed. You want to cling tightly to God — but shame makes you feel too messy to approach Him. In this episode, we talk about how to draw deeply close to God in a way that strengthens your healing, steadies your mind, and keeps you grounded in your body. We look at Hagar in Genesis 21 — alone, crying out in the wilderness — and the powerful truth that God hears, sees, and moves toward the desperate. You don’t have to clean yourself up to call out. Brokenness is not where God pulls away. It’s where He draws near.   Book your free coaching call Want more support and encouragement?

    53 | Why You Need to Stop Asking "Am I Enough?" to Finally Stop Restricting

    At 14 years old, I stepped on the scale and saw I had lost 10 pounds. I felt proud. Excited. Energized. And my very first thought was: “How much more can I lose?” That moment revealed something I didn’t understand at the time — no number was ever going to be enough. In this episode, we’re talking about the exhausting question that fuels restriction: Am I enough? You’ll learn: • Why striving keeps you stuck • Why restriction can’t answer a soul-level question • Why the longing to feel enough goes deeper than your body • And how grace frees you from proving yourself You don’t have to be enough. Christ already is.   Book your free coaching call   Want more support and encouragement?
