In this episode we discuss a recently released research snapshot titled “Cosmetic Surgery and Body Image Among Utah Women: A 2025 Update.” This snapshot examines how cultural, social, religious, and personal factors influence body image, perceptions of cosmetic surgery and beauty standards in Utah. Using state and national data, the report explores whether Utah's reputation for high rates of elective cosmetic procedures reflects reality or perception. The analysis highlights four areas: beauty standards, cosmetic surgery trends, cultural influences, and efforts to promote positive body image. What do these findings reveal about how these areas influence body image among Utah women, and the efforts underway to promote greater confidence and self-acceptance? We'll explore all of that and more in today's episode. Dr. Susan Madsen, a Professor of Organizational Leadership in the Jon M. Huntsman School of Business at Utah State University and the Founding Director of the Utah Women & Leadership Project and A Bolder Way Forward, is joined by Corinne Clarkson, co-author of the report and a research associate at the Utah Women & Leadership Project.

Where have you been hiding? From others—or from yourself? And what might happen if you finally allowed yourself to be fully, fearlessly seen?In this work, we root back into our whole, worthy, authentic selves—the magical selves we arrived as before the layers of societal programming settled in. In this conversation with TBM member and author Karin Hadadan, we're reminded that we can return to, uncover, and embrace that perfect inner child.Karin's manifestation process isn't about calling in material things, but about reconnecting to her truest self: her unblocked emotional range, her body's innate healing, and a divine meeting with her soul's essence. She shares her journey through chronic illness, external success, and the profound inner shift from “I'm not enough. I'm too much” to “I am enough. I am whole.”We explore childhood cultural imprints, body-image wounds, the fear of being seen, and the moment of surrender that changes everything.If you're ready to step off the gas pedal of achievement and into the stillness of being, this episode is your invitation into your next level of growth.

Thanks to the continued rise of body-image pressure that has been fed and fueled by marketing and social media, our teenage boys are being encouraged to engage in what's called “Testosterone-maxxing”, or “testmaxxing.” The practice involves attempts to increase male hormone levels through the use of hormone medications. A host of social media influencers have been building their following of teenagers young and old alike, some barely into puberty, feeding the narrative that to be a real man you must have bulging muscles and washboard abs. This trend is fueling a rise in unrealistic body expectations, dissatisfaction with one's body, and dangerous medication trends. And thanks to the algorithms, our curious kids who seek information on bulking up in this way will continue to receive more and more information, thereby driving them deeper and deeper into this dark hole. Parents, monitor your boys, and teach them that their identity is not to be found in their muscle tissue, but in Christ.

What is gluttony really? If you’ve ever worried about overeating, obsessing about food, or wondered whether enjoying that extra slice of cake is a spiritual failure, this episode is for you. Best-selling author and host Heather Creekmore dives deep into the true heart behind gluttony—exploring why our modern definitions miss the mark and how diet culture and church culture have distorted our understanding. Heather reframes gluttony, drawing on biblical insight, church history, and thought-provoking examples from C.S. Lewis and Tim Keller. She challenges the idea that gluttony is simply about having seconds or what’s on your plate and asks powerful questions about cravings, control, and where we derive our satisfaction. Plus, Heather explores how misplaced fears about food can keep us stuck and why true freedom comes from surrender—not self-denial. Whether food has become a source of stress or you’re striving for perfect control, this conversation will open your eyes to new ways of understanding your desires and finding satisfaction. Ready to rethink gluttony and experience food freedom? Listen now for practical encouragement, spiritual wisdom, and a fresh take you won’t want to miss!

Send us a textYou ever catch yourself thinking, “I've been so good with food today, so tomorrow I deserve to eat whatever I want”? Yeah, that sneaky little diet-culture voice is messing with your head. In this episode, I chat with registered dietitian and intuitive eating coach Bonnie Roney about what it actually means to give diet culture the finger and why “being good” is often the very thing keeping you stuck.We dig into how our well-meaning “rules” about food, like labeling things as good or bad or eating to make up for yesterday, actually disconnect us from our bodies. Bonnie breaks down the difference between dieting and intentional eating (and no, they're not the same thing), what intuitive eating really is, and how you can rebuild trust with yourself around food without spiraling into chaos or guilt.We also get into the messy, human stuff: why guilt and shame hijack your food choices, how childhood messages like “clean your plate” shape your relationship with eating, and what it actually takes to stop feeling out of control around certain foods. And because I can't resist stirring the pot, we even talk about whether intuitive eating and weight loss can coexist.This convo is part food psychology, part rebellion, and full-on liberation from that “good girl” diet mentality. So if you've ever swung between kale salads and cookie binges, this one's for you.What's Inside:The real difference between dieting and intentional eatingWhy labeling foods as good or bad keeps you stuck in guilt and shameWhat intuitive eating actually means (and no, it's not “eat whatever, whenever”)How to rebuild trust with your body and stop feeling out of control around foodWhether you can pursue health goals and intuitive eating without losing your mindWhat would feeling truly free with food look like for you? Would it mean eating without guilt or finally trusting yourself around the stuff you used to avoid? Look, that could be you. This episode is your sign to stop playing the “good vs. bad” food game and start tuning in to what actually feels good. I'd love to hear your take—DM me on Instagram and tell me what being free with food means to you!Mentioned in This Episode:Diet Culture RebelBonnie Roney's free guide: 3 Ways To Give Diet Culture The FingerBonnie Roney on InstagramOonagh Duncan on InstagramFit Feels GoodLeave me a voice note on Speak Pipe!

Just a heads-up that in this episode we talk about late miscarriage. I am so grateful to Kelly for opening up about something that affects and speaks to so many of us - it's a beautiful conversation but if you're feeling tender around those issues for whatever reason, we've put in the time-stamps below in case you need to skip that bit. Kelly is a woman whose career has reflected the shifting tides of the British media landscape: from finding fame as a glamour model in the 90s, and being voted FHM's sexiest woman in the world on more than one occasion; she later made the move into presenting and acting. Now it's also just been revealed that she'll take part in this year's I'm a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! In her first interview since that announcement, Kelly joins me for an honest and moving conversation about the pitfalls of fame, finding true love and she gives an extraordinarily vulnerable insight into her own fertility journey and her decision not to have children. Plus; how working on her own self-worth has brought her new happiness. An inspiration! ✨ IN THIS EPISODE: 00:00 Introduction 02:05 Marriage 05:28 Joining 'I'm a Celebrity' 06:52 Preparing for the Jungle 10:56 Reflecting on Success and Failure 25:28 Navigating Personal Growth and Boundaries 26:39 Romantic Relationships and Sacrifices 31:36 Dealing with Loss and Grief 33:31 Body Image and Societal Pressures 35:55 The Pain of Miscarriage 46:39 Embracing Authenticity and Moving Forward

In this encouraging episode of the Compared to Who? podcast, host Heather Creekmore delves deep into the ever-present fear of missing out—aka FOMO. As part of the “Fear Free Fall” series, Heather unpacks the spiritual roots of FOMO, exploring how it impacts our faith, contentment, and even our relationship with God. Heather explains that FOMO isn’t just a modern phenomenon brought on by social media; it goes back as far as the Garden of Eden. Through honest reflection and biblical truth, she challenges listeners to consider whether FOMO is really about doubting God’s goodness and wondering if He’s holding out on us. You’ll learn: Why FOMO can reveal a lack of “little faith” in your daily life The connection between social media envy and spiritual insecurity How the story of Adam and Eve perfectly illustrates our struggle with FOMO Why God’s timing isn’t the same as God’s favor, and what that means for you The myth of competition and the futility of trying to “win” at life through comparison How to stop chasing others’ dreams and dig into your unique, God-given calling What true abundance and blessing really look like—and how it differs from what social media promises Heather encourages listeners to stop focusing on someone else’s life and instead trust that God’s plan for YOU is personal, intentional, and truly satisfying. If comparison has kept you feeling “less than,” this episode offers authentic hope and practical gospel wisdom to help you stop comparing and truly start living.
