“I said to my body, ‘I want to be your friend.' And it took a deep breath and said, ‘I've been waiting our whole life for this.'” – Katie Wells Doing the inner work isn't just emotional, it's biological. In this episode, Dr. Aimie is joined by Wellness Mama founder and health journalist Katie Wells to talk about the high-impact habits with light, sleep, and movement can help support nervous system regulation and emotional healing In this conversation, you'll learn why trauma is actually an energy problem, how your environment may be silently working against your healing, and how small, daily habits can dramatically impact your capacity for rest, resilience, and recovery. Together, Dr. Aimie and Katie dive into the misunderstood connection between light exposure, sleep quality, nutrition, and trauma recovery. They explain why pushing yourself, without creating safety and energy, can backfire, and how to finally work with your biology rather than against it. You'll hear more on: Why trauma is an energy problem  How your nervous system responds to light, sleep, and environmental signs Why rest and safety signals are essential to healing How to listen to your body's cues without overwhelm Why doing more won't help you heal, and what your nervous system actually needs instead And more!

Have you ever wondered if participating in dance could lead to body image issues? Heather talks to clients with a dance background and have body image issues from what a dance instructor said or from participating in an environment that is body-focused and competitive. Today, Heather interviews Mary Bawden, founder of DA:NCE an organization devoted to helping expose the dangers of hyper-sexualized dance, while encouraging children to pursue healthy dance alternatives. Mary talks about how to tell the difference between health dance and unhealthy dance. Mary also talks about the many dangers of allowing young girls and teens to participate in styles of dance that are too "adult" in their nature. The list of side effects or risks from allowing your daughter to participate in this style of dance--which is common now, everywhere--are astonishing. Listen to this interview so you can make an informed decision about the types of dance your daughter will participate in.

Gratitude isn't a garnish! It's the main dish. In Part 2 of our conversation with “The Gratitude Guy” Kevin Monroe, we roll up our sleeves and get practical. This episode is all about turning appreciation into action — without falling into the traps of toxic positivity or meaningless thanks. You'll learn how to deploy gratitude as a leadership strategy, how to make it part of your workplace rhythms, and why it transforms not just your team culture but your people's *entire lives*. (And honestly, yours too.) If Part 1 was the “why,” this one is the “how.” This isn't about feel-good fluff. It's about building a joy-filled, high-performing workplace on purpose.

Start deploying: Three steps to use gratitude well. 15:46 The 4S Formula: The four parts every "thank you" needs to actually land. 20:04 The Big Bocks: How to deploy gratitude today. One thing you can do to create a and why generative workplace that wins. Here's the real real? Cultures that prioritize joy and gratitude don't just "retain" employees. They freaking energize them.

The Lies We Believe 'ask dorothy' The WISDOM podcast  Season 5  Episode 56  

In today's "Me vs. ChatGPT" episode, Heather tackles the topic of Ozempic and other GLP-1 agonist medications that are now being prescribed to people for weight loss. She uses ChatGPT to help answer the question, "Will Ozempic fix my body image issues?" and is surprised to find ChatGPT to be very informed and aware of the limitations that weight loss has on healing body image issues. This episode will encourage women who are using these medications along with women who are surrounded by others who are using these weight loss drugs. There's no shame or blame if you've chosen to get the shots, but Heather outlines the risks and how, as Christian women, they can lead some of us further into issues like body image idolatry or distract us from our real purpose on this earth. Confidence doesn't come in the form of a weight loss shot, so Heather discusses how healing body image issues requires more than just weight loss.

Gratitude isn't just a warm fuzzy feeling — it's a leadership superpower. But most of us are doing it wrong… or at least, doing it on autopilot. Ready to learn how real gratitude can transform your team, your culture, and your own leadership mindset? Let's dive in. In this episode of The Joyosity™ Podcast, Jenn Whitmer welcomes Kevin Monroe — globally known as "The Gratitude Guy" — to explore how gratitude isn't just nice-to-have, it's a game-changer at work. Kevin shares his personal story of accidentally becoming a gratitude expert, the difference between genuine gratitude and transactional thankfulness, and why seeing people — and we mean really seeing them — is at the heart of leadership. This isn't about gratitude jars gathering dust or robotic thank-yous at checkout lines. It's about sparking real human connection, even in the toughest seasons of leadership. Here's what we talked about: 06:12 The Pit of Despair Can Be a Launchpad: Kevin shares how hitting a personal low point ignited his extraordinary work around gratitude — and how struggle often plants the seeds of deeper joy. 09:40 Gratitude ≠ Thankfulness: Thankfulness can be transactional and automatic. Gratitude requires human connection, recognition, and intentionality. 16:05 The Kmart Card Problem: Forcing gratitude isn't going to work for you…or your people 19:55 Connection Powers Engagement: Leadership isn't about checking the “gratitude” box. It's about creating environments where people feel seen, heard, and valued. 28:48 Gratitude Empowers: Simple shifts — like asking “Who made your day better this week?” — can build trust, retention, and authentic workplace culture. If today's conversation sparked something in you, imagine what a life infused with real gratitude could unlock. Share this episode with a leader who needs a reminder: seeing people — truly seeing them — changes everything. And hey, don't forget to subscribe so you catch Part 2 of this conversation with Kevin Monroe — it's gonna get even better.

Today Heather and ChatGPT tackle the same question, "What do I do if I feel jealous of someone skinnier than me?" This is the question most of us have experienced, but few want to say out loud. While ChatGPT does a good job of acknowledging that comparison issues are about idealization and more, Heather fills in the holes with what the Bible has to say to our comparison issues. She talks about the importance of gratitude and how we really do need to change the way we objectify and the narratives we have in our heads regarding other people who have a "better" body than we do. Who answered it better? Heather or Chat GPT?

If you're a Christian woman with body image issues, today Heather will fire you up with encouragement around how your Christian faith and beliefs can speak directly to your body image issues. You have a BIG faith that helps you believe in God, Jesus, heaven, and eternity. But, what you need is a LITTLE faith that can apply to how you feel and how you act when you can't get your pants buttoned, when you look in the mirror, or when you feel rejected by peers for the way you look. If you struggle with having a faith that can apply to your day to day battles with insecurity, today's episode is for you. Heather again takes on CHATGPT to see how Chat answers this same question, "How does my faith help my body image issues?" Heather's confident her answer is better this time.

Today Heather announces a brand new Bible reading plan and 15-Day downloadable devotional called, "The Mirror Fast." The concept behind the mirror fast is to take a break from looking in the mirror and to re-orient your gaze off of your body and on to Jesus. You can follow the Mirror Fast on YouVersion, the Bible app or you can download a printable copy on the website here: https://www.improvebodyimage.com/mirror-fast-christian-women You'll love the reality that this is a biblical strategy to improve your body image before summer! One of the coolest topics in this Bible study comes from Exodus 38:8, where the Israelite women melt down their bronze mirrors for them to be used to make a brass basin to go outside the tabernacle. They literally melt down their attachment and access to their image in the service of the Lord. You'll enjoy reading about this and other hot topics related to mirror fasting such as: Why do our mirrors hold such power over us? Did I mess up my God made "good" body? Why does my image bother me? Will I be okay without looking in the mirror for 40 days? And, more...

Sacred Ground ~ Living Your Heaven on Earth 'ask dorothy' The WISDOM podcast  Season 5  Episode 46  

Heather chats with licensed counselor, pastor's wife, and author Kristen Hatton about the ways that our body image issues can affect how we parent our children. From passing on perfectionism, to trying to control, to expecting our children to look or act a certain way because we're still trying to keep up an image, body image issues certainly play a role in how we parent. Kristen and Heather discuss the ways our body image issues impact our parenting decisions, recognizing that, for most of us, it's so subtle that we can't even see we are doing it. They also spend time offering hope and encouragement to moms whose children have left home already. It's never too late to redeem a relationship, to apologize, or even to acknowledge how these issues affected the way your child was raised and restore a healthier relationship with your adult children.

Today Heather welcomes Emily and Ryan Baker from the Story Matters Initiative to discuss the Mother Wound and the ways that our attachment to mom, attunement to mom, and our "mom stories" impact the ways we view ourselves and the world around us. Today, Heather, Emily, and Ryan begin this two-part discussion with a conversation about what story work is, how it is different than traditional talk therapy, and how story work can be the key to unlocking repressed or forgotten memories, which can tell a more accurate story about why we struggle in the ways we do. In today's episode they introduce the concepts of story work and what it means to be attuned to someone. They also talk about what happens when our moms never had the opportunity to work on their own stories and traumas and how this can leave them with chains to their own pasts that made it difficult for them to be in an emotionally healthy relationship with their children.

Host Heather Creekmore is joined by Erin Todd from Intuitive Eating for Christian Women and Ashley Smith from the HA Society to explore the nuance between surrendering control and exercising stewardship. The discussion kicks off with Erin sharing her journey of conception at age 41, emphasizing the importance of faith and timing. Despite being told by doctors that she had a one percent chance of conceiving, Erin's story highlights the power of trusting in God's plan and timing, while she worked with Ashley to help support her body with what it needed to get pregnant. Ashley delves into the nuances of AMH levels (Anti-Mullerian Hormone--the measure of the number of a woman's eggs that remain) and fertility, explaining the complexities and variances that are often overlooked in conventional fertility treatments like IVF. She underscores the significance of understanding one's body and situation, instead of making quick assumptions based on initial evaluations from fertility doctors. But this conversation isn't just for women who are looking to get pregnant. The conversation goes deeper and shifts to the distinction between control and stewardship. Ashley explains that true stewardship involves asking God for guidance rather than bowing to fear or societal pressures. This notion is reflected in Erin's personal challenges, including a series of stressful events that led her to a place of surrender and faith in God's timeline for her family. The trio discusses relinquishing control in various aspects of life, whether it be our bodies, children, or life's unexpected events, encouraging listeners to trust in God's sovereignty and goodness. Both Erin and Ashley provide insight into the delicate balancing act of living in faith without attaching oneself to specific outcomes, whether that's achieving pregnancy or any other life goal. Overall, the episode offers hope and encouragement for those struggling with the desire for control, particularly in the context of fertility and motherhood, and invites listeners to lean on their faith and the concept of stewardship.

How was your body image when you were pregnant? For some, it's freedom. For others, it's terrifying. Today, the Compared to Who? team: Heather, Tara, Presli, Jackie, and Rachel have a group chat about how they felt during pregnancy. They talk about their approaches to gaining weight, trying to do everything "right" by the doctors, the pressures they felt around how much weight to gain (or not gain), and everything in between. This conversation is real talk around the struggles, trials, and frustrations of being pregnant when you have body image issues or when you struggle with food, disordered eating, or have an eating disorder. For some women, body image issues start at pregnancy. No matter where you're at on your journey to heal your body image (how you feel and think about your body), this episode will encourage you. Both Heather and Tara share how their both more than a decade post-partum, but how healing it felt just to go back and think about these issues and what they walked through.
