Hear how my client Sally went from decades of yo-yo dieting to finally releasing over 20 lbs at age 64 by befriending hunger and learning how to attune to her satiety. No meal plans. No fasting schedule. What if rather than thinking of hunger as an emergency, as something to suppress or ignore is our friend? What if your struggle with food and your body turns out to be the key to accessing your inner beauty? That rather than your weight loss goal being a quest for self-acceptance, it becomes the doorway into self acceptance.Book a free call during Next Steps June to see if the Mindful Shape coaching program is right for you.Shape Shift Program LEARN MOREInstagram: @mindful_shapeFree Self Coaching ResourcesInterested in getting coached by me?

Are you curious about how diet programs sneak religious language into their sales pitch? Ever wondered why joining a weight loss plan at church can feel surprisingly similar to joining a church itself? On today’s episode, Heather Creekmore continues her powerful series, "The Gospel of Good Bodies," and exposes the insidious ways that popular diet programs like Optavia and the old Weigh Down Workshop blur the line between faith and food. Heather Creekmore digs deep into: How diet culture borrows the architecture of salvation: Learn how programs diagnose a “fallen state,” promise transformation, offer coaching “saviors,” and tout communities that eerily resemble church groups. Shocking religious-sounding language from Optavia: Hear actual letters written to "brothers and sisters in Christ," urging members to “kick sugar in the face” as if it’s a spiritual battle; one equal to a believer's battle with pride! The tragic path of Weigh Down Workshop: How Gwen Shamblin’s transformative biblical dieting program morphed into a bona fide cult—with spiritual harm to match. Dangers of mixing body goals with spiritual worth: Why these messages distract from the true gospel and what Scripture actually says about food and the body. A word of hope if you feel trapped by religious diet culture: Heather Creekmore encourages you—there’s a better, grace-filled way to see your body through Jesus. If you’ve ever joined a diet program because “a Christian was leading it,” or if you just want to protect your faith from diet hype, you can’t miss this episode! Love this episode?
