116. Is It Possible to Accept Your Body AND Still Want to Change It? HOT TAKE From A Food Freedom Dietitian & Christian Counselor with Freddie Amos, NCC, PLPC

45 minutes

For many women, the tension between body acceptance and the desire for change feels impossible to reconcile. Can you honor God’s creation while also working toward change? Or does wanting to change mean you aren’t truly content in your body? This episode dives into these questions with a fresh perspective grounded in faith and food freedom.

In today’s episode, I’m joined by Live Original’s counselor, Freddie Amos, and together, we’re breaking down what it means to accept your body as it is while addressing the nuanced and often misunderstood idea of pursuing physical changes. You’ll hear why this concept isn’t about perfection but about stewardship, how a Christ-centered approach can help guide your mindset, and practical advice for aligning your actions with your values.

A few things you can expect to hear in this episode include…

💡 The surprising truth about body acceptance and change

🙏 What Scripture says about honoring your body

🧠 How to balance stewardship and self-compassion

🎯 Why your intentions matter more than your outcomes

✨ A reframe to help you navigate this tension with grace
