Like so many women, does feeling in control of what you eat or how your body looks make you feel safe?

Many Christian women wrestle with control around food, thinking that following strict rules will bring peace. But what if that “safety” is actually keeping you from experiencing lasting food freedom? This episode explores why control feels comforting—AND why it might not be the solution you think it is.

In today’s episode, Brittany dives into what’s really happening when you cling to control, and shares stories and examples that will make you see your relationship with food and control in a completely new way.

You’ll walk away from this episode with 3 insights that will help you recognize how in control you actually are, and how that control might be impacting your body image and relationship with food.

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

🗂️ A simple analogy that shows why your control might be more fragile than it seems

🛣️ How taking unexpected detours can change your perspective on rules by 180 degrees

💪 The surprising difference between what drives control and what leads to confidence

🙅🏻‍♀️ What happens when the rules you follow start to feel impossible to manage

🙏 A fresh perspective on how to find peace with food in a way you probably don’t expect
