If movement has always felt complicated, tangled up with body image, or the pressure to do more and look different, this episode is for you.

Chrissy sits down with Leah Bryant, the producer of Old School Food Freedom, who woke up one day unable to feel anything below the waist. What followed was emergency spinal surgery, a cauda equina syndrome diagnosis, thirty days in rehab, and a slow, faith-filled journey back to walking on her own. Together, they talk about what body gratitude really looks like when your body has limits, why shaming yourself into movement never works, and what it means to take one small step with Jesus and let that be enough. You'll leave with a different way of seeing your body and a gentler way of caring for it.
