The enemy wants you to believe your beauty is not enough and too much - all at the same time. Here's what God says of you.

The reason you're trying to control everything says more about your struggle than what you're trying to control. There's another way to relate to food and to your body. God put you in your body for a reason, and instead of fighting against it - you can actually choose to be at peace with it. Check out Karen Finney @karenfinneycoaching on instagram!

Close up pictures of me in my underwear, what could go wrong? Building confidence is about challenging yourself to try new things. After I broke off an engagement 6 months ago, I wanted to celebrate how God is renewing me. Reclaiming me. I wanted to do a boudoir shoot for my wedding, but I felt like I couldn't anymore. Soooo I listened to God's nudge and did it even though I was a little afraid what people would say. This episode covers how I thought about the process, things I did to improve my comfort level and body confidence!

Confidently She - The Program starts in June! Go to www.rebekahbuege.com/program to find out more! You don't have to continue trying to be enough because the decision has already been made that God loves you. It's up to you to decide what you do with that truth from Romans 5:6-8. God forgives you when you've mistreated your body or criticized yourself horribly. It doesn't matter how bad it was before, the beauty of grace is that you can be confident you're forgiven.

I'm launching a program June - September! This summer, you can learn the foundation of building confidence in Christ! Join here: www.rebekahbuege.com/program 

Disclaimer: I'm not a doctor so talking about eating disorders is ALWAYS a tip-toe subject for me. I'm only speaking from my personal perspective, my perspective on scripture in this area, and if this helps you, fantastic! That being said, I completely acknowledge the fact I don't have training in this area - so there are probably lots of aspects about eating disorders I'm blind to. 

Oh gosh, where to begin. How did liking who we are become an incredibly difficult daily struggle? When did self criticism become the norm? How did we get here? I know how, marketing. Back in the 60’s companies got really good at making us feel like something was missing. If we just bought their product, […]

If God asked you to give that up, would you? You know the thing. The thing you’re holding onto so tightly you’re terrified of letting it go. That thing. Chances are, that’s where you’re getting your identity right now. Sometimes it’s a job, a boyfriend, your kids, or even a certain lifestyle you’re living. If […]

Having a positive body image actually doesn’t start with self love.

Sure, that’s technically what makes a regular cake into a birthday cake, […]

Does this come from a health goal or a vanity goal?
