Listen Later

In a culture obsessed with unrealistic beauty standards and quick fixes, disordered eating has become a silent struggle for many girls and women. As parents, how can we foster a Christ-centered perspective on body image and encourage our daughters to embrace their God-given worth? In this powerful episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, American Heritage Girls Founder & Executive Director Patti Garibay welcomes Dr. Rhona Epstein, a licensed psychologist, addiction counselor, and author with over three decades of experience in helping individuals find freedom from disordered eating and food addiction.

Dr. Rhona shares her personal journey of recovery and how it ignited her passion to help others heal. Together, Patti and Dr. Rhona dive into the realities of body image issues, discuss what disordered eating looks like in girls, and explore how moms can model healthy relationships with food and self-image.

Through a Biblical lens, Dr. Rhona provides practical advice for breaking free from the cultural pressures that fuel disordered eating. She emphasizes the transformative power of aligning our worth with God's design rather than societal ideals. You'll also hear her heartfelt encouragement for families walking through this challenge and how faith, grace, and professional support can bring lasting healing.

As we approach Eating Disorders Awareness Week, this episode offers timely insight, hope, and actionable steps for moms raising Godly girls. Don't miss this heartfelt conversation that equips you to nurture your daughter's heart and identity in Christ.
