This one hits deep. In this episode, I sit down with someone incredibly special to me, my daughter, Mia. She’s wise beyond her years, studying psychology with a heart for helping others, and today, we’re getting real about something that has shaped both of our lives: body image.

From childhood wounds to the silent struggles we carry into adulthood, we unpack the ways shame, control, and self-worth get tangled up in how we see ourselves. Mia shares her personal testimony, moments of deep struggle, but also the incredible healing she’s found through Christ. And I open up about my own journey, the generational patterns, and the surrender that comes with aging and self-acceptance.

If you've ever felt like your worth is measured by a number, a reflection, or a standard that’s impossible to meet, this episode is for you. Healing is possible. Freedom is possible. And it starts with deciding to see yourself the way God does.
