How to Love our Bodies with Alisa Keeton


Listen Later

Hey there! As the season of swimsuits and shorts, summer can bring up all kinds of feelings about our bodies. Women can feel afraid (or even ashamed) to talk about it. Today, we’re going there, and I’ve brought in a good friend for this special Smart Girl Summer episode to help us! 

Alisa Keeton is the founder of Revelation Wellness, and she is on a mission to help women love God, get healthy, be whole, and love others. 

Alisa is also an author, and her new book, The Body Revelation: Physical and Spiritual Practices to Metabolize Pain, Banish Shame, and Connect to God with Your Whole Self, is a tool to help women do just that. 

Listen in our conversation as Alisa and I discuss: 

  • Why we are prone to extremes when it comes to our bodies

  • How getting healthy and being whole impacts how we love God and others

  • The point in a new venture when most women quit (and why they shouldn’t give up!)

  • How trauma affects our physical bodies, and why downplaying it is so detrimental

  • The prayer you should pray if you’re not sure if your idea is your own or from the Lord

  • Favorite quotes:

    • “Your body has been designed by God. There is nothing about you that genetically is flawed.  He is on purpose with a purpose. Every body is a good body.”
  • “Love God. Get healthy, be whole. Love others.”
  • “I don’t think you need to be polite with Jesus. You have to be real with him and never let go.”
  • “Before you had words for life to explain and have a worldview, your body was trying to tell you things and it has always been trying to tell you stuff.”
  • “Before you go ask your friends or all the people you think you need their approval, sit down with the Lord. Take a day, pull away, go away, turn your phone off, and get in the Word and hear from Him. Once you have heard from Him, there’s no turning back.”
  • “You know it is the Lord if you don’t stop thinking about it. It keeps coming up.”
