Season 3 of the Old School Food Freedom Podcast is here! In our first episode, FINDINGbalance Executive Director and host Chrissy Kirkman chats with Megan Becker, MS, RD who highlights how seemingly small life experiences and innocuous comments, often referred to as "micro-shame moments," can significantly impact our self-perception. Megan emphasizes the importance of breaking free from the body-image fixation passed down through generations and discusses how grace is the key to overcoming guilt and shame narratives.Acknowledging that everyone is at a different stage in their awareness of diet culture's impact and the journey to freedom from it, Megan shares how embracing a grace-rooted approach, both for yourself and others, helps you discover the art of nurturing your well-being while keeping your focus on God as the ultimate source of healing and freedom.

In another moving installment of our "Hello, Freedom! Summer Road Trip" series, FINDINGbalance Grant Writer, Taylor Coote, shares how God led her to freedom from the bondage of 'Other Specified Feeding and Eating Disorder' (OSFED), a clinical category used to describe a variety of disordered eating behaviors that do not meet all the diagnostic criteria for a specific eating disorder.

In this episode, Taylor describes how dysfunctional childhood experiences created an opening for the enemy to sneak in with lies about her worth and identity as a daughter of the King. Find out how God showed up for Taylor in the middle of the road, how her college counselor helped her find treatment, the role her boyfriend-turned-husband played in supporting her through treatment and recovery, and the commitment she has made to break the generational curse of diet culture!

In the first episode of our "Hello, Freedom! Summer Road Trip" series, you heard Rece and Liesl Dunlap share their family's story of how God helped Rece overcome Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID).

In this episode, Liesl shares with FINDINGbalance Executive Director and Old School Food Freedom host Chrissy Kirkman how the Lord illuminated hope for freedom from disordered eating bondage, the challenges she faced when choosing to seek help, and how Christ-centered community and biblical truth made all the difference in her ability to walk in true freedom.

Here on The Old School Food Freedom Podcast, our heart’s desire is to help you find the truth and know freedom in Christ, so we’ve put together another Q&A Mix Tape episode to answer listener questions from a Christ-centered, biblical perspective. In this episode with Chrissy Kirkman, Amy Schaller, and Dr. Alisa Shanks, we answer questions like “Why do some people struggle significantly with food and body image and others don’t?”, ”I struggle to believe Health At Every Size is acceptable and good for my health. Can you help?”, “How can I stop constantly bodychecking in the mirror?”, and ”What’s the harm in posting before and after photos of weight loss or muscle gains?”. You will be both encouraged and empowered by the answers, so be sure to tune in for the conversation!
