In today’s episode, I’m joined by someone whose work feels both timely and deeply needed — Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and eating disorder specialist, Chantia Sturman. She’s the founder of Darling, Arise, a powerful self-paced course designed to help moms raise confident daughters who feel at peace with food and at home in their bodies.

Chantia has spent years walking with women and girls through healing — from IOP and PHP levels of care, to outpatient therapy, to nearly three years serving in schools. She brings wisdom from every stage of the journey, and she delivers it with a calm strength that mothers will feel the moment she speaks.

In this conversation, we talk about:

• What daughters actually need from us in order to develop a healthy relationship with food and identity
• How to speak truth into our girls without making their bodies the focus
• Subtle ways diet culture sneaks into Christian homes — and how to gently guard against it
• How God invites us to root our worth in who He says we are, not how we appear
• Practical tools you can start using in your home today
• And how moms can heal their own relationship with food and body so they can model freedom for their daughters

Chantia’s mission is simple and so aligned with our heart here: to help families build homes where identity, purpose, and God-given worth run deeper than appearance. Through therapy, education, and compassionate guidance, she equips moms with the tools they need to raise girls who walk confidently in who God made them to be.

This episode is gentle, rich, and full of the kind of truth that stays with you. Whether you’re raising daughters or simply wanting to heal parts of your own story, you will feel encouraged, seen, and strengthened.

Grab a cup of something warm, settle in, and join us for this beautiful and important conversation.
