*content warning - gestational diabetes, negative body image, past trauma*

When Kyra was diagnosed with gestational diabetes, it brought back years of body image struggles ...the kind shaped by growing up in the 90s “skinny culture” and by past relationships that made her feel like she wasn’t enough. But what started as a painful reminder became an unexpected path toward healing.

Through her husband’s steady love and God’s gentle hand, Kyra began to see her body not as something to be fixed, but as something fearfully and wonderfully made. This episode is a beautiful reflection on grace, partnership, and how God can redeem even the most painful parts of our stories.
