The Candace Cameron Bure Podcast

Why Can’t I Feel Free? What Keeps Us From Finding Peace in Our Bodies? - Lisa Whittle


Listen Later

In the premiere of Season 11, Body & Soul, Candace and her guest co-host Lisa Whittle begin a vulnerable and powerful conversation about their lifelong struggles with body image, disordered eating, and mental exhaustion. From Lisa’s seminary days of Skittles and Diet Coke lunches to Candace’s behind-the-scenes pressures as a young actress, both women reveal how shame and comparison shaped their self-worth.

But this season isn’t about staying stuck. Lisa introduces the concept of "whole body theology," a Biblical foundation that reframes how we view our bodies—not as projects to fix, but as vessels created for God’s glory. If you’ve ever felt exhausted by conflicting health advice, or caught in a cycle of striving and self-loathing, this episode offers gospel-centered hope for a new way forward. Because when body and soul are seen together, healing begins.
