Show Notes for Episode 52: Still Becoming

In this episode we dig into:

• Her experience of rapid and traumatic weight gain as a 11 year old girl
• Hitting a tipping point a few years ago and realizing she needed specialized help to heal. 
• How freedom doesn’t have a look or a body size and the danger of judging others by their appearance
• The power of sharing your testimony and reaching out to help other women who are a step behind you on the journey.
• Only God can fix what He created and our food and body issues are not physical problems but spiritual ones.
• How shame holds us back from surrender
• Encouragement for aging women that its never too late for God to write a new story
• Her book Still Becoming: Hope, Help and Healing For the Diet-Weary Soul, a 31-day devotional
