Words matter—and numbers can be deeply triggering, especially when it comes to how we see our bodies. Jess Connolly joins Sadie for a vulnerable, honest, and empowering conversation about body image, shame, regret, and the lies we believe about ourselves. Together, they explore how we can break these toxic patterns and walk in freedom. Jess opens up about how her body insecurities began early in life and actually intensified after she became a believer. Sadie shares her own story of disordered eating and how seemingly small, careless words fueled a painful downward spiral. Sadie and Jess talk about the confusion when they both became smaller after disordered eating — but were then praised for it. Jess then shares what she’s learned about the theology of the body which you can read more about in her book, "Breaking Free from Body Shame," or start the accompanying Bible study here: ⁠https://breakingfreefrombodyshame.com/⁠ - Learn more about your ad choices.
