Sacrificing your sanity doesn’t make you more holy. Let’s talk about what actually honors Jesus… and it starts with caring for YOU.
Let me guess. You just reheated your coffee for the third time today (and still didn’t drink it). You’ve wiped sticky fingers, packed lunches, managed a toddler meltdown, and maybe—just maybe—answered three emails or texts in the middle of snack time chaos. Somewhere between all that, you remembered: “Oh yeah, I was gonna start working on food freedom this summer.”
Friend… can we talk?
Because I need you to hear me loud and clear:
Prioritizing your recovery isn’t selfish. It’s sacred.
Even as a mama. Especially as a mama.
I hear it all the time from the incredible women I work with:

But oh, sweet friend—there is hope. And I want to walk with you as we unpack what it means to find it, even when it feels far away.
Trying to fight off the urge to restrict or body check in an emotionally intense or vulnerable state without having a plan ahead-of-time is like telling yourself to get to the other side of the pool faster than Micheal Phelps 🏊‍♀️.
Defeat is pretty much all but guaranteed.
BUT, when you intentionally prepare for the roadblocks on your body image and food freedom journey before you’re face-to-face with them, it’s a whole new game! Using the Micheal Phelps example, what if you realized that no one said you had to swim? (Jet ski, anyone?) Today, I’m going to walk you through a simple strategy that will help you know exactly what you’re going to do the next time you’re faced with a Micheal Phelps-sized battle on your food freedom journey.Â
