99. Cycle Synching, Mental Health for Christians, and Other Taboo Topics in the Church with Blake Guichet

Cycle syncing, sex, mental health, politics – These are all topics that are not brought up enough in today's churches. And that's why on the podcast today, I’ve invited my friend Blake to have a real conversation with me about how we deal with some of these taboo subjects when it comes to things like women’s health for Christians.Blake is a small town Louisiana girl who's made a living out of saying what everyone else is really thinking. She's the host of the wildly popular podcast, Confessions of a Crappy Christian and author of a book by the same title and spends her days covering American politics and social media while homeschooling her two daughters. And in today's episode, Blake and I have a fantastic conversation about things like cycle syncing and women's health. It’s full of hard truths, good laughs, and so much fantastic education.A few things you can expect to hear in this episode include:⛪️ Some candid conversation about navigating mental health issues within the pews of the Church🩸 What cycle synching is and how to increase awareness about how each phase of your menstrual cycle impacts your physical & mental health🏋🏻‍♀️ A fun fact about how and why your ability to lift heavy isn’t the same week to week📖 Why we’ve got to start challenging social norms and get back to what Scripture ACTUALLY says⛵ How to begin getting more comfortable with letting go of people pleasing and not be afraid to rock the boatResources mentioned:> Listen to mine and Blake’s conversation on the Confessions of a Crappy Christian podcast (Episode 201: Ditching Food Rules)> Get Blake’s book, Confessions of a Crappy Christian> Connect with Blake on Instagram @thegirlnamedblake > Listen to Episode 44 on overcoming people pleasing.Become a VIP Podcast Insider HERE to access BONUS resources only available to our VIP list.Enroll in The Joy-Filled Eater course!Join our FREE community in the Food Freedom & Body Image Support for Christian Women Facebook group to ask your questions about cultivating a joy-filled relationship with food, your body, & Jesus.Got a question about food freedom, body image, faith, or nutrition?
