Connect with Heather at Comparedtowho.me.Tips Heather shared with us:The hope is not in changing the body but the hope is found in changing the heart.In order to achieve a mindset shift, we first need a heart shift. What we are believing about our value isn’t necessarily true. Culture tells us our value comes from the way we look. We have a choice to believe what God’s Word says about us or what the world says about us.Our temples (our bodies) are meant to be fit for worship and require that we take care of them.Our demoralized view of our bodies affects our families. Remember that our opinions of ourselves are not the most important.///Mentioned on the show:My YouTube channel at MomZest:https://www.youtube.com/c/DemetriaZingaConsulting/videosThe Homeschool Boss Mama Goal Planner Course- https://christianhomeschoolmoms.teachable.com/p/boss-mama-homeschool-goal-planner///☕Support this podcast with a one-time coffee or a monthly membership here: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/demetriazinga///✍Apply to be on the show: https://www.honeybook.com/widget/demetria_zinga_consulting_244093/cf_id/67d97e103753ac00254305ea🎹Virtual Piano Lessons for Homeschoolers/After-Schoolers (& curious adults, too!): http://www.readandrhythm.com▶️Join me on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@momzestlife/—
