Faith, Identity, & the Female Body: A Conversation with Dr. Kathleen Bazile

In this thoughtful episode of The Chalice, Dr. Kathleen Bazile joins us to explore the intersection of mental health, womanhood, and faith. Drawing from her research on faith and body image and her work as a clinician, clinical mental health counseling educator, and her own lived experience, Dr. Bazile discusses what it means to support women through life transitions, how faith can shape healing, and how future counselors can ethically integrate their values into practice. From perimenopause to professional identity, this conversation is rich with wisdom for clinicians, educators, and anyone on a journey of self-acceptance and growth.
