Healing Body Image and Perfectionism: A Journey of Chronic Illness and Intuitive Living with Shannon Ricks

from Beautiful Shifts · host Lindsay & Shantil

Therapist Shannon Ricks shares about her journey through chronic illness, perfectionism, and faith transition—and how learning to listen to her body instead of fighting it became the foundation for healing. Drawing from her personal story and clinical experience in eating disorder recovery, Shannon shares insights on body neutrality, intuitive eating, and self-compassion. She also explores how beauty standards and perfectionism affect society, and how we can help the next generation develop a healthier relationship with food, body image, and self-worth.     This was such an interesting, insightful, and fun conversation, and we’re so grateful Shannon joined us on the podcast.    You can find her and her clinic, Modern Eve Therapy, on Instagram at @modern.eve.inc and @shannonricks.

My Messy, Human Life Sheena Grund A new adventure of being alive in this messy, difficult, and beautiful human life... topics to be discussed at different times: life, unlearning, disability, faith, love, Spirit... really all the things! It'll be messy (as in all over the place), but that literally in the title of the podcast, so hopefully it's not a surprise! Also, life is unpredictable and beautiful, which I hope this podcast will be, too. Wherever Life Takes Us whereverlifetakesuss Join three best friend as they explore this beautiful world! Half Ties kwamenabrace Half-ties is a conversation series on the funny, beautiful and sometimes challenging moments that interracial couples experience being with somebody who’s culturally different from them.Hosted by creative couple Olivia & Kwamena, we listen to stories about growing up with racism and prejudice; falling in love and meeting the in-laws; navigating difficult conversations within the family and in society, and how these couples make their relationship work and what they actively choose to pass down to the next generation. C.S. Lewis's The Last Battle St. Philip's Church: Charleston, SC Come join us on Wednesday nights as we explore the riches of C.S. Lewis’s marvelous book The Last Battle, which is the last of The Chronicles of Narnia. It is a remarkable book on multiple levels and was awarded the Carnegie Medal back in the 1950s when it was first published. The Last Battle has some themes in common with The Great Divorce and That Hideous Strength that will make it an excellent follow-up to those two books, and like them, it has some remarkable resonance with things going on in today’s culture. It is a book that is both theologically rich and poignantly beautiful in its writing, and it can help equip us to live boldly for Christ in a culture that has lost its way. (Although this book is the last of The Chronicles of Narnia, it can stand on its own and it is not necessary to have read the other books for this class.)
