Wellbeing for Christian Women | Disordered Eating, Body Image, Jesus Not Diets

If you've ever struggled to stay motivated with weight loss, healthy eating, or exercise, this episode is for you.In this episode, I'm sharing why lasting change requires more than knowing what to do - it requires a deeper why. I unpack how my own motivation has shifted from weight loss and appearance to wellbeing, strength, peace, and living in alignment with my core values.We'll explore the difference between goals and values, how to identify your own core values, and why connecting your habits to what matters most can make healthy living feel more meaningful and sustainable.Because the strongest motivation isn't found in a number on the scales - it's found in becoming the person God created you to be.

Do you ever feel like your whole life is one giant self-improvement project? In a world that constantly tells us to become more - more productive, more disciplined, more successful, more organised - it can be easy to slip into a mindset where we're always focused on what's next and never satisfied with what's now.In this episode, I explore the tension between being and becoming. While growth is a normal and healthy part of the Christian life, what happens when our desire to become more begins to crowd out our ability to simply be? To be loved. To be accepted. To be present with God.Together, we'll unpack the difference between the world's version of becoming and God's version of becoming, why so many of us live with a quiet sense of deficiency, and how learning the rhythm of both being and becoming may be the key to living from fullness rather than striving.If you've ever felt exhausted by the pressure to improve yourself, this episode is for you.I would love to connect with you!You can send me an email anytime:[email protected] You can also find me on social media and DM me:https://instagram.com/loz.perryhttps://facebook.com/loz.perry

Have you ever had one small decision completely change the direction of your day - without you even realising it? In this episode, I talk about something I’ve been noticing in my own life that I’m calling Gateway Habits vs. Slippery Habits. I unpack how certain small, often overlooked habits actually open the door to better decisions, more clarity, and a stronger sense of wellbeing throughout the day, while other habits subtly pull us off track and lead us away from the life we actually want to live. I share honestly from my own experience - including the habits that have helped me stay grounded and aligned, as well as the ones I’ve realised can quietly derail me. I also talk about what Proverbs teaches us about paying attention to the “paths” we’re walking, and how modern neuroscience actually reinforces this same idea through the way our brains form neural pathways through repetition. I finish by inviting you into a simple reflection exercise to identify your own Gateway Habits and Slippery Habits, so you can start to notice the small patterns shaping your life and gently realign where needed.I would love to connect with you!You can send me an email anytime:[email protected] You can also find me on social media and DM me:https://instagram.com/loz.perryhttps://facebook.com/loz.perry

In this episode of the Wellbeing for Christian Women podcast, I talk about the common struggle of overeating at night after being “good” all day. I unpack the restrict-binge cycle, emotional eating, dieting patterns, body image struggles, and why this isn’t about lack of willpower but often about under-eating, restriction, emotional exhaustion, and nervous system overload. I also share 5 practical, gentle steps to help break the nighttime binge eating spiral, including how to eat enough during the day, stop labelling food as good or bad, understand emotional hunger, create evening rhythms of rest, and move away from harsh food rules. If you’re stuck in the restrict-crave-overeat shame cycle, this episode will help you understand what’s really going on and begin moving toward a more peaceful relationship with food.I would love to connect with you!You can send me an email anytime:[email protected] You can also find me on social media and DM me:https://instagram.com/loz.perryhttps://facebook.com/loz.perry

Feeling spiritually dry, disconnected from God, or emotionally exhausted? In this episode, I explore the powerful connection between spiritual nourishment and spiritual strength by comparing the Word of God to food and praying in the Spirit to resistance training. I share how a life-changing season during lockdown transformed my relationship with God, deepened my understanding of fasting, and taught me what it truly means to become spiritually full and spiritually strong. Together, we unpack biblical truths about spiritual hunger, praying in tongues, consistency in prayer, and why so many Christians feel spiritually weak despite consuming endless content. I also talk about the difference between being spiritually stimulated and spiritually satisfied, how daily habits shape our faith over time, and why God never intended for us to live spiritually malnourished. If you’ve been struggling with spiritual fatigue, lack of intimacy with God, or feeling disconnected from your faith, this episode will encourage you to start feeding your spirit again through Scripture, prayer, and deeper communion with God.I would love to connect with you!You can send me an email anytime:[email protected] You can also find me on social media and DM me:https://instagram.com/loz.perryhttps://facebook.com/loz.perry

For years, I thought healing would come through more discipline, more restriction, and finally achieving the “perfect” body. I believed freedom was always just one successful diet away. But after years of restrictive eating, body dissatisfaction, food obsession, and constantly feeling at war with myself, I eventually realised something had to change - not just my habits, but my mindset.In this episode, I’m sharing the five biggest mindset shifts that completely changed the way I approach food, health, weight, and my body. I talk honestly about the exhausting cycle of restrictive dieting, black-and-white thinking around food, the pressure many women feel to constantly shrink themselves, and why I no longer believe our bodies were meant to become our main focus in life. More importantly, I share how healing started when I stopped obsessing over becoming “less” and started becoming more grounded in my identity in Christ.If you’ve ever felt trapped in cycles of guilt around food, discouraged by dieting, consumed by body image struggles, or simply exhausted from trying to fix yourself all the time, I really think this conversation will encourage you. My prayer is that this episode helps you breathe a little deeper, think a little differently, and remember that freedom isn’t found in perfection - it’s found in Jesus.I would love to connect with you!You can send me an email anytime:[email protected] You can also find me on social media and DM me:https://instagram.com/loz.perryhttps://facebook.com/loz.perry The Bathhouse in the Blue Mountains I mention in today’s episode can be found here:https://aquaignisbathhouse.com/

Feeling overwhelmed, stuck in a cycle of doing more, or wondering if there’s a simpler way to support your health, fat loss, and wellbeing as a Christian woman? In this episode, I share why walking might be the most underrated habit for your body, mind, and faith.I unpack 5 powerful benefits of walking: from gentle fat loss support (without the stress response), to improved blood sugar regulation, reduced cravings, nervous system regulation, and greater mental and emotional clarity. If you’ve struggled with burnout, emotional eating, or all-or-nothing health patterns, this conversation will help you see why walking is not just “enough” - it’s foundational.I also reflect on how Jesus walked, living a life that was unhurried, relational, and deeply connected to the Father, and how we can step into that same rhythm through simple, consistent movement.This episode is your invitation to stop striving, start walking, and experience sustainable health, steady energy, and a more peaceful, God-centred approach to wellbeing.Reset Event Details & Registration:https://www.trybooking.com/DKOCR I would love to connect with you!You can send me an email anytime:[email protected] You can also find me on social media and DM me:https://instagram.com/loz.perryhttps://facebook.com/loz.perry
