Ep. 81 Heather Creekmore | Overcoming Diet Culture: Journey to Self-Acceptance
Heather Creekmore joins us to delve into the intricate topic of body image and its profound impact on women, heightened by the pervasive influence of diet culture. Drawing from her personal journey, Heather shares her struggles with body image and how she found liberation from disordered eating patterns. She challenges the notion of exercise solely as a means for weight loss, advocating for joyful movement and finding pleasure in physical activity. Heather encourages listeners to adopt a more nuanced and intuitive approach to health, letting go of rigid black-and-white thinking to embrace holistic well-being.
In a vulnerable conversation with Christy and Meade, Heather further explores the pressures women face to conform to societal beauty standards, exacerbated by social media's influence. They discuss the importance of self-acceptance and the detrimental impact of media portrayal on young girls' body image. Heather shares insights from her books, 'Compared to Who?' and 'Aging Gratefully,' underscoring the significance of inner beauty and the freedom attained by shifting perspective. Tune in to gain valuable insights from Heather Creekmore's journey and her empowering perspective on body image, diet culture, and finding true freedom in Christ.

Christy, a former lawyer with a background in law, business, and politics, experienced radical renewal after choosing sobriety. Now a senior sobriety coach and author of Love Life Sober (Penguin Random House), she helps women renew their minds and rediscover joy through a powerful blend of faith, neuroscience, and practical tools.
Meade, a former pharmaceutical rep and stay-at-home mom, looked like she had it all together—but felt stuck in a nightly-ish wine habit. Once she realized the issue was less about drinking and more about thinking, everything changed. Now a senior certified coach and creator of the Change-Your-Thinking-to-Change-Your-Drinking method and The Missing P.E.A.C.E. framework, Meade helps women ditch shame, reclaim purpose, and live with peace and joy.
Together, we create loving, Spirit-led spaces where women can explore their relationship with alcohol, renew their minds, and pursue the freedom they were made for.
Christy lives in Surrey, England; Meade outside Atlanta. We're just two women who surrendered our wine glasses, found something far better in Jesus, and now have the joy of helping others do the same.
