Are you tired of being at war with your body—and with your thoughts about your body? It’s time to extend yourself, and others, some grace!
Rachael Gilbert struggled with shame when she didn’t measure up to her dream body image. Then, as a fitness instructor and licensed counselor specializing in disordered eating, she realized how many of us bury the same painful insecurities. But keeping up appearances is exhausting. We need restoration from the inside out.
In this episode, Rachael offers invites you to see your whole self in a new way as you learn:
-
A biblical perspective on eating, weight loss, fitness, and self-confidence rooted in God’s love.
-
Counselor-inspired strategies to help you appreciate how God made you.
-
How to reframe stories that formed your attitude toward your body.
-
Tools for overcoming comparison and trauma.
-
Ways to use thoughts and feelings so they help you rather than sabotage you.
Join us to gain spiritual and therapeutic insights, as we chat about Rachael’s book, Image RESTored, to experience healing and wellness that starts with knowing God’s love for you—mind, soul, body, and spirit.
