What planning a wedding has made me realize about the way I look at my body and myself
Manage episode 490705656 series 3431674
Planning a wedding is supposed to be joyful—but no one warned me how deeply it would challenge the way I see my body. Between dress fittings, comments from others, and the pressure to “look perfect,” I started realizing how much shame I’d carried silently for years.
In this episode, I open up about what this season is teaching me—not just about body image, but about compassion, healing, and seeing myself the way God does. I talk about the spiritual battle behind body shame, how the enemy uses appearance to distract and discourage us, and the truth that your worth has nothing to do with a mirror, a milestone, or a measurement.
If you’ve ever struggled with food noise, body comparison, or feeling like your body is never quite “enough,” I pray this conversation meets you where you are. You are not a project. You are a temple. And you are already deeply loved.
In this episode, we’ll cover:
- Why bridal culture often stirs up hidden shame
- How to protect your peace in a comparison-driven world
- The spiritual side of body image struggles
- Biblical truths to speak over yourself
- Practical ways to heal and walk in freedom
Whether you're planning a wedding or just living in a world obsessed with appearance—this one’s for you.
Let’s rewrite the narrative.
Let’s choose truth over shame.
And let’s remember: your body is not a problem to be fixed—it’s a vessel to be cherished.
