A gentle invitation to reimagine how you care for your body and your soul as a midlife Christian woman.

By the time many Christian women reach midlife—especially in perimenopause or menopause—our relationship with nourishment often feels tangled. Maybe your body no longer responds the way it used to. Maybe you’re weary from years of denying your needs. Or maybe the cravings—for rest, for relief, for comfort—feel louder than ever.

In this episode, Bethany shares a tender story about her son that opens the door to a much deeper conversation:

What if nourishment isn’t about fixing your body, but tending to it?

What if your cravings are signals, not failures?

What if turning toward yourself is actually a sacred form of reparenting your inner child—with God’s gentle presence guiding the way?

We’ll explore nourishment from a functional, emotional, and spiritual lens—including how it relates to emotional eating, midlife fatigue, inner healing, and your body’s God-designed rhythms.

This episode offers hope and grounding for Christian women walking through perimenopause, menopause, chronic fatigue, or just feeling disconnected from their bodies.

Inside this episode:

• Why emotional eating isn’t a failure—but a signal to be tended with compassion
• What Scripture really says about nourishing your body (Ephesians 5:29)
• A new lens for understanding food, fatigue, and self-care in midlife
• How reparenting your inner child can begin through small acts of daily kindness
• Practices that support hormone balance, rest, and spiritual healing
