16 - Coping with Grace and Kindness with Char-Lee Cassel

Today on the Intuitive Eating for Christian Women podcast our co-host Char-Lee Cassel shares her God story, her food story and how she learned to cope with her emotions with God’s grace and kindness.

In this episode we dig into:

• Her personal history of trauma and how that influenced her relationship with food and body.
  
• The unhealthy ways we find our identity in other things such as status, appearance or relationships.
  
• The deeper motivations behind dieting such as wanting to be wanted or seeking security.
  
• What it’s like to be a “success” on the outside but a mess on the inside.
  
• How an unexpected diagnosis shattered her identity as the “fit girl”.
  
• Learning intuitive eating and diet culture in health education systems.
  
• Surrendering to God the areas we previously held back from Him.
  
• Realizing our bodies are here for something greater than the way it looks and other gifts of pregnancy.
  
• Recognizing intuitive eating doesn't have to look a certain way and will look different in different seasons.
  
• Embracing the unconditional love of God and no longer wanting the world’s conditional love.
