Food is one of the most basic forms of sustenance we consume in our lives every day. It sustains us and nourishes our bodies in the way God designed us to live and thrive. We need it, yet for many women our relationship with what we eat becomes tangled in guilt, pressure and shame- so how do we begin healing our relationship with food through our faith?

In this episode of Wildly Hopeful, Brandy Dawson sits down with Christian registered dietitian and intuitive eating counselor Abbie Stasior to talk about healing our relationship with food through faith, compassion, and grace.

Together they explore how diet culture shows up, even in Christian spaces, why food can become a place of control, and what it looks like to move torward true "food freedom in Christ."

If food has ever felt complicated fo you, this conversation offers a gentle place to begin again.

*Note: This conversation includes discussion of food, body image, and eating habits. Please listen gently and take care of yourself if these topics feel tender.

Substack:Musings of Grace

How do you move forward when your dreams fall apart- do you still trust God? What do you do when you love Him deeply... but life doesn't unfold the way you planned (or how you prayed?

In this vulnerably honest conversation, Brandy sits down with Jennifer Lucy Tyler to talk about faith in seasons of disappointment, unaswered prayer, grief, and waiting.

If you have ever felt confused by God's timing, struggled with unmet expectations, or wondered where God is when your dreams fall apart- this episode is for you.

Jennifer shares her personal story of loss, and formation, and how Scripture became an anchor in the hardest times of her life.

If you are walking through delay or quietly just surviving, you belong here. You don't have to have perfect faith to experience God's nearness. You are deeply loved and have a seat at the table.

Substack:Musings of Grace

One year ago, this podcast began with a simple yes.

No big strategy. No polished plan. Just a quiet conviction that women needed a space where faith could be honest and grace could breathe over us.

In this speciall anniversary episode, I'm reflecting on what the first year has meant- the late night edits, the tender conversations, the moments I almost talke myself out of continuing, and the messages from you that reminded me why we started.

We've had thirty-nine episodes, countless Friday chats, and so many sacred conversations about wilderness seasons, anxiety, courage, grief, formation, and becoming.

This year proved something: women are hungry for honest faith.

And as we step into year two, something is shifting.

Today, I'm sharing the heart behind our next chapter--where we're headed, what we're buidling together, and the new name that reflects the movement this space is becoming.

Year one was about belonging.

Year two is about becoming.

Welcome to what's next.
