    Feb 16 2026

    In this deeply honest and hope-filled conversation, Lindsey sits down with Meredith, Morgan, and Kasey to talk about body image, disordered eating, and the healing Christ offers. Meredith shares her personal testimony of struggling with an eating disorder as a college athlete and coach. Morgan—a licensed counselor serving teens, college students, young adults, and adults navigating life’s challenges—offers clinical and spiritual insight shaped by her work in body image and eating disorder recovery. Kasey, an intuitive eating health educator, personal trainer, and founder of Joyful Health Co., brings encouragement from her own story and her passion for helping women find freedom with food and fitness by grace.

    Together, they explore the emotional, physical, and spiritual layers beneath these struggles and consider how the gospel tenderly reshapes the way we see our bodies, beauty, and care for ourselves. From recognizing warning signs and seeking wise support to cultivating practical rhythms of healing and hope, this conversation reminds us that freedom is possible—and that our bodies were created for God’s glory, not our striving.
