If you’ve ever tried to hold onto hope while also holding a pile of laundry, a mental breakdown, and maybe an iced coffee you can’t afford—welcome, friend. This episode is for you.

We’re talking about the real, raw, messy side of hope—the part no one puts on Pinterest. Hope isn’t always polished or picture-perfect; sometimes it’s mascara running down your cheeks, prayers whispered through gritted teeth, and the quiet audacity to believe God isn’t done yet.

In this episode, I’m sharing stories, scripture, and therapy tools to remind you that hope doesn’t require a spotless life to show up. It sneaks in through the cracks, grows in the chaos, and carries us even when we’re falling apart.

So grab your messy bun, your journal, or just your car keys for that sacred meltdown drive—and let’s find the kind of hope that holds up in real life.

Before-and-after photos: diet culture’s favorite party trick and the internet’s most over-filtered “inspiration.” In this episode of The Wild Growth Therapist Podcast, Kirsten Kilroy — therapist, professional truth-teller, and survivor of atypical anorexia — takes you behind the perfectly posed side-by-sides to unpack the messy truth. We’ll talk about how these photos often glorify harm, fuel comparison, and reduce your worth to a dress size. Expect a mix of humor, honesty, and some holy reminders that your value was never dependent on your body. If you’ve ever felt like you were only “good enough” in the “after,” this episode is here to set you free — cellulite, soft belly, and all.

Let’s be real: some days, getting out of bed feels like climbing Mount Everest… without oxygen… or pants. In this brutally honest and soul-hugging episode, we’re talking about those days when your body feels heavy, your hope feels low, and your to-do list is looking at you like “you up?” (No. No, I’m not.)

I’ll take you through what high-functioning depression can look like behind closed doors, the shame we carry when we can’t just snap out of it, and why your worth has absolutely nothing to do with your productivity. We’ll also explore how faith can be a lifeline — not because it fixes everything, but because it reminds you you’re never alone.

Whether you’ve been living in your hoodie, crying in the shower (or skipping it entirely), or just need someone to say “same,” this one’s for you.

Includes:
💤 A moment of grounding
💥 Truth bombs about depression and shame
🙏 Faith-based encouragement (with zero perfectionism attached)
🧠 Clinical insight from a therapist who’s been there
❤️ A whole lot of love
