Description
<p>Did you wake up after your holiday meal feeling guilty, uncomfortable in your body, or convinced you “need to get back on the bandwagon”?</p><p>If the shame spiral hit hard this week, this episode is for you. </p><p>Post-holiday guilt can make you feel frustrated with your body, stuck in obsessive food thoughts, and tempted to “make up for” what you ate. But nothing about one meal (or one day) is powerful enough to undo your health, your worth, or the work God is doing in you. This episode is here to help you breathe again, slow the panic, and find your footing.</p><p>In today’s episode, Brittany walks you through a simple, compassionate way to get out of the shame spiral without restricting, punishing, or resetting anything. She’ll show you how to reflect instead of react, how to build holiday rhythms that actually support your body, and how to approach this season with calm, clarity, and Christ-anchored confidence. If you’re feeling heavy, discouraged, or overwhelmed, this one is going to feel like a deep exhale.</p><p><u>A few things you can expect to hear in this episode include…</u></p><p>🧱 The “Lego disaster” moment that explains exactly why the guilt spirals happen</p><p>🔄 The sneaky belief behind your urge to #startagainMonday</p><p>🧭 A reflection tool that will help you feel grounded after overeating</p><p>⏳ How to create simple, realistic nourishment + rest rhythms for the holidays</p><p>💣 The truth-bomb reminder about compassion, your body, and the freedom Christ designed for you</p><p><strong>Resources mentioned:</strong></p><p>> Episodes 47 & 48 on creating simple consistency rhythms</p><p>> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/christianwomeninrecovery"><u>Join the Food Freedom & Body Image Support for Christian Women private Facebook community</u></a></p><p>> <a href="https://www.thestrongerco.com/?via=brittany"><u>Get on the waitlist for The Stronger Collective</u></a></p><p>> Submit a 90-second voice note for the 200th episode at <a href="http://www.speakpipe.com/jfepodcast"><u>www.speakpipe.com/jfepodcast</u></a> </p><p><strong>Your Next Steps to Food Freedom & Better Body Image:</strong></p><p>> <a href="http://www.brittanybraswellrd.com/VIP"><u>Become a VIP Podcast Insider HERE to access BONUS resources only available to our VIP list.</u></a></p><p>> <a href="http://www.brittanybraswellrd.com/secret"><u>Subscribe to The Joy-Filled Eater PRIVATE PODCAST</u></a> for step-by-step strategies to walk you through my proven Joy-Filled Eater framework for finding lasting freedom from negative body image and disordered eating</p><p>If you love the show and are finding it valuable, be sure to leave a rating and review on <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-joy-filled-eater-podcast/id1658146214"><u>Apple Podcasts</u></a> or <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/7Bo0Z4VpiWozXR9ZgcaxZD"><u>Spotify</u></a>.
