142. Sick of Feeling Like You Have to Choose Between Body Acceptance and Getting Healthy? This Perspective Shift Could Change Everything!

What if you could appreciate your body as it is while still making space for change?

If you’ve ever felt caught between wanting to accept your body and also wanting to change it, you’re not alone. Culture often ties worth to appearance, but God never does. Your body is already good because He made it—full stop. But what if you still want to improve your health, strength, or energy? How do you pursue change without letting it define your worth?

In today’s episode, Brittany breaks down how to navigate the tension between body acceptance and body change from a faith-based perspective. You’ll learn how to shift your mindset, stop the cycle of body criticism, and embrace a more joy-filled approach to food, movement, and self-care. 

Plus, she’s got a powerful resource—The Body Image Cheat Sheet—available to help you take the next step toward true body confidence (grab it at www.brittanybraswellrd.com/betterbodyimage with code APRILGIFT).
