In this raw and deeply personal episode of Body & Soul, Candace and Lisa continue their vulnerable journey into how we see and treat our bodies. Lisa shares a moment from childhood that shaped her entire body story—a traumatic exposure to pornography that led to years of compartmentalization and perfectionism. Candace relates through her own early body awareness, acting pressures, and a lifelong internal battle with image and value.

Together, they unpack why our relationships with our bodies go sideways—from treating our bodies like projects or performances, to seeing them as props for approval. They introduce the "trifecta" of body compartmentalization and explain why only a solid foundation can bring lasting freedom. They also respond to a moving listener question about emotional eating and point toward scripture as the root of transformation.

Which of the three body perspectives do you relate to most: project, prop, or object?
Have you ever treated your body like an opponent rather than an ally?
What does renewing your mind with scripture look like for you?
