Do you spend a lot of time and energy on beauty? Do you struggle to be satisfied with your body on a regular basis? In this episode, you will hear about the huge topic of eating disorders and the hidden damage culture lies about beauty. Michelle Johnson is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who found herself in her own therapist’s office being told she has an eating disorder herself. She then went through intensive treatment to heal her heart from what she had no idea that she had. Her personal experience, along with being a mental health therapist herself, led her on a journey to dive into the problems with beauty in society. She wrote the book Soul Deep Beauty, which talks about how we can fight for our true worth in a world demanding flawlessness. Be inspired and encouraged as we talk about a very sensitive and difficult topic. Most importantly, we talk about how you can reconnect with God and the image you are made in and how to love yourself unconditionally.
