Ep 142: How To Have Friendship Boundaries // Draw The Line Series with Bianca Juarez Olthoff
Have you turned your boundary line into a boundary wall? If you find yourself lonely because of unrealistic boundaries, today you can take a sledge hammer and Bring.The.Wall.Down.

The challenges that come with maintaining healthy relationships
The different levels of friendships

Ep 138: Dealing With Church Hurt, Offense Journal, And Ramming The Gate with Larry Brey Bianca Juarez Olthoff
Have you ever experienced church hurt? Is there an offense that has been causing you bitterness? If this is your case, I want you to know that I’m so sorry for the hurt that you have experienced. My friend, Pastor Larry Brey, from Elevation Church, and I sat down to discuss the topic of church hurt and how to overcome it. Our goal is to parse out the realities of:
Dealing with and overcoming Church hurt
Recognizing offenses and processing them early
Practicing gratitude and focusing on personal growth
Church hurt is real. It could stem from a misunderstanding or something else. Please remember, the church didn’t hurt you, a person did. That’s why it is important to speak up and share your hurt. It is also equally important to listen and understand what others are saying and feeling. Gratitude and offense journals are two practical ways to help you process this hurt. Tag me @BiancaOlthoff and @lbrey and let us know how this practice is making a difference in your life.Love you,BRESOURCES/LINKSGuestPastor Larry BreyTFHOC Sermon: First Things FirstIG:https://www.instagram.com/lbrey/?hl=enQuoteAny seed that is planted in silence will grow a fruit of bitterness.Takeaways
Burying the past hurts and not letting them define your identity.
Use an offense journal to process and deal with offenses.
Take responsibility for your own actions and apologize when necessary.
Practice gratitude and focus on personal growth.

Ep 135: Dismantling Diet Culture - Day 3 The Weighting Game Series with Leslie Schilling and Bianca Juarez Olthoff
Are you aware of diet culture infiltrating safe spaces like school or church? Everyone is on a journey of their own. I want to make sure that as we talk about the impact of diet culture in the church, that we do it from a place of love, kindness, grace, health, and healing.I believe that we can have meaningful conversations around the topic of weight by:
Being receptive to the needs of others
Extending grace and not shaming or judging others
Considering everyone’s individual circumstances
Friends, as you continue to walk with God, remember that He is compassionate and gracious. Ask Him to guide you as you grow in relationship with Him and learn to separate yourself from diet culture. Food is a gift from God! Tag me @biancaolthoff and @leslieschilling and let us know how this conversation has transformed your mindset around food.Love,BRESOURCES/LINKSGuestLeslie Schilling: https://www.leslieschilling.com/ Book: Feed Yourself: Step Away from the Lies of Diet Culture and into Your Divine Design IG: https://www.instagram.com/leslieschilling/FB: https://www.facebook.com/NutritionLeslie QuoteIs it really biblical to be chasing a number on the scale?Takeaways
Diet culture has infiltrated the church and made it an unsafe place for discussions about body image and health.
The 'body as a temple' verse has been misused to shame and judge others based on their appearance.
Fasting can be practiced in a healthy and holy way, but it is important to consider individual circumstances and avoid harmful behaviors.
Alternative fasting options, such as abstaining from social media or comparison, can be just as meaningful and impactful.
Self-discipline should be redefined as honoring hunger and taking care of our bodies, rather than pursuing a specific body size.
Toxic detoxes should be avoided, and emotional eating should be addressed with the help of therapy or other forms of support.

Ep 134: Finding Happiness Beyond Weight Loss - Day 2 The Weighting Game Series with Leslie Schilling and Bianca Juarez Olthoff
Does it seem like everywhere you go someone is asking you for your weight? Are you tired of obsessing over the number on your weight scale? Real talk - I’m tired too! Let’s be honest friends, talking about weight issues is uncomfortable. That’s why Registered Dietitian and Nutrition Therapist is back with us for day 2 of The Weighting Game series. Today we discuss:
The issues with the scale
Bodies are miracles, not math
Weight-centric training and health
The flaws of BMI and Body Fat Percentage
Recognizing disordered eating and body grief
Determining health and wholeness beyond numbers
There are so many dangers in pursuing an unrealistic body image. We need to recognize that body diversity is important in our society and that there is no one-size-fits-all definition of health. Overall health and well-being start with healthy connections and relationships. Let’s make it a goal to prioritize holistic health and freedom from diet culture.You are not alone, friend. Tag me @biancaolthoff and @leslieschilling and share how you are finding food freedom in your life.Love,BRESOURCES/LINKSGuestLeslie Schilling: https://www.leslieschilling.com/ Book: Feed Yourself: Step Away from the Lies of Diet Culture and into Your Divine Design IG: https://www.instagram.com/leslieschilling/FB: https://www.facebook.com/NutritionLeslie QuoteWe have to come to grips with the fact that you may never be in the body that this culture promised you.Takeaways
Weight-centric training and the focus on the number on the scale can be harmful and perpetuate diet culture.
Health is multifaceted and cannot be determined solely by weight or body size.
Body diversity is important, and there is no one-size-fits-all definition of health.
Connections and relationships play a significant role in overall health and well-being.
BMI is not an accurate or reliable measure of health, and body fat percentage should be considered instead.
Disordered eating can manifest in various ways and is not limited to extreme cases.
Determining health and wholeness should involve regular nourishment, movement, good relationships, and self-care.
The goal is to prioritize holistic health and freedom from the constraints of diet culture.
