Season 1
Episode One: This is an introduction to Compared to Who? where I share my story of walking out of body image and comparison shame and frustration! If you’re new here – you’ll want to listen to this first episode.
Episode Two: What is Body Image Idolatry? In this episode I introduce the concept of body image idolatry. We so often think our body image issues are just problems with our bodies, but there is a secret, hidden problem that, until it’s addressed, you can be a size 2 or a size 22 and you’ll still struggle with body image shame.
Episode Three: New Year, New You. In this episode I talk about the concept of reinvention. Do women really need to “reinvent” themselves every year? Is that even a biblical principle? Can you have goals and meet them this year without having to feel like you need an entirely new you? Listen and see!
Episode Four: Habits that Keep Us Stuck. Here we get down and dirty . . . digging into places we all hate to go — our habits! Are there things we do everyday that are keeping us trapped in our body image issues? If so, what can or should we do to find new freedom?

Episode Seven: Is Comparison Killing You? Oh friend, comparison is a killer.It kills relationships. It kills joy. It kills contentment. How do you know if it’s killing you? Listen to find out.
Episode Eight: How to Find Your Purpose. Purpose can sound so lofty and “amorphous.” How can finding purpose even really help cure my other struggles with body image or comparison? This episode will tie it all together and you may be surprised to find how purpose can be part of the cure.
Episode Nine: What About Leah? Body Image and Comparison in the Rachel & Leah Story. Leah wasn’t hot. Why do so many Bible teachers brush over this truth? Doesn’t it make sense to examine why the God of the universe makes this distinction in the Bible? Fascinating truths here. **RANKED A BEST EPISODE**
