Chrissy met Amy Ozier a year ago—and here they are now for a hope-filled discussion of helping a loved one through an eating disorder. It’s much harder than most people would know, and something no one is really ever ready for. But there are resources, support groups, and, of course, the Lord.
The desire for this episode is to help anyone who is supporting someone they love through their journey to freedom from an eating disorder. That could include parents navigating the role as caregivers for their children, supporting a spouse or a parent through their struggles, a sibling, a friend—it’s very encompassing.
There's so much to this journey, and we pray that you hear and feel the love, grace, curiosity, and gentleness poured into this conversation. We begin today with an anonymous overcomer’s story...

Doesn’t it sound lovely to be able to remove the influence of diet culture from mealtime? Well, that doesn’t need to remain a pipe dream! From being single and feeling mentally drained, to having a household of picky eaters, to recovering from an eating disorder—the challenges are real. But mealtime can be made easier! Ann Kent joins Chrissy to share a great tool that helps remove the burden of meal planning and get a quick, nourishing meal on the table in the most non-diet-culture-y way. She shares the difference between meal planning for a diet vs intuitive eating, how to figure out the best thing to do when you’re having “one of those days,” and how her approach to meal guides is unique. Don’t miss the incredibly generous freebie baked into this episode!

It can be incredibly challenging to feel comfortable and safe being seen—especially in online support groups. And yet… without comfort and safety, it’s impossible to even open ourselves up to allow for healing. So where do we go from here?
Enter: Josi Wahlert. Josi and Chrissy have never met in person, but Chrissy has experienced true growth and healing because God brought her into Chrissy’s life. She’s not only a supportive person; she’s also a coach who deeply believes in “gentle curiosity.” We hope you enjoy this conversation where we get into what doesn’t work to build secure attachment in online groups, what “gentle curiosity” looks like, and how your Christ-centered authority supports your healing process.

It is possible to find freedom in Christ from s3xual shame and struggles like p*rnography. (Ladies listen up, because this isn’t a topic that only applies to men.) Too many women are living with s3xual shame and guilt. And for many that spirals into eating issues and negative self-talk. Dr. Joy Skarka joins me for this 2-part conversation and we begin with her story. She also shares relevant eye-opening statistics, what parents need to know, and what we all need to hear about salvation in these struggles. Friends, I know this is a difficult topic that many would like to avoid and might feel odd in a Christian setting (because we simply aren't used to that), but I pray you will listen, if only to see what Jesus has for you in this conversation.
In this episode, you will:
Discover how we as parents can react in a more helpful way to our child’s curiosity about these topics. Learn some confronting statistics about adult website viewership, p*rnography exposure, and more. Uncover a first step you can take if you’re ready to heal from any kind of s3xual shame or struggle.Full Show Notes Here!

The 90s had no shortage of messaging that revolved around diet (mostly all things no or low fat) and exercise. From NordicTrack to our trusty VHS tapes, there was no shortage of fitness trends! And this 1995 issue of Shape Magazine I found stored in my old closet reminds us of that. Amy Carlson joins me for the second half of our look at diet culture over the years. (Be sure to check out the 80s Diet Culture Time Capsule episode.) In this episode, we continue our journey down memory lane. We giggle about the Got Milk?® campaigns, 90s grunge fashion, and tenderly discuss fat phobia and so-called "success stories". After looking at the lies women were told in the 90s, we shift our focus to the messaging for this podcast and my prayer for this show.
In this episode, you will:
Discover what we miss from the funky fresh 90s. Uncover the messaging around fat in the 90s. Learn about the big mission for this podcast & how this all fits together.

80s diet culture was confusing at best. And that’s from an adult woman’s perspective decades later! Imagine being a young girl and receiving messaging that tells you to both blend in and embrace your uniqueness. Good grief! Registered Dietitian, Amy Carlson, joins me for this episode. We’re taking a trip back in time—thanks to a pamphlet I was given at 10 years old that included diet, hair and skincare, and exercise tips so “you can, overall, look healthier, fitter, and prettier than ever before!” Oh yeah, it’s cringe! But what can we learn from this propaganda for the sake of ourselves and future generations? Be sure to tune into the follow up episode all about diet culture in the 90s!
In this episode, you will:
Discover what young girls are being told now about body image and dieting in the 80s. Learn about or revisit popular shows, phrases, music, and… stickers? Uncover what was happening on a more global scale during the 80s.

In this sweet episode of the Old School Food Freedom Podcast, host Chrissy Kirkman and guest Liesel Maddox, RDN, LD, tackle a topic that's close to their hearts: tearing down the lies of diet culture within the Church. As they dive into the intersection of faith and food, Liesel highlights the importance of aligning our understanding of food and nutrition with biblical principles and rejecting the harmful message of diet culture for the freedom of God's people.
Knowing that our sanctification isn't tied to changing our bodies or pursuing weight loss but rooted in seeking God's truth and honoring Him with our bodies, we can reconcile our relationship with food and restore its place in our lives — where food is not only for survival, but an emotional, relational, and enjoyable part of God's creation. By lifting the veil on harmful diet culture lies that have infiltrated the Church, Chrissy and Liesel share valuable perspectives and tools you can use to help foster a safer, and more God-honoring approach to food and body within your beloved church community.
