Breaking Free from Body Image Struggles and Shame with Laura Acuña

Out of the Darkness with Ruth Hovsepian

Join me as I talk with Laura Acuña about her incredible journey to becoming spiritually and emotionally mature. Laura shares her story of gaining 100 pounds in just a year and a half when she was 11 years old and how this set her on a path of dieting roller coasters, shame, and feeling less than others. We also discuss the impact of growing up overweight and the expectations placed on us by others and ourselves. Don't miss Laura's insights on her newest book, Still Becoming, which offers hope, help, and healing for the diet-weary soul.
Additionally, we explore my personal experience with trauma and eating disorder therapy and how seeking help led me to a specific type of therapy. We discuss the taboo perception of therapy in the Christian community and the importance of investing in the healing process to move forward. Listen in as Laura, and I chat about healing and redemption through faith in God, the invaluable support of loved ones, and the power of reading the Word of God for yourself. This episode is packed with raw honesty, powerful stories, and transformative truths you won't miss.
