Listener Reviews

Heather is a breath of fresh air! Her authenticity is beautiful and heart for God is palpable! She speaks to topics that are important to me: body image, the comparison trap, and how God loves us through these common struggles. Love this podcast!

I recently discovered Heather’s podcast and am so thankful to God that I did. Her honest, no judgement approach to such an emotionally charged subject makes for a safe space to listen and learn. But don’t get the idea that it’s all rainbows and flowers here. Heather really gets me to think about the reasons and motivation for some of the thought processes I have and how destructive they can be. Through Scripture, Heather presents (Conviction, at times!) how GOD SEES ME. And in turn how I should see myself. She also gives some very practical advice on what to do/how to solve the particular subject of that podcast. I never get to the end of the podcast thinking “Well, that was a good discussion. Now what do I do about it?”Thank you, Heather, for sharing your gift with us. Blessings!!

Dear Heather, God led me to your podcast in September by a dear friend of mine. I have struggled with body image all of my life and now I’m on the path of freedom! After 4+decades of running I face hip replacement surgery. Needless to say, it has rocked my world of control of my weight, value and worth. But God … in His mercy has shown me real truth and grace through your insights. As a believer for 40+ years I’m finally surrendering my food, my body, and exercise ( no running anymore)allowing Him to be my source of Beauty. All these nuggets of truth are beginning to penetrate my heart and I’m so grateful! Thank you, Heather!Cathy W. In Waco

This podcast made me realize I’m not alone and has offered a lot of insight and interesting perspective on a complicated issue. So glad I came across this!

Heather, Thank you so much for the podcast. I have struggled with eating disorders and exercise addiction for over a decade after losing 120 pounds. I have so much fear and anxiety. A year ago I injured my self after too much working out and I haven’t been able to workout as much and I fell into a whole new level of depression. God is revealing to me in this season that he is using my injuries to break my addiction. Thank you for this scripture and Jesus driven podcast. I needed it more than you know!!

Heather, your podcast has helped to give me a new perspective on my body image, taking my eyes off myself and turning them more fully to Jesus. I can resonate with the subjects you talk about and I appreciate your advise and wisdom. Thanks for being amazing! Your compassion for women and desire to see them set free is a gift from God.

I had maintained a 100+ pound weight loss for almost 12 years when the pandemic hit. I lost the in person support that had kept me accountable. The stress felt unbearable and I ate a lot. Although meetings resumed I couldn’t “get my head together” to lose the weight. My counselor suggested body positivity podcasts. After listening for a few weeks I realized that I was using the excuse that I couldn’t get my head together to avoid taking responsibility and kept up the cycle of binge, repent, repeat. I had been doing binge restrict and the shame of weekly weigh ins worked pretty well to keep me thin. I just couldn’t keep those self imposed rules anymore. Heather helped me to see that God’s love is unconditional and that he is not judging me. I realized that I will never be happy with my body if I keep comparing my body now to my thinner body. I’m learning to think differently about food and to appreciate rather than hate my body. I have much to learn but I’m not eating like a rebellious child all of the time and I haven’t had to go up a size for months so I think these ideas are starting to sink in. I’m grateful for Heather’s help. Every time I hear her introduction I feel hopeful.

I love how Heather breaks down what she’s trying to say. She’s so honest yet sweet. She talks about all the topics that every woman faces! It always helps me and teaches me to lean more on God during my struggles! She truly cares and wants everyone to overcome this issue that tears women down! I bought both of her books and have been listening to all of her podcasts. Definitely hits the soul!

I love Heather’s messages, honesty, and bravery. She goes there, and puts herself out there, for the sake of helping her listeners. Her podcast has been such a blessing and tool in my recovery and the messages in her podcast always hit home!

Heather’s life lessons on comparison are something I needed desperately! I started listening while on vacation, and ended up binging on episodes while I languished at the beach. Not kidding, thanks to Heather’s Godly messages, I am now wearing shorts, short sleeve shirts and knee length skirts and at age 67, I am more comfortable than ever in my skin. Becky McGeorge

Heather nails it, and digs deep into the spiritual answers.

Very thankful to have found this podcast. I’m 57 and have struggled with body/food issues since childhood. It feels wonderful to have a taste of freedom. This podcast and others have been instrumental in this Thank you!!!🙏💗

Heather’s book, Compared to Who?, was so instrumental in helping me heal from poor body image and I’m so, so grateful for all the time and effort and energy she pours into this podcast so we can all come and be blessed by every episode!! Be encouraged by Heather as she has truly walked the walk and loves the Lord!!

I ADORE the Compared to Who podcast! Heather is witty, knowledgeable, and fun! Too many me too moments to count. She is insightful and full of biblical truth to combat any lie that might come your way! Highly recommend!

I found Heather’s podcast a year ago—and have been hooked ever since! In the past, I searched for all the my weight
