I used to think holiness meant learning how to want less — less food, less attention, less desire. Less me.
Today we’re sitting down with Anna Rollins, author of Famished: On Food, Sex, and Growing Up as a Good Girl, to talk about something many of us have felt but didn’t have language for — how purity culture and diet culture quietly taught us the same message: good girls make themselves smaller.
We talk about the hidden scripts we absorbed in church and culture, the exhaustion of trying to control our bodies to feel safe, and the moment everything starts to unravel.
What if your hunger isn’t something to fix, but something to listen to?
This episode is an invitation to stop striving, to notice where fatigue is giving you feedback, and to begin reclaiming your God-given appetite — for rest, nourishment, connection, and joy.
