7 PM CT via Zoom
Thanksgiving will be here before we know it, followed by the whirlwind of the holiday season. Before the busyness takes over, we want to carve out space to set our hearts on truth, the kind that steadies us no matter what this season brings.
This gathering isn't just for those who wrestle with food and body image. It's for anyone who's ever walked into a holiday gathering already bracing for what might be said, expected, or felt. If you've ever caught yourself rehearsing a story about who you need to be or how you'll fall short this season, this time is for YOU.
Long before the turkey's on the table, many of us have already started telling ourselves a story, about family, worth, expectations, or who we need to be to get through the season unscathed. Often, we don't even realize we're carrying it.
Join guest Amy Carlson and FINDINGbalance Executive Director Chrissy Kirkman as we come to the table once again for this year's gathering, exploring these quiet narratives together and what it looks like to invite Jesus into a better one, rooted in truth, freedom, and grace.
Truth sets us free, and Amy Carlson has spent two decades helping women find it.
Amy Carlson has over 20 years of clinical experience serving the eating disorder population, including her private practice in Houston. She earned her Bachelor's in Nutrition from the University of Minnesota, where she grew up, and her Master's from Texas Woman's University in the Texas Medical Center.
A sought-after speaker, Amy travels across Texas and the United States speaking at women's retreats and conferences. Her desire to reach even more women led her to co-found the Peace With Food App, bringing years of experience into a tool anyone can use.
You may also recognize Amy as a familiar voice on the Old School Food Freedom podcast, our past Hungry for Hope conferences, and the Lasting Freedom course, where she has shared her expertise and heart for freedom with our community time and time again
For Chrissy Kirkman, freedom isn't just a message, it's a lived story.
Chrissy Kirkman is the Executive Director of FINDINGbalance and host of the Old School Food Freedom podcast, where she's interviewed a wide range of Biblically-sound clinicians, experts, and everyday overcomers on the journey toward eating disorder recovery, body image healing, and food freedom. Like so many women she now serves, Chrissy's own path led her to confront the lies of diet culture and discover what it looks like to find her identity and worth in Christ instead.
Under her leadership, FINDINGbalance continues a 24-year legacy of walking alongside women and their loved ones through Christ-centered resources, community, and biblical truth. Chrissy is passionate about helping women rewrite the stories they believe about their bodies, replacing shame with grace and comparison with the freedom only Jesus provides.
We'd love to have you with us!
