176~HELP! I’m a Mom Who Tied My Worth to My Appearance with Brandice Lardner

In this episode of The Mom Show, we continue our series HELP! I am a mom who… with Brandice, a mom who spent years believing her worth was tied to her appearance and eating habits. Caught in a cycle of dieting, body shame, and self-doubt, she felt exhausted, disconnected, and far from the peace God had for her.

Through surrender, faith, and intentional healing, Brandice discovered a new way to see herself, her body, and her role as a mother. She shares her journey from striving for perfection to embracing God’s grace, how her fertility journey shaped her perspective, and the unexpected blessings that came from learning to trust God with her story.

In this conversation, you’ll hear about:

• How body image struggles can impact your identity as a mom and as a person

• The role of faith in transforming self-worth and renewing your mind

• Practical steps to confront root issues, not just symptoms, in your life

• The power of gratitude and choosing perspective over perfection

• How God uses relationships, like her husband’s love, to show His heart for us

Whether you’ve battled body shame, self-doubt, or the pressure to “get it all right,” Brandice’s story will encourage you to rest in God’s grace and embrace the freedom He has for you.

Verse from the Episode:
"Those who worship worthless idols forfeit the mercy that could be theirs." – Jonah 2:8 (NIV)
