210. Coping vs. Healing: The Grief No One Talks About in Food Freedom with Teresa Davis
Episode 210
Tuesday, 24 February, 2026
What if the reason food feels so hard right now isn’t a lack of discipline, but unprocessed grief your body has been carrying for years?You may feel like you should be “past this by now,” especially if your grief doesn’t look dramatic or obvious. But when grief goes unseen, it often shows up through control, coping, and patterns with food that leave you exhausted and confused. Loving Jesus doesn’t make you immune to survival mode, and that disconnect can feel incredibly lonely.In today’s episode, I sit down with grief mentor Teresa Davis for an honest, faith-centered conversation about the kind of grief that lives in your body and quietly shapes your relationship with food. We explore the difference between coping and healing, why control can feel so comforting, and what it really means to surrender—not in theory, but in real life. This conversation is gentle, deep, and full of hope if you’ve been longing for freedom but don’t know where to start.A few things you can expect to hear in this episode include…🕯️ How grief can exist even if you don’t consciously think of yourself as “grieving”🌊 Why coping feels productive, but often keeps you stuck🪞 The hidden identity loss that can surface in eating disorder recovery🫱🏽🫲🏼 What it actually means to let grief be witnessed (and why it matters)🕊️ A different picture of surrender that feels safer than “letting go”Resources mentioned:Hear more from Teresa on The Grief Mentor Podcast (specifically the episodes on spiritual warfare)> Subscribe to my personal newsletter, The Full Plate Press, for weekly food freedom tips, funny memes, and personal stories from behind-the-scenes shenanigans to mom life craziness to personal lessons you can apply to your food freedom journey.> Get immediate access to The Joy-Filled Eater Course for the proven process that’s helped dozens upon dozens of women achieving lasting food freedom and better body image.> Join our FREE Facebook community, Food Freedom & Body Image Support for Christian Women, to ask your questions about cultivating a joy-filled relationship with food, your body, & Jesus.Want to help support this show?If you love the show and are finding it valuable, be sure to leave a 5-star rating and review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.
