Does your body have a memory?  Candace and Lisa dig into how hidden stress, bitterness, and fractured relationships can surface as very real physical symptoms—and how Scripture gives language and hope for healing.  Lisa shares a surprising story about a rash that vanished when she threw away a “bitterness list,” and Candace opens up about panic in New York after leaving The View and why a Vancouver hotel triggers old eating-disorder patterns. Together they connect clinical insights to a whole-body theology: we’re image bearers, made for unity in the Body of Christ, and freedom grows where forgiveness and wise boundaries take root.  Stay to the end for a listener Q&A on anxiety, daily mental health rhythms, and learning to see the “best thing that could happen.” Connect with Lisa Follow Lisa Whittle on  Instagram: / @lisawhittle  Website: https://www.lisawhittle.com YouTube: / @lisawhittleofficial  Substack: https://letsbeclear.substack.com More Tips! https://www.lisawhittle.com/body-tips  And Lisa’s hat! https://www.lisawhittle.com/shop/p/god-knows-classic-dad-hat-1 SPONSORS -Cozy Earth https://cozyearth.com/pages/candace 40% off with code CANDACE -WeShare: https://www.weshare.org/candace -Nuethix: ⁠https://nuethix.com/⁠ Use code CANDACE -IFCJ http://IFCJ.org -Mr. Pen: http://candacepens.com/ -Light of the World Film https://lightoftheworld.com/tickets Learn more about your ad choices.
