Summary

Podcaster, author, and television failed baker, Heather Creekmore joins Blake to talk about the struggle she’s had with body image, the comparison trap, and how it can consume you. We discuss why & how we get so stuck in the comparison cycle and the spiritual root of it [idolatry]. Chasing the “incorrect better” becomes a burden, but chasing the “correct better” finds us beauty and freedom!

Heather is the author of Compared to Who and The Burden of Better - available everywhere now!
