"I’ve met with multiple therapists on and off throughout the decades of my life with not much success. I found a trauma informed counselor a couple of years ago that was trained in EMDR. I made great strides in working through some of the past abuse and trauma I’d experienced. But for 43 of my 45 years I’ve believed I was ugly, fat, not enough. It lead to a lifetime of yo-yo dieting, restricting, binge eating, and/or over exercising, asking God to help me not be hungry, to help me not want to eat certain foods, and to fix the face and body he created! A couple years ago, I had heard Heather on another podcast I listened to and started listening to hers once in awhile. In February  2025, when she began her 40 day journey, I was still desperate to get to that ideal shape and size and thought I’d try one more thing-her journey. I was in for a big surprise! Counseling took me about as far as it could go and there was still something missing. There was still something that wasn’t getting through. That missing piece was the willingness to get in the dirt with God. We always hear that his timing is perfect, and that was the last thing I would have thought when he met me last year. Because, with Heather and Tara, he took me on this journey of facing my ideal body-my IDOLS right in the midst of discovering my husband’s deep pornography addiction.

Working on body image issues at the same time that I discovered something that had the capacity to wreck my body image, and still be willing to look at my stuff, was not something I anticipated.

But God has been faithful!!! He has shown up for me and continued to peel back the things that I am holding so tightly to. Through working each of Heather’s courses and coaching with Tara-who is a beautiful and compassionate soul, God met me in my deepest pain and revealed to me my most destructive idols all at the same time. I have made more progress and found more freedom in the past year than I did in all those years of therapy. To Jesus be the glory!"

"I am beyond grateful that God led me to Heather and Tara through Compared to Who. For most of my adult life, I lived in disordered eating while genuinely believing I was walking in God’s will — that I had found the “solution.” I couldn’t see the idolatry hidden in my rigidity or how much approval and false righteousness I was chasing as I became smaller and more underweight.

"Working with Heather and Tara in a biblically, God-centered, safe place, where I was able to be honest, authentic, vulnerable and emotionally connected without feeling judged was a God-send to me. When the enemy started twisting my thoughts about who I am in Christ, the Holy Spirt guided Tara to share a similar experience and God gently guided me back into His safe arms and reminded me of who I am in Him. I Praise God for Heather and Tara’s discipleship by discipling us with God's word. “Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ”, Philippians 1:6, NKJV."

"Before working with Heather, I didn’t realize how deeply I was stuck in patterns of body image obsession and food restriction—the kind that had followed me since grade school. Despite being a health and wellness coach myself, my worth and mood hinged on the number I saw on the scale. I believed freedom from these struggles would only come once I reached a certain weight, but contentment never lasted—my goals kept shifting, and my dissatisfaction grew, spilling into other areas of my life.

Finding Heather was truly divine intervention. I discovered her while searching for help for someone else, but soon realized God was inviting me to begin my own healing journey. Her Body Image Freedom Framework class was challenging, but it rocked my world in the best way. Heather’s gentle coaching and spiritual insight helped me see just how much I’d made body-image an idol—even without realizing it. For the first time, I started surrendering control and inviting God into the process, trusting that real transformation happens from the inside-out.

Through Heather’s wisdom, support, and patience, I learned what freedom looks like—not in shrinking my body, but in reclaiming joy, mental peace, and a healthy relationship with food and myself. I am finally living, not just existing." Listen to Her Full Story Here

"Joining coaching with Heather and Tara was a turning point in my healing journey. Before working with them, I spent years cycling through diets, feeling an overwhelming amount of shame and unworthiness because of my body. I knew diets didn’t work, but I couldn’t let go of the idea that being in a bigger body meant I was invisible, unhealthy, and less worthy. I was stuck in a place of feeling lost and discouraged, and I desperately wanted someone to just tell me what to do to “fix it.”

Through the coaching groups, something gradually shifted for me. At first, it wasn’t obvious—but with each session, as I listened to other women who shared the same struggles, I started feeling less alone and more hopeful. I realized that my worth had nothing to do with the number on the scale. Working closely with Tara and going through the courses, I was able to address deeper thought patterns, shame, and the ways I’d objectified myself for years.

Now, I genuinely appreciate this body God gave me, regardless of its size. Coaching helped me trade self-hate and hiding for real freedom. I no longer obsess about my weight or food—I am all in for what God has for my life, and that is the greatest gift this process could have given me. Continuing my work with Tara has made such a difference, not just in body image, but in all areas of my life. The support and guidance have given me tools and confidence to face challenges with a new perspective every day." Listen to Her Full Story Here

"After more than 50 years of battling body image issues, I can honestly say that working with Heather and Tara through the 40 Day Journey, Body Image Freedom Framework, and The Attunement Reset has been life-changing.

For decades, I searched for answers in diets, exercise programs, and the latest “fix,” believing the solution had to be out there somewhere. But it wasn’t until I began this journey with Heather and Tara that I realized what I truly needed wasn’t self-help — it was godly help. Through their faithful guidance and Christ-centered teaching, I am experiencing a freedom I never knew was possible.

Not only am I finding healing in my relationship with my body, but I’ve also grown closer to the Lord in the process. Heather and Tara don’t just offer information — they walk alongside you, pointing you back to truth, grace, and the transforming power of God. Their coaching and the group support have been incredible. Even after the courses, our group continues to meet and encourage one another, which speaks volumes about the community they cultivate.

When I think about the money I’ve spent over the past 50 years on diet plans, exercise equipment, and programs that promised change but never delivered peace, it’s heartbreaking. But I can confidently say this was a worthy investment — physically, spiritually, and mentally. Working with Heather and Tara has not only brought healing, it has brought hope. And for that, I am deeply grateful.

"As I reflect on my journey to healing, I am overwhelmed with gratitude for Heather and Tara and the transformative impact they’ve had on my life. For over 60 years, I carried the heavy burden of body image struggle. My days were consumed with calorie counting, daily weigh-ins, and a deep-seated fear of food—habits I started in childhood and carried through adulthood, always believing this was simply “who I was.” I never spoke to anyone—not even my husband—about the internal pain and self-judgment I lived with every day.

Discovering the Compared to Who? podcast was a turning point. Hearing Heather and other women share their stories felt like oxygen to my soul. The 40 Day Journey and the Body Image Freedom Framework, coupled with Tara’s compassionate coaching, challenged my entire perspective. For the first time, I connected my faith with my struggles, learning that my worth is not tied to the number on the scale or what I eat, but to a loving God who cares more about my heart than my appearance.

Working with Tara has been such a gift in my healing journey. Her wisdom and encouragement have meant so much, but her honesty about her own struggles impacted me most — it reminded me this is a daily surrender and helped me feel less alone.

Through our sessions, I’ve grown deeply in my faith and trust in the Lord. I’m so grateful for Tara’s guidance and the way she continually points me back to Christ. She truly has been a gift from God in my healing.

Today, I experience a freedom I never thought possible. I’m eating without guilt, living with more joy, and embracing my identity in Christ. This journey truly changed my life, and I am forever grateful for Heather and Tara’s guidance and support. Listen to Her Full Story Here

"Coaching with Heather and Tara has been such a powerful part of my healing journey. Through it, I’ve experienced not just practical guidance, but deep heart transformation. Having someone walk alongside me — speaking truth, offering encouragement, and gently challenging the lies I believed — helped me step into freedom I didn’t think was possible.

What impacted me most was the safe space to be honest about my struggles without shame. They helped me see that healing isn’t about striving harder, but about surrendering daily and inviting God into the broken places. I’ve grown so much in my faith and trust in the Lord, and while I know I’m still on the journey, I am incredibly grateful for how coaching has helped restore hope, renew my mind, and lead me closer to true freedom." Listen to Her Full Story Here
