S5 E8: She displays Godly characteristics (and her friends do, too)
Welcome back to Confidently She! Do you ever wonder if you're growing spiritually? Yes, maybe you're consistent with spiritual disciplines, but how do you tell if there's real growth in your heart? Proverbs says out of the heart the mouth speaks. Your actions will give you direct indications of your spiritual growth. I put together a list of 11 ways I noticed my behavior, mindset, and speech change once I truly started walking with the Lord. You can use these as indicators of your own growth - plus, look out for these characteristics when you're choosing friendships. The character of your friends quickly becomes the character of your own. Remember you can join the discussion on Substack https://open.substack.com/pub/rebekahbuege
S5 E7: She prioritizes kingdom unity over political uniformity
Welcome back! Sometimes Christians forget that America is not a Christian nation. It's a nation of religious freedom, which means freedom from religion as well as the right to practice individual religions. This means, as Christians, we should never be shocked or offended when political agendas don't align with our values. It's a presidential election year in the United States, which means the republican party will attempt to harness the religious voting block regardless of their candidate's personal beliefs and values. This episode serves as a reminder, a warning, and an encouragement to prioritize unity over uniformity. Our ultimate aim is not to influence American politics, it's to live in holiness as salt + light to the world, visible through our love. Listen for an honest reality check for what is most important in the midst of an election year.
S5 E6: She lives quietly, but impacts greatly
Welcome back to Confidently She! This episode is a response to 1 Thessalonians where Christians are called to live a quiet life. It feels like this goes directly against much of the themes I see at Christian conferences in America. What does it really look like to live quietly? How are we supposed to impact people when we live quietly in a world that's getting louder and louder each year? I have some thoughts and I hope it helps encourage you.

S5 E5: She enjoys gifts from God
Welcome back to season five of Confidently She. In this episode, I'm walking you through the mindset of enjoyment and why it's important in my walk with God. The gifts God gives are meant to be enjoyed to the fullest. God is not stingy with his gifts. He is not withholding, even though it feels that way to us sometimes. Remember that God is a father and there's nothing parents enjoy more than seeing their child enjoy the gifts they give them. So I'm sharing the 3 necessary shifts I made to fully enjoy gifts from God. I hope you enjoy!
S5 E4: She stopped seeking approval from others
Everyone needs approval. Call it validation, permission, praise, etc. we all crave it. It's just part of the human condition. But why do some people desperately seek the approval of their parents, friends, or strangers on the internet? What is it about that kind of approval we crave? Find out why you seek approval from people in this episode of Confidently She. Don't forget about the Substack, join here: https://open.substack.com/pub/rebekahbuege
S5 E3: She loves who God made her to be
You hear a lot about self-love in recent years, but it's easy for this topic to start sounding a lot like self indulgence or vanity. However, don't think that it's not part of holy living in God's kingdom. In this episode, I'm sharing thoughts and examples of how God wants for his children to love who they are and grow into more of who he designed them to be. Don't forget to listen on Substack where you can comment and discuss directly with me and other listeners! https://rebekahbuege.substack.com/p/god-wants-you-to-love-yourself
S5 E2: She trusts when correction hurts
Are you in a season of spiritual growth, pruning, or correction? The reality is, it's a painful process. In a culture where comfort and pleasure are prioritized, anything that hurts can be misinterpreted as cruelty. In this episode, we're talking about the goodness of correction and how even though things may be painful or uncomfortable, it's for our ultimate good.
S5 E1: She knows God's plan
Have you ever wondered what God's plan is for your life? This concept is thrown around a lot in Christian culture, but what does the Bible actually say about it? This gave me anxiety at first because I was afraid I would miss the plan, go off the plan, misunderstand the plan, and ultimately not live the life God had planned for me - which scared me! If you're feeling this way, feeling lost, or just want to understand what this means, listen to the episode to kick off season 5 of Confidently She! Want more episodes from Season 5 right now?

S4 E10 - Nutrition and its Role in Building a Positive Body Image
Ever heard of Maslow's hierarchy of needs? Social workers and therapists use it to assess and prioritize how to help their clients. In this episode, I'm breaking down Maslow's hierarchy of needs to show why getting your nutrition on track is the starting point for a positive body image. Don't worry, I'm not giving any specific diet or nutrition advice, it's all about the mindset and why this is absolutely vital - and how diet culture chips away at these basic human needs and leaves you vulnerable.

S4 E8 - How I Made My Life Feel Good & Improved My Body Image (raw audio)
Our body expectations are usually about how we look, results, and outcomes. This leaves us burnt out, striving for “better”, and comparing ourselves like crazy. What if you first prioritized the feeling you want instead? In this raw audio episode, I’m sharing my process for making my life feel really good, how I improved my body image over time, and ways you can reflect on your body relationship to make intentional improvements.

S4 E3 - The Connection Between Body Image and Mental Health
I learned I had mental health issues because of my body image. I didn't think of the two as related, I just thought that's how I thought about myself. But a negative body image is definitely a mental health issue. You can’t have a conversation about mental health without including body image and I think that’s overlooked in the conversation, so I'm talking about it on this episode.
Body image isn't something you have to "manage" or "deal with" it's something you can fix! It's a powerful tool in strengthening your mental health (not to mention it does wonders for your physical health, too!)

S4 E2 - Overcoming Negative Body Talk (strategies & tips)
Negative body talk is normalized in our culture to a point you might not realize you're doing it. It's become its own genre of comedy, especially for women, but I'd like to UN normalize this kind of thing. We shouldn't make fun of our bodies in an attempt to avoid criticism or "say it before someone else does" that's not what confident women do. Confident women over come negative body talk and this episode gives you my strategies and tips for how to have positive self talk.

S3 E22 - Worldly Body v. Redeemed Body (pursuing a godly body relationship)
Do you want peace and joy in your relationship with food & exercise? Believe it or not, God has a plan for that. You might wonder, what does my body relationship have to do with holiness and godliness? What does being christian have to do with body image?Well, let's talk about it. In this episode, I'm covering the tension between how the world views bodies and how God views them. Since we are made in the image of God, it's no surprise that God has something to say about what we eat and how we care for our bodies. This episode outlines the mindset and heart posture towards our bodies I see God desiring for his children.

S3 E21 - Style, modesty, and existing as a woman
Raise your hand if you've been personally victimized by purity culture?? Religion has a lot to say about how women should dress, but what does scripture actually say? What does God's heart say in this? How does the fact women are also created in the image of God influence how he designed women to exist in this world? In this episode, Rebekah addresses personal style, modesty, and cultural conditioning around "appropriate" dress code.

S3 E20 - What I learned from giving away 10% of my 2022 income
Giving money away releases the grip it has on your heart. This is what I learned from giving 10% of each paycheck to church and charity over 2022. Scripture calls this tithing, but for a long time I didn't do it. When we choose American traditions and culture over God's advice for holy living, we start putting our trust in things other than God. Listen in for how my financial journey of 2022 shaped me spiritually. I hope this encourages you and brings new perspectives on your relationship with money, tithing, church, and how God provides in all our lives.

S3 E19 - Being single in the church and its (unhealthy?) obsession with marriage
Dating in 2023 is crazy. There's a lot of advice out there for how to date as a christian and what christian dating should look like, but have we stopped to ask if it's really part of the Christian calling? If you attend any church service in America, you might think it's a requirement for membership. In this episode, Rebekah challenges confusing "The American Dream" with God's plan and considers 1 Corinthians 7 when Paul wrote that it's better for christians who are single to "remain as they are" rather than get married. Perhaps God is, again, trying to save us from struggles, distractions, heartbreak, and more by encouraging singleness. Listen in to get reassurance that singleness is not a disease to be cured, but a powerful (recommended) status for members of the church body.

S3 E18 - What is body confidence and why does it matter?
As we approach the end of this season, I want to level set on what body confidence feels like in the relationship with your body. There's a difference between body positivity and body confidence. In this episode, I talk about why body confidence is more powerful than body neutrality, or positivity, etc.

S3 E17 - The super cringy Beachbody rebrand and setting sustainable health goals
Most health goals are really just vanity metrics. You probably learned this from companies like Beachbody and WeightWatchers that used things like inches, pounds, and dress sizes to measure success of their health programs. But that's not health, it's vanity. Just like with Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok, some creators want millions of followers, while others want to make an impact in people's lives. It's possible to do both, but when you're chasing the metrics it's easy to burn out and lose focus of what's important. Listen to this episode to get all the tea on how to set good health goals, the cringy rebrand of Beachbody, and why people are trolling WeightWatchers on Twitter.

S3 E16 - An argument against cosmetic surgery and implants
If you've considered getting implants, a nose job, etc. you'll like this episode. Here's why I don't agree with the "it doesn't impact anyone except me" response to questions about cosmetic surgery, implants, and fillers. In this episode, you'll hear me break down a few points of consideration most people don't think about when weighing the pro's and con's of these procedures. Putting aside all the health risks, cost, side effects, etc. I'm bringing to light humanist and feminist perspectives of racial appropriation, generational confusion, and economic disparity. These treatments and surgeries widen the economic gap of beauty where the rich can be beautiful and the poor cannot. There must be a deeper level of accountability in how we approach these decisions, and my hope is people stop.

S3 E14: Putting pressure on creative projects (unedited)
I don't have all the answers, and I want to be a voice you can listen to when you're struggling. I'm right there with you and working out my own challenges in different areas of life. One thing on my mind lately has been the pressure to have your art, book, podcast, music, or hot takes go viral simply because it's possible. Everyone talks about making money doing something you love, but is that what we are designed for? I'm not sure. This episode was straight off the dome because honestly I had no idea what to talk about. Sometimes (a lot of the time) I bite off more than I can chew and over commit to things in an effort to "hold myself accountable" See? I'm still trying to tame my inner perfectionist and high achiever. I'm still learning how to rest and find rhythms of healthy productivity.
S3 E13 - Enneagram and Confidence Types
Confidence is not the same for everyone. Especially with body confidence, not everyone is going to have a goal of wearing a bikini all summer or going without makeup. You need to understand your confidence type before you can really understand your confidence goals. Just like with the Enneagram, there's a quiz to find your Confidence Type! Go to www.bodyconfidencequiz.com and discover which of the four confidence types you are. Listen to this episode to get insight to each one and have the encouragement that yes, confidence is possible for YOU, even if you're not interested in wearing a bikini.

When do you block a guy for hitting on you? Immediately. That's my new answer. Lots of women feel like it's "mean" to block a guy who DMs them with a "compliment" but is that really what he's doing? Or is he sexualizing you right off the bat and making you feel uncomfortable. In this episode, I'm telling the story of why I've recently been on a blocking spree on Instagram, how blocking men strengthens my confidence, and why you should, too.

S3 E10 - Skinny used to be an insult and how to disarm triggering words to your body image
Your triggers are signs of where you need healing. People have not always used the same words as insults and compliments. Educating yourself on how other people see the world and what used to be considered attractive, desirable, etc. helps you disarm words that are triggering for you. Body image is shaped by your experience and not everyone experiences the same thing. What is an insult to you might be a compliment to someone else. Listen to this episode to hear about where some of my insecurities came from, my ex who gave my a body image complex, and how I armed myself with tools to disarm triggering words. You'll learn how to breakdown the words you feel insulted (and gassed up) by and build true confidence.

S3 E9 - Removing ego from confidence and the reality of learning confidence as a skill
I was not born confident. Just like I wasn't born insecure. I learned both of those behaviors and patterns throughout my life. But you need to make sure you have the right idea of your destination before you set out, otherwise you will end up in the wrong place. In this episode, you'll hear an illustration from my days as a speech kid. I'm explaining the difference between ego "confidence" and true, grounded confidence. Just remember, this is absolutely 100% something you can learn. It doesn't take competing in speech for 4 years, either.
