So Worth Loving: Eryn Eddy Adkins on Perfectionism, Aging, and Redemption

Author: Heather Creekmore - Christian Body Image Author and Speaker April 11, 2025 Duration: 38:15

In this episode of the "Compared to Who?" podcast, Eryn Eddy Adkins, an entrepreneur and co-host of the "God Hears Her" podcast, joins the show to discuss aging, self-worth, and the challenges of understanding God's will for one's life. 

Eryn and Heather discuss the pressures women face in their thirties, both in terms of their appearance and societal expectations and the significance of finding contentment in one's identity and purpose.

Eryn highlights the importance of honesty with God and oneself, as well as the value of being transparent about struggles with envy and comparison in friendships. She also delves into her role as a stepmother and how embracing God's unpredictability has shaped her experiences. Together, Eryn and Heather emphasize that understanding one's worth through God's love rather than social validation is essential for personal peace and fulfillment.

Heather Creekmore, a Christian body image author and speaker, hosts Compared to Who? Body Image for Christian Women. This space is for women who are exhausted by the constant pressure to measure up, whether it's to cultural ideals of beauty, fitness goals, or even spiritual performance. It’s common to know scripture about your worth in Christ yet feel a disconnect when you look in the mirror or navigate daily life. This podcast directly addresses that gap, moving beyond simplistic self-help or well-meaning clichés that often leave you feeling more defeated. Instead, conversations are grounded in a thoughtful blend of faith, mental health, and practical wellness. You’ll hear honest discussions about how spirituality intersects with the very real struggles of body image, diet culture, and personal comparison. Each episode aims to provide not just encouragement but tangible steps to help you live out your God-given identity with freedom and confidence. The goal is a stronger, more integrated faith that transforms how you see yourself, not by the world’s ever-changing standards, but through a lens of grace and truth. Tune in for a candid and compassionate resource that meets you right where you are.
