What to Do When You're Struggling to Feel Loved

Author: Heather Creekmore - Christian Body Image Author and Speaker February 14, 2025 Duration: 30:17

Have you ever struggled to feel like you're truly loved? Maybe you have a head knowledge that God or your husband or parents love you, but somehow you still feel lonely or unseen? If that's you, then today's episode will encourage your heart as you hear Heather talk about some strategies to help you feel loved. Especially at Valentine's Day, it can be hard to feel like someone loves us enough unless they are doing all the things that culture says they should be doing to show their love. But is that what love is really about? Or, does feeling love have little to do with flowers and reservations and more to do with what we believe about God and our own value? Listen and tell a friend about it!

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.
