Why Do I Have the End of Summer Blues?

Why Do I Have the End of Summer Blues?

Author: Heather Creekmore - Christian Body Image Author and Speaker August 5, 2025 Duration: 23:38

Do you tend to feel sadness or let down at the end of special seasons-- like holidays or summer? If so, you could suffer from a (made-up) condition called CDD - Chronic Disappointment Disorder. Heather confesses that she wrestles this condition which keeps her chronically feeling like she should have done more or at least enjoyed the special seasons more. If you feel sad at the end of summer, and are "woulda, shoulda, coulda" over-thinking what you wish your summer had looked like, this episode is for you. Those of us with body image issues have a fabulous way of not just lamenting the end of special seasons, but lamenting lots of other things that don't go according to our expectations. You'll find encouragement and hope from the truth of this episode.

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.
