When Your Body Feels Like Why You’re Rejected: Broken Engagement, Singleness in Your 30s, & Shame

When Your Body Feels Like Why You’re Rejected: Broken Engagement, Singleness in Your 30s, & Shame

Author: Jeanine Amapola September 30, 2025 Duration: 59:00
Y’all, today’s episode was SO powerful and near to my heart! I got to sit down with one of my dear friends, Nicoletta Bradley—yes, the Nicoletta from Call Her Holy—and WOW, we went deep. We talked all things body image, identity, eating disorders, and singleness, and how Jesus truly redeems it all. Nicoletta opened up about her journey through a 20-year battle with eating disorders, a broken engagement, and how the Lord birthed Noble Fitness Ministries from her healing. We also dove into the gift of singleness, the dangers of cultural lies, and the power of knowing who you are in Christ. We even touched on spiritual gifts like prophecy and tongues and how God is still moving today! I’m seriously so proud of Nicoletta and know this will encourage so many of you.
