It's Mind Change Monday, and Leanne Ellington is going to help us jump into Action April!Leeanne Ellington has an incredible story of chasing healing through silence, and finding God in the process. In her own words, she describes her faith journey:Picture this: a skeptical, bacon-loving, Hebrew-speaking Jew, embarking on a quest to explore faith after a transformative 100-pound weight loss and a series of "quarter-life crisis".It began with a whisper in my heart: "I think I might want God?!" But not wanting to go back to the old days of temple and rabbi sermons, I found a non-denominational church in vibrant Nashville, TN that turned into a miraculous journey that filled a void in my spiritual landscape and met ME in my skepticism, doubt, and curiosity in all aspects of life.All of a sudden this "God guy" that everyone ELSE was talking about that I had never met, and frankly never cared to meet…...suddenly appeared to ME --and revealed, completed, and healed parts of my story I didn't even know needed attention.Leanne has two incredible podcasts, What's God Got to Do With It? and Outweigh. She is an online coach and guide into applying neuroscience and faith to healing from body image and self-esteem issues, and we had an incredible talk. You're going to love this one!
