The go-to podcast for Christian women who want to grow stronger in their faith and stop living stuck in comparison!

Are you a Christian woman who’s tired of measuring yourself by the world’s standards? Have you tried to “fix yourself” with willpower, self-help, or even Christian clichés—but still feel like you’re falling short?Do you know the truth of God’s Word, yet struggle to believe it in your daily life?

Bonus: Have you ever wished you could just pray your struggles away in an instant? (Your secret’s safe here.)

If you answered yes, then Compared to Who? is the show for you!

Each week, we tackle the real issues Christian women face—comparison, body image issues, performance pressure, insecurity, identity, spiritual maturity, and more—through a practical, grace-filled, gospel-centered lens. You’ll find encouragement to trust God’s Spirit, rest in His promises, and grow deeper in your walk with Christ.

I’m Heather Creekmore—best-selling author, speaker, and follower of Jesus. After decades of chasing approval and perfection, I discovered that true freedom only comes through surrendering to Him. Now I help women like you exchange striving for peace, insecurity for identity, and comparison for confidence in Christ.

Every episode is packed with relatable stories, biblical truth, and honest encouragement to help you stop living stuck—and start living free in Jesus.

Compared to Who? Body Image for Christian Women

Real Women, Real Hope: Erin Todd on Freedom From Unhealthy Food Rules and Restrictions 

Are you exhausted, hoping for the next miracle plan to finally work? In this episode, Heather Creekmore gets real about the emotional toll of constantly chasing weight loss, sharing personal stories about everything from Special K diets to cottage cheese pizza and the roller coaster of hope and disappointment.

Heather Creekmore discusses:


The overwhelming pressure brought on by social media and the constant marketing of new supplements and gadgets


How the pursuit of “fixing” your body can feel like a never-ending DIY project


The impact of aging on body image expectations and responsibilities, especially for women


The spiritual aspect of exhaustion, questioning whether the battle has taken too much from us and reminding listeners that our identity and value are found in Christ—not in achieving a specific body goal


Biblical insight on rest, referencing Jesus’ words in Matthew 11:28-30, and the invitation to find a refreshing, restorative break instead of a relentless treadmill


How pursuing goals from a place of rest (rather than stress and striving) could transform your weight loss journey

Ready to exhale and approach your goals from a new angle?

Today marks the exciting launch of our Lenten series, "Waiting for Weight Loss." This six-week-long journey is designed to reorient your heart towards what’s truly important while acknowledging your goals for body change—whether that’s weight loss, looking younger, or any other transformation you’ve been hoping for or working toward.

Throughout Lent, you'll get 20 short, practical podcast episodes—three each week—full of encouragement, strategy, daily prayers, and honest conversations about body image, food, and faith. Today, Heather shares her own experience, inviting listeners to consider the difference between healthy goals and making body change an idol. If you’ve been obsessing over jeans that don’t fit or other physical goals, you’ll find hope and help here.
