How to Break Free from Self-Image Issues — with Jen Lilley

Have you ever felt like no matter how much you achieve, how you look, or how hard you try… it’s still not enough?

In this heartfelt episode of the She’s So Well podcast, Allie Marie Smith sits down with actress and author Jen Lilley for an honest, hope-filled conversation about the hidden pressures so many women carry. Together, they unpack the cultural messages that tell us our worth is tied to beauty, success, or perfection—and how those messages can quietly lead to anxiety, self-doubt, and even struggles with food and control.

With vulnerability and grace, Jen shares her personal journey through faith, healing, and learning to trust God amid deep insecurity. She opens up about her experience with eating disorders, the emotional roots beneath them, and how discovering her true identity in Christ changed everything.

If you’ve ever wrestled with self-image…
If you’ve questioned your worth…
If you’ve felt exhausted trying to hold it all together…

This conversation is for you.

You’ll be reminded that:

Your value isn’t defined by culture’s standards.
God is not intimidated by your doubts or questions.
Healing is possible—even when it feels far away.
You are fearfully and wonderfully made.
Trusting God brings more freedom than striving for perfection ever could.

Whether you’re walking through a season of struggle, searching for purpose, or simply longing to feel secure in who you are, this episode offers gentle encouragement and truth rooted in love.
