Constance's educational presentation, "Eating Disorders 101" is a fast-paced 50 minute primer on disordered eating, including Anorexia, Bulimia, Binge Eating Disorder, and EDNOS (Eating Disorders Not Otherwise Specified). While chock full of the latest research and statistics, this multimedia presentation is anything but boring, and includes handouts with citations.
Pulling from the title of her bestselling book, Life Inside the Thin Cage (Waterbrook/Randomhouse), Constance uses her own story as a foundation to delve into the common yet rarely discussed struggle with chronic dieting and weight obsession.
With quick wit, humor, and heartwarming authenticity she reveals the private thought patterns, weird eating habits and false beliefs that plague millions of Americans each day, and offers a practical guide for finding balance and freedom from the scale.
Constance's keynote speech "The Perfection Trap" explores the downside of our national obsession with achievement and appearance, most notably the negative impact it can have on life-giving relationships. With vivid multimedia images, personal stories, crowd participation and original music, Constance challenges audiences of all types to consider how embracing a Biblical worldview can free us from living fear-based lives, and release us to impact our world as God intended.
Addresses themes of approval addiction, eating & body image, and achievement based living.
In February of 2008 Constance went a month without wearing makeup, to explore the truth about her own obsession with looking "perfect." The results, including eye opening audio and video interviews with friends and colleagues conducted during the experiment are shared in this interactive presentation. The surprise ending includes original music and an unexpected on-stage reveal that will leave audiences talking (and thinking) long after the event is over.
