E7 - Body Image in Pregnancy and Postpartum
In this heartfelt episode of "Moms, Mats, and Manuscripts," we chat about body image during pregnancy and postpartum. We share our personal experiences, reflecting on the awe we felt at the miracle of growing a human and the changes our bodies went through. We discuss how body image issues can impact postpartum mental health and emphasize the importance of focusing on how we feel and how well we can function in our day-to-day lives rather than how we look. We celebrate our bodies as strong and capable and talk about how our choices regarding food, exercise, and self-care now come from a place of respect and gratitude. Join us for an inspiring conversation about embracing our amazing bodies through the journey of motherhood.
