117: Pregnancy Shouldn't be the ONLY Reason Women's Bodies are "Allowed" to Change
In this episode, I share various comments I've received when I've shared photos of my body on social media: before I got pregnant, during pregnancy, and postpartum.
We chat about:
how well-intentioned comments about someone's body can actually be harmful
how, as women, our bodies change for MANY reasons over our lifetime: some of which is out of our control
why it's important to find ways to compliment women on things other than their body
why we shouldn't only be allowed to feel confident about our stretch marks/cellulite if we've had a baby (or any other reason to "justify" the changes in our body)
learning to accept our bodies in ALL seasons and for ALL reasons!
I just wanted to share my thoughts candidly in this episode, and I hope this conversation can help shift the narrative about body confidence and acceptance.
