E15: A Candid Conversation About Body Image in Motherhood

If you have ever looked in the mirror and felt disappointed with what you see, you’re not alone. In this episode, we get vulnerable (as per usual!) talking about our own body image challenges from young childhood through those difficult teenage years and beyond. Jenn shares her struggles overcoming an eating disorder and obsessive exercising and sheds light on how she got to the place she is now, where food is considered fuel and exercise is seen as a privilege. Join us for today’s episode where we discuss: Why we should all consider seeing ourselves the way in which our children see us How impressionable we are as children and what we see from our parents influences how we see ourselves Why it’s time to start appreciating what our bodies CAN DO versus merely what our bodies look like Prioritizing the internal health of our bodies vs the physical appearance of them The importance of curating a wardrobe that simply feels good on your body as it is today Links: https://now.org/now-foundation/love-your-body/love-your-body-whats-it-all-about/get-the-facts/ https://www.apa.org/news/press/releases/2023/02/social-media-body-image For more authentic and honest motherhood conversation, subscribe to Mighty as a Mother: Apple Podcasts | Spotify Podcasts | Google Podcasts Join in on the conversation and follow along with us on Instagram: ⁠@mightyasamotherpodcast⁠!
