In this episode, I'm joined by Matilda (@matildathenutritionist) and Olivia Maree (@wildnwell.counselling) from @isthisflatteringpodcast join me to discuss body image, nutrition, and to answer your questions.
The questions we address in this episode are:
- How does the concept of "bouncing back" after pregnancy affect people's mental health and self-esteem, and what are some alternatives to this narrative?
- What is body neutrality and why is this concept the preferable way to address body image?
- What foods can I eat to keep me nourished while breastfeeding?
- How can I model positive body image whilst trying to lose fat?
- What can you say when people comment on your pregnant or postpartum body?
- How can I respond when a friend or loved one makes negative comments about their body?
- How can we reject the 'thinness' ideal and embrace existing in larger bodies?
- How can social media, face tune, and photo editing impact mental health, and what can it signal if we're constantly drawn to doing this?
It's such a powerful and thought-provoking episode, I'm sure it will resonate with so many of our listeners as well as anyone with a body. We’re confident you’ll adore this inspiring discussion!
