Description

Fun stuff today! Body image! We know, we know - not really always so fun. But we promise this episode delivers some heartfelt reflections around the subject. We live in a world where body image is a real thing. Some of us may struggle with it more than others - but the fact is most women will experience some body image related thoughts at some point in their pregnancy and beyond. Knowing this and being open to explore this and relate to it in a new way can create a huge change in your overall experience into and through motherhood.

Some of the topics we explore in this episode include:

• our own experiences and stories around body image during pregnancy

• the reality of bodies during pregnancy vs. perfect images society reflects to us
• the incredible magical changes your body does to create and make room for a baby
• why it helps to honor an embrace the supple and soft phase
• allowing yourself permission and awareness that your body will be changing and different for a couple years
• turning into uncomfortable parts of body image and finding tools to infuse love
• how your relation to body image in pregnancy will help in the longer haul with birth and postpartum
• energetics of our thoughts about our body and how this can reflect in real time
• how touch can help with body image
• how to deal with body image when you physically are not feeling good in your body (hello final weeks of pregnancy)
• building a relationship with your body (it really wants to be your best friend even when it is throwing a tantrum)
