Parenting is a journey filled with unexpected conversations, and body image is one of those topics that can catch you off guard. In this episode, Heather Adams, Strength and Nutrition coach and mom of 6, returns to dive deeper into raising kids with a balanced, healthy relationship with their bodies, food, and movement. With her own children and years of experience coaching others, she shares invaluable insights on guiding children through the ups and downs of self-perception while keeping our own biases and anxieties in check.
From tackling the differences in how boys and girls experience body image issues to fostering open and honest conversations, this discussion is filled with practical wisdom, heartfelt moments, and a few humorous parenting analogies you won’t forget. If you've ever wondered how to help your child navigate the complexities of body image, confidence, and self-acceptance—without overcorrecting or imposing your own fears—this episode is for you.
