Ep. 7: Embracing your mom bod

Healing Body Image Struggles in Motherhood and Beyond

In this episode of Moms Feelin’ Themselves: The Podcast, Elizabeth and Sarah explore the raw and complicated relationship moms have with their bodies during pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond. From bounce-back culture and body image struggles to the deeper psychological imprints we carry from childhood, they unpack why motherhood can reawaken old wounds around our bodies.

This conversation offers both honest experiences (yep, you can do Botox and still love yourself!) and practical guidance, with some strategies for self-compassion, curiosity, and embodiment that can help to heal the mind-body split.  You’ll find that learning to embrace your mom bod isn't about forcing yourself to love every part of you—it’s about freedom, wholeness, and reclaiming your body as your most faithful guide.
