Oh hey sexy mama! 😉 Yes - that's right... we are looking at YOU.

Even if you haven't given birth yet there is no doubt that postpartum body image is A THING. There is so many mixed (and usually non-supportive) messages we receive about our bodies post birth. Once you have given birth it is so important to really love our bodies - wherever they are at. Your body has done incredible things (and continues to do incredible things as you support your baby).

While developing this love relationship with our bodies can feel difficult there are lots of simple reminders or little practices that can help.

Some of the topics we explore in this episode include:

• societal pressures of body image postpartum (especially compared to pregnancy)

• realistic approaches to losing weight postpartum

• Chinese medicine in relation to body image postpartum

• doing the month/first 40 days info - and this book is also a great book related to that

• diastisis rectus - link

• belly binding - future podcast episode coming on this soon!

• our pregnancy body image podcast

• tips for embracing softness 

• how stressing over weight and body image postpartum takes away from your resources (sleep, mental wellness, etc.) in the first two years postpartum

• developing a new relationship with your body

• body autonomy and navigating the ups and downs with that postpartum (even if you are not breast or chest feeding)

• let's collectively post more post-birth body realities on social media (soft bodies, etc.) - this account is a great one for inspiration

• how to allow and ask for your partner to support you in feeling good in your body - this episode on massage and touch is a good one to re-visit

• postpartum Ayurvedic treatment

• postpartum womb massage

• wearing corsets after 9 months - also do things that make you feel sexy!
