In this mini-series episode, Jessica, Becca, and Kayla dig into the challenges of navigating body image during pregnancy, particularly for those with a history of disordered eating or those who experience body and food anxieties during this season of life.
They share personal experiences, the emotional toll of body changes, and practical strategies for managing these feelings. The conversation emphasizes the importance of allowing ourselves to grieve the changes, trust the body's needs, and reject cultural pressures around body image during pregnancy. (UGH, there’s so much of it!)
