Overcoming Postpartum Body Image Struggles as a First-Time Mom with Heather Creekmore | Ep. 93


overcoming body image issues postpartum

If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and felt like you didn’t recognize yourself after becoming a mom, you’re not alone. This conversation is for you if you're struggling with your postpartum body image as a mom. 

Honestly, Postpartum body image struggles are more common than we think, and they can last long after the “bounce back” phase is expected to be over.

In this powerful episode, I sit down with Heather Creekmore to unpack why so many first-time moms struggle with how their bodies look and feel in the first year after birth… and what we can actually do about it.

We cover:

  • Why postpartum body image struggles are so common

  • How to accept your postpartum body 

  • Ways to approach food and exercise with grace and gentleness, not guilt

  • The importance of self-compassion

  • How partners and family members can  support a new mom’s body image journey

and more!
