99. Dealing with Unwanted Body Comments
People LOVE to comment on pregnant and postpartum people's bodies for some reason. And these (often well-meaning) comments can sometimes rub you the wrong way or make you self-conscious. In this episode, I'll walk you through how I personally separate from these comments so they don't sink too deep. I encourage you to do this mindset exercise as well!

98. The Harmful Effects of Bouncing Back Postpartum (and what to do instead) with Natalie Welch, RD
If you’re a mom and you’re on social media, chances are that you’ve seen a celebrity post “perfect-looking” pictures of themselves 1 month after having a baby. Meanwhile, you have dirty hair and spit-up on the shirt you’ve been wearing for 2 days and still wearing maternity sweats. The idea that we need to bounce back after baby is known as ‘bounce back culture.' It's everywhere, and it can be harmful on both the physical and mental health of moms.
In this episode of the Strong Mama Podcast, I chat with Natalie Welch, RD of Natalie Welch Nutrition. In our conversation we talk about the societal pressures to bounce back after having a baby, and the harmful mental and physical effects of doing so. She also shares valuable insights to help stop comparing your journey to others and tips to support your postpartum healing and goals from a healthy place.

97. The "Mom Pooch"
Disclaimer: this is not a "lose the pooch" episode. But, having seen questions about it come up in my community more lately, I wanted to shed some light on this topic from a functional perspective to unveil what could truly be going on with your postpartum core. At the end of the day, you do not need "fixing" and whether or not you have this appearance has no impact on your worth as a human being.
Join me to chat about what is exactly the so-called "mom pooch" is, what are some underlying causes, and action steps for TRUE healing.
