I Love My Baby, And...
Motherhood is awesome. But not always. Holding space for the best parts of motherhood seems impossible when the challenging parts feel really heavy – and vice versa! Erin, licensed therapist, and Ruby, licensed therapist candidate, hold nothing back when talking about the dual realities associated with this chaotic, wonderful, hard, hilarious, sad, and undeniably happy part of life. This podcast is a place for community. Submit your thoughts, feelings, or wonderings to our voicemail box or email, and let’s talk about it! We can't wait to hear from you.
I Love My Baby, And...
I Love My Baby, and…Why Is Everyone So Freely Talking about My Body Now?
Body image obsession certainly doesn’t start in adulthood. But the liberties people take when they’re around someone who is pregnant (and, let’s be honest, after) to comment on, touch, or ask weird questions about their bodies is taken to a whooooolllllleeeee other level.
In this week’s episode, Ruby and Erin dive into the commentary surrounding pregnancy and body image - who it comes from, how it’s become a societally acceptable thing to do, and steps you can take to ensure they’re not messages you internalize.
