67. Pregnancy, Clothes Shopping, & Bounce Back Culture - How to Approach Better Body Image During Seasons of Change with Kate Griege

We are immersed in a culture that puts so much pressure and worth on what your body looks like, so it can be a really difficult journey to find peace and navigate times when your body is changing.There is a huge unrealistic expectation for women to look a certain way, and especially to ‘bounce back” after times of body change, but in this episode, you’ll learn specific ways you can keep a positive mindset and healthy relationship with your changing body.In today’s episode, I’m joined by my friend and colleague Kate Griege, a certified eating disorder specialist RD and outpatient dietitian at Wonderfully Made Nutrition Counseling, and we’ll be talking all about body image during pregnancy, “bounce back culture,” and navigating all the emotions and struggles that come with that. We’ll talk about expectations and pressures that women face during seasons of change and how we have overcome some of the hardships that come with body change during pregnancy.Topics discussed in this episode include: 🤯 The prevalence of body image struggles pre- and post-partum💁‍♀️ Practical tips to deal with your changing body and minimize external pressures❤️ Letting go of people-pleasing🤔 Navigating body comments​​🤰 Our best tips for approaching better body image during pregnancyResources mentioned:>>> FINDINGbalance free downloads>>> Episode 44 - From Approval Addiction to Authenticity: The Christian Woman's Guide to Overcoming People-PleasingBecome a VIP Podcast Insider HERE to access BONUS resources only available to our VIP list.Enroll in The Joy-Filled Eater course!>>> Join me and a community of crazy incredible women inside The Joy-Filled Food Freedom Society!Join our FREE community in the Food Freedom & Body Image Support for Christian Women Facebook group to ask your questions about cultivating a joy-filled relationship with food, your body, & Jesus.Got a burning question about food freedom, body image, faith, or nutrition?
