ITW #13: Nourished, Not Optimized

from In the Wash · host Erin Acharya

What does it mean to nourish yourself in a season that's already asking everything of you? This episode explores the cultural pressure to eat perfectly during pregnancy and postpartum, why the optimization list keeps growing, and what a quiet, sustainable relationship with food might actually look like. Join us as we explore what's possible and I share what I do to manage the overwhelm.
