Motherhood, Body Image, and Unlearning the Rules

In this episode of Feed the Matriarchy, Heather and Johanna dive into the complicated realities of parenting kids around body image while also unlearning the messages we inherited ourselves. Together, they explore motherhood, self-esteem, social media, and the pressures children face growing up in a culture obsessed with appearance. Through personal stories, practical strategies, and honest reflection, they discuss how to foster body trust, inclusivity, curiosity, and self-compassion in kids—without needing to be perfect ourselves first. This conversation is about raising children who feel at home in their bodies while learning to reconnect with our own along the way.
