Why I Don't Want to Gain as Much Weight This Pregnancy (And It's Not About the Scale)

Pregnancy weight gain can bring up so many emotions—especially if you've spent years trying to untangle your relationship with food and your body. In this episode, I'm sharing the mindset shifts that have completely changed how I'm approaching this pregnancy compared to my first, why emotional eating looked different for me then versus now, and how I've found a way to pursue health without falling back into diet culture. In this episode, you'll learn: Why wanting to lose weight doesn't automatically mean you've bought into diet culture. The biggest lesson my first pregnancy taught me about emotional eating and stress. The mindset shifts helping me navigate pregnancy weight gain with more peace this time around. Why I'm taking a bold new direction with my mission to help women pursue healthy weight loss without guilt or obsession. 🎉 Ready to learn how to lose weight without dieting?
