Your part that wants to hide
from Lift the Shame: The Podcast - Mothering Free From Diet Culture, Food Guilt, and Body Shame · host Crystal Karges
Maybe part of you wants support because you are tired of carrying this quietly.And maybe another part of you wants to hide because being seen still feels risky.That makes so much sense.In this companion audio, we’re sitting with the tender place so many mothers in eating disorder recovery know well: the longing to be supported and the fear of being seen at the same time.We’ll gently explore why support can feel both relieving and scary, especially when food, body, pregnancy, postpartum, feeding children, shame, and the fear of passing this on have been carried quietly for so long.This audio is for the mother who has opened the Nourished Motherhood page, felt something stir, and then wondered:What if I’m too much?What if I’m not struggling enough?What if I join and don’t know what to say?What if I show up and still feel stuck?What if I let myself hope, and I’m disappointed?You do not have to be fully ready to receive support.You do not have to be in crisis.You do not have to prove that this has been heavy enough.You are allowed to come slowly.Nourished Motherhood is open now through Tuesday, June 2 at 11:59pm PT, or until all 15 spots are filled. Our first live call is Wednesday, June 3 at 4pm PT, and calls will be recorded if you cannot attend live.If enrollment has already closed by the time you listen, you can still visit the link below to learn more and join the waitlist for a future cohort.
