Aleen is back for DST Thursday with Brittany Levine, Betches Art Director, the face behind @betchesmoms and her co-host on the Betches Moms podcast. The episode kicks off with a convo about their parenting styles and how they differ from their parents. Let’s be real, being a parent in the 80s & 90s is VERY different than it is today. Aleen and Brittany then jump into the DST Wins of the week. Aleen’s is about trying a new workout for the first time (ever) and Brittany’s is about getting back on the tennis court. They then play a listener voicemail sharing a DSTW about giving your body the same grace that you give your child’s body. We don’t shame our kids for growing, so why are we shaming ourselves? Next, Aleen reads the Dear DST of the week, which was submitted by a DST’er who’s nervous to project her body issues on her future children like her mom did to her. We then wrap up the convo talking about how to talk to our partners if they have a different approach to body image conversation around the kids and how lucky parents are now to have so many resources out there for support.
