23. How to Feel Good in Your Postpartum Body This Summer (Without the Pressure)

Summer is here, and so is the pressure to have a “hot mom bod.” But what if you could feel confident in your body without extreme diets or self-criticism? In this episode, I share my personal struggles with body image, why the pressure to "bounce back" is damaging, and how to make sustainable changes that actually make you feel good—mentally and physically.

Your postpartum body is not something that needs fixing—it’s something that deserves respect. But if you want to make changes, it’s important to do it sustainably and with self-compassion.

Give yourself grace, remove the pressure of a timeline, and focus on feeling good in your body rather than chasing an unrealistic ideal. No matter what your summer body goals look like, put on that swimsuit, get in the water, and enjoy these moments with your kids. You deserve that joy! 💖
