No Guilt Mom | Overcoming Mom Guilt, Parenting Tips, & Self Care for Moms 414: Raising Confident Kids Starts with You: The Truth About Body Positivity for Moms with Dr. Whitney Casares
Ever catch yourself criticizing your reflection and instantly regret it when your kid’s in earshot? You’re not alone, mama. In this empowering episode, we chat with our good friend, board-certified pediatrician and author Dr. Whitney Casares — founder of Modern Mommy Doc, spokesperson for the American Academy of Pediatrics, and author of the new children’s book My One-of-a-Kind Body — shares how your own body talk shapes your child’s confidence.
You’ll hear why BMI is outdated, how diet culture still sneaks into our homes, and the simple language shifts that help you raise kids who feel proud of their bodies — no matter their size. Listen in to discover how embracing body positivity for moms can transform how your kids see themselves — and finally help you silence that inner critic for good.
