195: Struggling with Body Image During Pregnancy

In this solo episode, I dive into all things pregnancy and body image, from why this pregnancy feels different from the first; to the confusing concept of glamorizing my first pregnancy; to how I’ve been feeling in my pregnant body so far. I share details about the discomfort I currently feel in my body, not feeling confident in clothes or with my appearance, and the simultaneous guilt that comes with critiquing my body image. I also discuss mourning my past body confidence and acceptance, what I’m anxious about regarding the second half of my pregnancy and the unknowns ahead, and how I’m trying to practice gratitude for my body moving forward.
