Rachel Cole shares the mic with me as we share our experiences with pregnancy, about our fears about the postpartum period, weight stigma, body image and more. We chat about: - Our experiences with pregnancy thus far – the impact it's had on our physical, spiritual and emotional well-being and whether it was what we expected, - The amount of self-care that we've had to allocate to managing the emotional and physical changes of pregnancy, - The cultural pressure and beauty standards are put on pregnant people, - Weight stigma and the impact it has on pregnant people, - How pregnancy has impacted the relationship we have with our bodies and our body image, - The specific things we've done to support our body image throughout pregnancy, - Rachel's Belly Love Podcast to help people "get out of the homogenous stories of bellies" and feel more at ease, - Our fears about postpartum – depression, anxiety, isolation and what plans we're putting in place to support us, - The importance of learning and talking about the postpartum period, Plus, so much more!
