Beyond the Bounce Back: How to Heal Your Postpartum Body Image and Strengthen Your Relationship


Listen Later

On this episode of Better Relationships After Baby with Chelsea Skaggs, we’re calling out the toxic “bounce back” culture and digging into the real postpartum experience—one that’s messy, beautiful, and worthy of more grace and understanding.

If you’ve ever looked in the mirror after having a baby and questioned your worth, you are not alone. This episode offers a refreshing and empowering take on healing body image, communicating with your partner about changes, and reclaiming intimacy in a way that honors your new identity.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
✅ The societal and historical pressures shaping postpartum body image
✅ The actual (not glamorized) physical changes to your belly, breasts, skin, and pelvic floor
✅ Practical steps to feel more confident in your body now—not “when you lose the baby weight”
✅ Real-talk strategies to maintain intimacy and support with your partner
✅ How education and open dialogue can be tools for both healing and connection

💬 You deserve more than toxic bounce-back culture. You deserve to feel seen, supported, and sexy in your evolving body and relationship.
