Pregnancy is undeniably a time of accelerated body change, and for women who have had a history of avoiding their body or engaging in other types of negative body image perpetuating behaviors, body avoidance becomes impossible to pursue. And while this can be a huge struggle, it can also be a wonderful opportunity to begin the healing work around your own relationship with food and your body image.

Join Dr. Sarah and Shannon Smith, Registered Nurse working in mental health for over 14 years specializing in eating disorders on today’s podcast, as they discuss the fundamentals of negative body image, steps & strategies toward gaining a healthier one, diet culture and intuitive eating.
