From postpartum to perimenopause, what do you do when your body feels foreign, squishy and nothing like it “used to be”? In this honest conversation, Elyse and Michelle talk mumbods, hormones, comparison, bounce-back culture, and how to see your changing body through a biblical lens instead of shame.

They unpack the pressure to “bounce back,” the mental health side of body obsession, and why stewarding your health as a Christian mum is about serving your family and honoring God—not chasing a certain jean size.

Why “bouncing back” after babies is a toxic and unrealistic expectation for most Christian mums.

How a biblical view of health and beauty (hello 3 John 1:2) helps you care for your body without obsessing over it.

Practical encouragement: from movement and hormones to finding clothes that actually fit your current body, not the one you had at 18.
