“If you don't quit feeding her, she will never find a man!”

My mother once screamed that at my granny after I ate a second helping of mashed potatoes.

I was 10.

I’m 49 now, but I still remember that moment clear as day.

When you were a kid, did someone say or do something that sent the message your body is “bad” or “needs fixing?”

Or maybe you worry you’re sending that message to your kid(s), even if you don't say it out loud.

Listen to today's episode. I go deep on body shame with Master Certified Coach Lisa Smith on her Real World Peaceful Parenting podcast.

We talk about where body shame comes from, how we've dealt with it in our own lives (and with our own kids), and real-life steps to overcome it.

(Hint: it ain't about slapping a happy-ass thought over all of it.)

None of us comes out of the womb embarrassed by our chubby stomachs or wishing we had thinner thighs. We learn that shit. Usually from people who love us.

And they don’t necessarily do it on purpose. They're likely trying to protect us in a society that bombards us with the message that being thin is the only thing that makes a woman “worthy.”

It’s my deepest desire that every woman examines her body shame and does the work to overcome it so we can stop passing this bullshit on.

But this isn't only good for the next generation. It's also for YOU.

Whatever your body goals are -- to lose weight, to get off medications, to increase your strength -- freeing yourself from body shame will get you there faster and help you feel as amazing as you deserve every step of the way.
