We’re getting honest about our body image struggles: from calorie counting and comparison to pregnancy, postpartum, and learning to get strong for the right reasons. We share the unhealthy habits we normalized, the comments that stuck with us, and how we’re hoping to raise kids with a healthier relationship with food and their bodies. We hope this conversation reminds you you’re not alone. 💛
