Show Notes
After having a baby, a mom is left feeling alone in the process of re-learning her body. Leah explains why it's more than okay to seek support, and how that can generate its own kind of healing.
- A listener gave birth 3 years ago, and is still struggling with her altered body. She asks if she's supposed to deal with it on her own, or if she can ask per partner for support.
- Leah shares her own struggle with body image, starting at a young age, and how hearing healing words from others is what finally broke through her negative internal messaging.
- Our culture harmfully socializes us to believe that radical independence in all areas is not only possible, but the goal.
- Sometimes our partners hold keys to our healing. Leah shows the listener how to start the conversation.
