Episode 2704: Crystal Karges explores the emotional and identity shifts that come with new motherhood, challenging the harmful idea that postpartum wellness is defined by weight loss. She offers compassionate, practical strategies, like intuitive eating, gentle movement, and releasing unrealistic expectations, to help mothers honor their bodies, protect mental health, and embrace this transformative season without succumbing to diet culture. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.crystalkarges.com/blog/why-weight-loss-doesnt-mean-wellness-in-postpartum Quotes to ponder: "Choosing to care for your body by not forcing an arbitrary standard of weight loss does not mean you are letting yourself go." "You just need to give yourself care, compassion, and time to bloom where you have been planted in this new season of life." "Hanging on to clothes that don’t fit your changing, postpartum body will only worsen your body image and make you feel bad about yourself."
