Episode Synopsis
Postpartum body image is one of the biggest silent struggles moms face—but you don’t have to carry it alone. In this week’s Love After Kids episode, I’m joined by therapist and women’s empowerment coach Alyssa Booth for a powerful conversation about healing your body image, especially after kids.We talk about:• How postpartum body image affects your confidence and connection with your partner. • Why trying to “bounce back” often leads to more shame, not more self-love.• How diet culture and perfectionism fuel mom guilt and burnout.• What real self-acceptance looks like (and how it changes everything).If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and didn’t feel like yourself—or felt unworthy of intimacy because of how your body has changed—this is your episode. 💛Helpful Links: Website: https://heyalyssabooth.com/Social Media Handles:IG: alyssabooth_lpcFree FB Group: Empowered Body Thank you so much for joining me this week on today's episode.
