New moms are constantly bombarded with comments about their bodies—whether it’s praise for a flat stomach or admiration for not “bouncing back.” While these compliments seem kind, they actually reinforce the harmful idea that a woman’s appearance is more important than her well-being. In this episode, we break down why body-focused praise puts undue pressure on new moms, how it feeds into unrealistic expectations, and why we need to shift our words toward supporting their healing, strength, and new journey into motherhood.

It’s time to change the conversation. Let’s celebrate new moms for who they are, not how they look, and offer support for the overwhelming new role they have just stepped into.
