Episode Description

What happens when the body you’ve lived in your whole life no longer feels like your own? In this powerful episode of The Nourisher Podcast’s Recomposed series, Bonnie Kate Olson opens up for the very first time about her struggles with body dysmorphia from her teenage years, to early adulthood, to life after pregnancy and postpartum. She shares what it was like to fear how motherhood would change her body, how shame kept her silent for years, and why letting others in became the most healing thing she’s ever done.

If you've ever looked in the mirror and felt disconnected, if you’ve battled an inner critic that no one else could hear, or if you're trying to reclaim peace in your body after pregnancy or disordered eating, this conversation is for you.

You’ll walk away from this episode with:

• A deeper understanding of how body dysmorphia can evolve over time
• A compassionate look at the mental and emotional toll of postpartum body image
• Real, grace-filled tools for rebuilding self-trust and opening up to support
• The powerful reminder: it’s never too late to ask for help

Whether you’re in the thick of it or on the other side, this episode is a gentle invitation to stop shrinking and start sharing, because healing begins when we let ourselves be seen.

Until next time, stay strong, stay connected, and keep growing!
