#108: Nourishing an Anti-Diet Pregnancy with Bri Custer
Manage episode 405780550 series 3325565
There is a special brand of diet and wellness culture that comes for you when you're pregnant. From the “permission” for your body to change, to pressure around food choices, to beauty standards for pregnant people, we're getting into it all.
Artist Bri Custer joins the pod to share, vulnerably, about what pregnancy has been like as she heals from a lifetime of disordered eating, and works towards a peaceful relationship with her body. Bri is so special to me as a human being, a friend, and a client. She has done so much reflection around these topics and I think you'll get a lot out of this conversation, whether you are pregnant, considering getting pregnant, or even if you don't ever plan to.
Gentle reminder that this can be a sensitive, difficult, and personal topic. I know this from personal experience. Please listen to this episode if it feels compassionate and kind to listen to a conversation about pregnancy. You are always loved and supported here.
We discuss:
Bri's experience with dieting as a child
Unpacking generational cycles of body shame and restriction
The temporary permission that society gives us for our bodies to change during pregnancy
The pressure to maintain a specific diet during pregnancy to maintain your own health and a child's
The blame and shame around not "eating right" during pregnancy
The popularity of post-partum exercise programs and the harm they can cause
The pressure for dietary changes to combat PCOS and infertility issues pre-pregnancy
The importance of combating food morality and going back to foods we love as a kid during times where food and eating is difficult during pregnancy
How pregnancy is a wonderful lesson in trusting the wisdom of your body
Setting boundaries around social media and mental resilience to diet culture during pregnancy
Challenges around body image during pregnancy
Asking not to be weighed before and during pregnancy, and if weight is needed to monitor one's health and their growing child's
Beauty standards during pregnancy and how harmful they are
Body checking during & after pregnancy and the importance of centering curiosity and compassion
