Have you ever heard your child say something negative about their body… and instantly knew they learned it from you? 😩

If your stomach dropped reading that, you’re not alone—and you’re definitely not a bad mom. But if we don’t change the way we talk about our bodies, our kids will inherit that same negative narrative. And that cycle? It stops with you.

This episode dives into the subtle, everyday ways your body image struggles might be shaping your children’s relationship with food and their bodies—without you even realizing it. Brittany shares a powerful story (yep, the kind that hits you in the gut and makes you laugh), plus a practical strategy you can start using today to rewrite the script for your family.

In today’s episode, Brittany is breaking down the ripple effect of your self-talk—and how even the seemingly innocent stuff like “Ugh, I feel bloated” or “Gotta work off that dessert!” might be doing more damage than you think. But don’t panic—this isn’t about shame, it’s about awareness. Because when you change your language, you change your legacy. 🙌
