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. 🙌

Feeling like you need to “feel ready” before you can actually start your food freedom journey? That mindset might be what’s keeping you stuck.

This episode tackles one of the biggest lies Christian women believe when it comes to healing their relationship with food and body image—that motivation is the key to finally making progress. But waiting to feel motivated often means waiting forever. If your progress keeps stalling out every time life gets busy (which is... always), this conversation will be the nudge you didn’t know you needed.

In today’s episode, Brittany Braswell, MS, RDN, peels back the curtain on what it really takes to move forward in food freedom and body image healing—without depending on perfect conditions or a rush of motivation to get going. With relatable mom-life confessions and real-talk analogies, she breaks down why motivation is overrated and what you actually need instead. This is one of those pep talks you’ll want to bookmark and replay whenever you feel stuck.

A few things you can expect to hear in this episode include…

🪥 Why brushing your teeth might be the food freedom inspiration you didn’t know you needed

🌊 How to build a boat (not ride the wave) when motivation crashes

🛠️ The 3-part plan you actually need to stay consistent—no matter how chaotic life feel

🧍‍♀️ What external accountability has to do with staying emotionally regulated

🧭 The road trip metaphor that will change the way you plan for your recovery journey
