We all need a friend we can talk to about anything. But it’s not always easy to find people who are willing to open up about pretty much anything. Allow me to be that friend. This is a podcast where no topic is off-limits, and we swap judgment for aiming to understand and relate to each other. Let’s just talk about life--the messy parts, and the pretty parts, and the in-between. We’ll talk self-love, mental health, relationships, body image, and so much more! Have a topic you wanna bring on? Pitch your idea to me over on Instagram @laurenmkendrick.

Ep. 177- How Body Acceptance Impacts my Pregnancy
Tuesday Dec 09, 2025
Tuesday Dec 09, 2025
In today’s episode, I’m opening up about my experience with body image during pregnancy — and it’s not just about what I see in the mirror. I’m sharing the mindset, tools, and habits that have shaped the way I’m caring for my body in this season of life, and why I think doing the inner work beforehand has made all the difference.
We talk about:
-
How pregnancy has affected my body image and why this has been the most comfortable I’ve ever felt in my body
-
My evolving relationship with food and movement during pregnancy
-
The tools and practices that support me in honoring my body through every phase
-
Why I expected pregnancy to be a body-positive experience and how that prediction turned out
-
My honest thoughts about my postpartum body and mindset
-
Why doing the foundational confidence and body acceptance work before pregnancy matters for a healthier, more grounded experience through pregnancy and motherhood
Whether you’re pregnant, trying to conceive, or simply working on being kinder to yourself, this episode is meant to give you permission to show compassion to your changing body and to trust yourself in every season.
