• Why I sought a second opinion about exercising during pregnancy

Knowing how much to eat and how to navigate pregnancy weight gain can feel incredibly confusing—especially when you're trying to care for your body without slipping into restriction or obsession.

Pregnancy weight gain can bring up so many emotions—especially if you've spent years trying to untangle your relationship with food and your body.

If calorie tracking has ever felt overwhelming, obsessive, or like something you "shouldn't" have to do in order to lose weight, this episode will help you reframe it.
