Revisiting Why Don’t I Feel Comfortable in My Own Body? With Courtney Wyckoff Dec 09, 2022

Show notes

We’ve all probably heard that we should try and love our bodies, which seems like an impossible standard to reach — especially after motherhood. MommaStrong founder and corrective exercise specialist Courtney Wyckoff thinks a more realistic place to get to is body neutrality. You don’t have to feel good about your body; you should just feel like you have one. Claire and Courtney open up about the struggles they had even acknowledging their bodies, the unexpected ways in which motherhood changed their bodies, and sexuality and motherhood. Plus, Claire tells a story she’s never shared publicly before!
