Hi, I’m Kanika Chadda Gupta from That’s Total Mom Sense. How can I help?

The conversation with Dr. Zali Yager (and Taryn Brumfitt) looks at body image for mothers from both science and real life. We talk about how motherhood reshapes identity and how moms’ self-talk about their bodies directly impacts their kids.

We unpack why shame does not motivate lasting change, and why appreciation and respect for what our bodies do is far more powerful. We also explore building a positive family culture around food and movement—focusing on nourishment and what to add in, rather than restriction or the number on the scale.

Would you like a few concrete phrases you can start using around your kids to model healthier body talk?
