A Mom sits in my office and repeats something she was told about her body, her birth or her baby.
And every time I think the same thing:
Who told you that?! 😳🤯
“You’re breastfeeding wrong.”
“Your pelvis is crooked which caused your traumatic birth”
“Your baby is just colicky, they’ll grow out of it”
“You’re just an anxious first-time Mom”
“You won’t be able to get pregnant because you’re in a bigger body”
“Your body just doesn’t do this well.”
And this is just a feewwwww of the things I’ve heard.
And just like that, we’ve made someone believe that their body is the problem. That THEY are the problem.
But words like this don’t just live in a chart.
They live in a mother’s mind.
And eventually… in her body.
Dysregulation becomes common place, without conscious thought — and just as quickly, everything they see, feel or experience gets filtered through this lens of perception.

In the tight shoulders.
The clenched pelvic floor.
The guarded breath.
The fascia that holds the impact of the words.
That story doesn’t just stay in her thoughts, it becomes something she carries.
And a lot of the time? The story was wrong, short-sighted, or just plain insensitive.
YOUR BODY IS NOT THE ENEMY.
But the way we speak to mothers about their bodies, or their babies sometimes is.
Tell me something you were told about your body, your birth, or your baby that stuck with you ⬇️
I promise you’re not the only one.
