Your experience no matter how many people have gone through something similar is a very personal and unique to you and you're going to have to figure out what you need and sometimes you're not going to know what that looks like maybe talking about it feels good maybe it doesn't feel so good right now.

But you want to acknowledge the feelings that are coming up and avoid suppressing them.

I'm Amy and I'm Abby and as women we are constantly comparing ourselves to others but your life isn't supposed to look like hers.

Being your best self means standing firm in your decisions and always being willing to grow with a purpose.

We get vulnerable and real with an honest look into the challenges and triumphs we all face.

Every woman listening gets the opportunity to choose what life looks like for herself.

Today we're bringing back one of the most listened to guests of 2020.

We have the honor of interviewing Dr. Asherina Reame and for those of you who are not familiar with Dr. Reame she goes by psyched mommy over on Instagram and her account has made a huge waves in my life as well as Amy's.

Dr. Reame was on an episode 27 where we tackled some really big subjects we talked about anxiety we talked about depression and really that mental load of motherhood and you're so excited to dive in with her today.

So Dr. Reame, did you give us a quick introduction before we got started.

Yes, thank you so much for having me. I am so excited to be back.

I am psyched mommy on Facebook and Instagram but what you might not know about me is I'm a licensed psychologist.

I specialize in parinatal mental health, meaning that I really help women in their families throughout the journey of fertility pregnancy postpartum and beyond.

But before I began really focusing on this field, I actually worked in the field of eating disorder recovery and I worked in residential treatment for those that were struggling with eating disorder.

So I just have a passion with working particularly with women through the lifespan and all of the issues that can arise.

And that is one reason that I know you speak so well on body image.

We're just closing out the first quarter of this year and that is historically a time where people make big fitness goals.

So we wanted to dive into the subject with you.

Do you find the start of the year to be a trigger for women when it comes to body image?

Because what we know is that the diet and fitness industry really rev up their marketing during this time.

Yes, yes, all of my clients, I feel like many of them, I don't want to say all of them, have really become fixated on the goals.

I mean, when we think about this globally and we think about what happens during the time, you know, the new year and going into the first quarter as you mentioned, the marketing industry is really targeting women.
