On today's episode of the podcast, I answer a question for a segment of Ask Rachel.

And this question is a really big one. It's all about body image and self-esteem.

How can we feel that we are enough, the way we are, in our bodies, in our appearance, in our hearts, and in our souls,

especially during an age where social media and the internet and technology

is such a big part of our lives and influences us, not just once in a while, but every moment of every day.

I share a lot about my own insecurities and things I've struggled with my whole life

and my best pieces of advice for how to move through that and arrive at a place of feeling good in our skin, the way we are.

Whether your dog is in their puppy, adult, or senior years, there's nothing better than more years together.

And the best way to feed their happy healthy life is with fresh healthy food.

They're pre-portioned just for your pup and delivered right to your door.

Let's jump in.

Hello, hello, hello, my friends, my friends. How are you? Welcome back to the show.

I hope you are doing well. I am sitting here very pregnant still.

In this moment of recording anyway, still very, very pregnant.

And I'm going to answer another question from you or maybe a couple of questions.

And why are we doing another little segment here of Ask Rachel?

I'm really recording this episode right here as a big, big exclamation of self-care.

I so want to give myself some grace for my postpartum time, some ease, some softness.

And I know the moment I have this baby, I'm going to feel this big longing and yearning to immediately come to the podcast and tell you all about it.

And I probably will, you know, fairly, fairly shortly after as soon as I feel ready to share.
