Summary
In this episode of After Hours With Amanda, I’m talking about kids, weight, body image, diet culture, and the way our tiny people internalize what we verbalize about ourselves.
I share why I do not talk to my kids about weight, what I learned from watching my mom struggle with her body, my own history with body image and an eating disorder, and the mental battle that can still show up over something as simple as a cake pop.
This one is about motherhood, self talk, mental health, healing, and learning to speak life over ourselves so our kids can see what that looks like.

| 1:23.2 | I was told recently that I should start uploading podcast episodes to YouTube, but not just |
| 1:29.0 | podcast episodes filming myself while I recorded the podcast. |
