Body positivity has challenged harmful beauty standards, encouraged representation, and reminded us that every body deserves dignity, respect, and care.
At the same time, “love your body” can feel impossible on the days body image is hard. For some, it becomes another expectation that creates even more shame.
Body neutrality offers another option.
Instead of asking, “How do I feel about my body today?” ask, “How do I want to treat myself today?”
You don’t have to love your body every day to respect it. You don’t have to feel confident to deserve compassion, love, or belonging. The people who love you aren’t keeping score of your body. They remember your heart, your humor, your resilience, and the way you make them feel.
This reel features perinatal therapists who believe there is—and always has been—so much more to you than your body. 🤍 If body image has been impacting your pregnancy, postpartum, fertility, or loss journey, support is available.
