65) Body image in Matrescence with llena Standring

In this episode, Ilena Standring is back, and we're picking up where we left off from Episode 34, where we began discussing Matrescence—the profound transformation that comes with motherhood. This time, we’re diving deeper into a crucial topic that often gets overlooked: body image. When the conversation first touched on how Matrescence affects our perceptions of our bodies, we quickly realized it deserved an episode all on its own.


In this candid conversation, Ilena and Maren unpack the challenges new mothers face when it comes to body image—from societal pressures to personal insecurities that can arise in the postpartum period. They explore the mental and emotional impact of these changes, how they shape our self-worth, and what we can do to embrace our bodies through the journey of motherhood.


What you’ll learn in this episode:

  • The role of body image during Matrescence and its effect on a mother's mental health

  • How societal pressures impact our view of postpartum bodies

  • Strategies for overcoming negative body image and fostering self-compassion during the early stages of motherhood

  • Real conversations about the realities of adjusting to changes in our bodies post-pregnancy

  • How to navigate body-related experiences while raising children and embracing the motherhood journey
