DamChats 25) How to Reconnect with Your Body: A 10-Minute Journaling Practice for Moms

Matrescence changes everything—including how we see the skin we live in. Following our deep dive into body image with Ilena Standring, this episode offers a quiet, intentional space to process your own journey. We move beyond "bouncing back" and focus on a loving journaling exercise designed to help you appreciate your body’s resilience, its role in your self-care, and its evolving relationship with the world around you.

This isn’t just "toxic positivity"; it’s a practice rooted in the Expand Your Horizon research, a study dedicated to enhancing body image in mothers of young children. We invite you to find a quiet corner, grab a pen, and allow yourself the rare luxury of uninterrupted time. Whether you’ve been struggling with your physical identity or simply want to strengthen your self-connection, this direct and honest exercise will help you reframe your body’s story from the inside out.


If you want to find out more about this journalling exercise, please check out ExpandYourHorizon.org
