In this episode we discuss:👉 Snapback culture and the horrendous ways it shows up for birthing people👉 How our bodies can change during and after pregnancy and the shame often associated with this👉 The anti-fatness of '9 months in, 9 months out' pictures👉 Ways to help protect your embodiment in the postpartum periodCome and let us know what you thought of the episode in the comments over on canihaveanothersnack.com.
