For this week's episode on The Balanced Parent Podcast, we will be tackling a topic that I am very passionate about, and I know many of us struggle with: Our relationships with our bodies. Particularly for anyone who menstruates, getting comfortable with our bodies, how they change as the years go by, our cycles & hormones, can bring a layer of stress to our daily lives that can make peaceful parenting just that much harder. And our kids are watching and learning from us all the time, including how we think about, feel about, & take care of our bodies. I have been working hard the past few years to shift my mindset and beliefs toward my body, not just for me, but also for my children. I want my girls to develop a sense of confidence, wonder, & joy in their bodies, and I know that starts with me.

And so this week on the podcast we will be talking about our health, cycles, hormones, and how we can raise a generation of children who have healthy relationships with their bodies. To help me in this conversation, I am thrilled to introduce a world-renowned expert on this topic, Dr. Aviva Romm. (totally #fangirling over here!) She is a Yale-trained MD who aims to redefine women's health by bridging traditional wisdom and modern medicine. She is also mother to four grown and a grandmother of two (9 and 6).
