If you've ever felt the pull between wanting to lose the baby weight and wanting to be okay in your body, this one's for you.

Kat welcomes back Dr. Megan Bragg, Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, PhD in Nutrition, and mom of two, for an honest and nuanced conversation about one of the most common tensions in the postpartum season. There's no tidy answer here, just real talk about what it actually looks like to nourish yourself, navigate your body image, and make peace with the messy middle.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why wanting to lose weight and wanting to love your body aren't necessarily opposites
• How breastfeeding affects weight loss (and why it looks different for everyone)
• The way family dynamics shape our relationship with food and body image — and what we're modeling for our kids
• Practical strategies for feeding yourself well in survival mode: simple meal planning, flexible "good enough" meals, and early postpartum nourishment
• How to push back against "bounce back" culture and all-or-nothing nutrition rules
• Navigating weight conversations with your doctor
• When habits start sliding toward disordered eating — and what to do
