Raising Kids with a Healthy Body Image (Without Pressure or Shame)

Raising Kids with a Healthy Body Image (Without Pressure or Shame)

What if the way we feel about our child's body matters more than anything we say?

In this powerful conversation, I'm joined by body image psychotherapist Zoë Bisbing to unpack what body image really is—and how it quietly develops in childhood.

We talk about the subtle, often unintentional ways parents influence their child's relationship with their body, and why even well-meaning efforts to "help" can sometimes backfire.

You'll learn:

  • What body image actually is (and why it's more than appearance)

  • The difference between body positivity and body neutrality

  • Early signs your child may be struggling with body image

  • Why some children are more vulnerable than others

  • How parental "vibe" around food and bodies shapes kids more than words

  • What to do if your child says, "I hate my body"

  • When to seek professional support—and what therapy looks like

We also explore a powerful idea: that supporting your child's body image often starts with your own awareness, beliefs, and healing.

This episode will help you create a home where kids feel safe, respected, and supported in their bodies—no matter their size.
