The term body positivity didn’t start as an Instagram trend—it began as a movement advocating for marginalized bodies and systemic change. In this conversation, we explore how that origin story often gets lost when we talk about “loving your body” as moms. We contrast it with body neutrality, a gentler approach focused on function over appearance, and reflect on how both frameworks can help—or hurt—depending on the day. If you’ve ever felt pressure to love your stretch marks or felt guilt for not, this one’s for you.
