<p><strong>Have you ever heard your child say something negative about their body… and instantly knew they learned it from you?</strong> 😩</p><p>If your stomach dropped reading that, you’re not alone—and you’re definitely not a bad mom. But if we don’t change the way we talk about our bodies, our kids <em>will</em> inherit that same negative narrative. And that cycle? It stops with <em>you</em>.</p><p>This episode dives into the subtle, everyday ways your body image struggles might be shaping your children’s relationship with food and their bodies—without you even realizing it. Brittany shares a powerful story (yep, the kind that hits you in the gut <em>and</em> makes you laugh), plus a practical strategy you can start using today to rewrite the script for your family.</p><p>In today’s episode, Brittany is breaking down the ripple effect of your self-talk—and how even the seemingly innocent stuff like “Ugh, I feel bloated” or “Gotta work off that dessert!” might be doing more damage than you think. But don’t panic—this isn’t about shame, it’s about <em>awareness</em>. Because when you change your language, you change your legacy. 🙌</p><p><u><strong>A few things you can expect to hear in this episode include…</strong></u></p><p>👧 A cringey-but-true story about a toddler parroting her mom’s road rage </p><p>📣 The one comment Brittany heard from a 6-year-old that she’ll <em>never</em> forget </p><p>🪞 How to reflect on the voices that shaped <em>your</em> body image story </p><p>🛑 Why “harmless” body bashing isn&#39;t harmless at all </p><p>🕊️ A simple shift you can make today to start speaking life over your body</p><p><u><strong>Resources mentioned:</strong></u></p><p>&gt; Join our FREE community in the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/christianwomeninrecovery"><u>Food Freedom &amp; Body Image Support for Christian Women</u></a> Facebook group to ask your questions about cultivating a joy-filled relationship with food, your body, &amp; Jesus.</p><p>&gt; <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzL8JbhEOyo"><u>Dove Legacy: A girl’s beauty confidence starts with you</u></a></p><p>&gt; <a href="http://www.brittanybraswellrd.com/course"><u>Enroll in The Joy-Filled Eater LIVE!</u></a></p><p><strong>Your Next Steps to Food Freedom &amp; Better Body Image:</strong></p><p>&gt; <a href="http://www.brittanybraswellrd.com/VIP"><u>Become a VIP Podcast Insider HERE to access BONUS resources only available to our VIP list.</u></a></p><p>&gt; <a href="http://www.brittanybraswellrd.com/secret"><u>Subscribe to The Joy-Filled Eater PRIVATE PODCAST</u></a> for step-by-step strategies to walk you through my proven Joy-Filled Eater framework for finding lasting freedom from negative body image and disordered eating</p><p>Got a question about food freedom, body image, faith, or nutrition? <a href="http://www.speakpipe.com/jfepodcast"><u>Leave me a SpeakPipe voice note here</u></a> for a chance to have your question answered on an episode of the Faith-Filled Food Freedom podcast!</p><p>If you love the show and are finding it valuable, be sure to leave a rating and review on <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-joy-filled-eater-podcast/id1658146214"><u>Apple Podcasts</u></a> or <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/7Bo0Z4VpiWozXR9ZgcaxZD"><u>Spotify</u></a>.
