Millennial moms have grown up in the depths of diet culture - and that has had a huge impact on the relationships many of us have had with our bodies. In this episode, confidence and self-love coach and heels dance instructor Lindsay Tompkins is joining the podcast for a discussion on body confidence, generational healing, and navigating health.

In the episode Lindsay and I talk about:

• What it means to be confident as an action instead of an end goal
• How diet culture and generational patterns have impacted millennial women's body images
• Body image postpartum
• How health struggles can impact body confidence
• Why the health care system needs to stop focusing so much on weight
