A Lark and her Momster

Ep. 7 You're not fat...and neither am I!!!

Larkin


Featuring: Longevity Blanc de Blanc, Methodé Champinoise  -  it’s a lifestyle all about loving what you live and living what you love; it’s about the experience and living, loving, sharing the experience with others. Grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness with low sugar and high acid and the nose detests yeasty bread, along with green apples and crisp citrus notes through the many tiny bubbles.

 

Body image is a struggle for many and this episode touches on the intergenerational messages that can impact children’s self awareness around their bodies.  Lark and her Momster delve into their own histories with body image, negative comments, peer comments, and the research that demonstrates just how unhealthy this messaging can be even for children as young as 2 years old.  Momster shared about a CNN video featuring a fashion historian discussing how mannequins shapes morph to meet cultural and fashion norms and research that emphasizes the importance of parents focusing health rather than body size.  Links to the video and research are in the show notes.
