Your body just did something miraculous — so why do we spend so much time hating it?

In this episode, Charlie gets real about postpartum body image: the impossible "bounce back" expectations we're sold, what actually affects your body's recovery (spoiler: it's not willpower), and how to start being kinder to yourself when the mirror feels like the enemy.

If you've ever stood in front of your reflection and not recognised the woman looking back — this one's for you.

You will Learn:

* The lie we've been sold about "bouncing back" after baby

* Expectations vs reality: why your body isn't "failing" you

* The 4 things that actually impact postpartum recovery (hormones, sleep, nutrition & movement)

* Why being kind to yourself is harder than any workout — and how to start

* 5 practical steps to rebuild your relationship with your body

* A reminder of what your body has been through — and why it deserves your respect
