Season 3, Episode 6: In South Asian families, “healthy” usually meant “chubby," and strength or movement were barely part of the conversation. Now as moms, we’re unlearning those generational myths and figuring out how to raise kids who feel strong, confident, and proud of their bodies.

In this episode, we’re joined by pediatric physical therapist Shivani Rami (@wigglestherapy) to unpack:
• Why “eat, eat, eat” quickly turns into “don’t eat, don’t eat”
• The pressure to fatten babies up with ghee, jaggery, and “more, more, more”
• How body shaming shows up during pregnancy and postpartum
• The cultural stigma around women working out, and why it’s shifting
• How our own definitions of fitness have changed from our 20s to motherhood
• Practical ways to talk to our kids about strength, confidence, and body image

This one’s for every mom caught between family pressure, postpartum reality, and the hope of raising a healthier next generation. You are not alone
