345: How to Talk the Talk and Walk the Walk When It Comes to Body Image with Dr. Whitney Casares

Does your heart sink every time you hear your child say something unkind about their appearance? Wondering how to help them feel good about their bodies—without passing on your own struggles? You’re not alone! This week, we’re sharing another fantastic Happy Mom Summit speaker with you! Dr. Whitney Casares is a pediatrician, author, and CEO of Modern Mommy Doc, and she digs deep to tackle a topic every mom wrestles with: how to foster a healthy body image in our kids while dealing with our own insecurities. Together, we’ll explore why “body neutrality” might be the game-changer you’ve been looking for, and how small changes in our words and actions can create a ripple effect for the next generation. Join us as we dig into five practical steps to model body kindness, how to swap toxic positivity for authentic self-compassion, and why teaching our kids that “their body is an instrument, not an ornament” is the ultimate mindset shift. This conversation will leave you ready to ditch the mom guilt and help your family build a foundation of body confidence that lasts.
