34. Body Image After Motherhood: Journey to True Self-Love | Arihia Sun

In this episode of the Beyond Beauty Podcast, host I interviewed Arihia Sun, a high-frequency business mentor and super mama. We dive deep into the transformative journey of motherhood, discuss body image, the impact of childbearing on physical and emotional health, and the unique challenges and triumphs of early motherhood. 

Arihia shares her personal experiences, including overcoming postnatal depression, the profound realization of body acceptance during pregnancy, and the different stages of her motherhood journey. 

In addition, we discuss the impact of pregnancy and motherhood on desire and sexuality, the importance of support systems, and role of societal conditioning in shaping how we perceive our bodies. Finally, we offer practical advice for new mothers on listening to and celebrating their bodies.
