This week, Aditi and Danyelle sit down to talk about our postpartum bodies, how we feel about them, and how we’re taught to feel about them by the fitness industry with Jessie Mundell. Jessie is in the business of bodies, putting her expertise in prenatal and postnatal exercise to work supporting people in their self-care so they can heal faster and reconnect with their bodies. Together they discuss central problems with fitness that are rarely brought up such as inherent bias, privilege and systemic racism.
You can find more about Jessie on her site or on her podcast, To Birth and Beyond. For immediate peer support across each stage of the journey text our National Pregnancy & Infant Loss Helpline at 1-888-910-1551 or chat on our website at www.pilsc.org
We are dedicated to supporting individuals of all faiths, ethnicities, sexual orientations, and gender identities. In the spirit of reconciliation, we acknowledge that we live, work and play on the traditional territories of the Blackfoot Confederacy (Siksika, Kainai, Piikani), the Tsuut’ina, the Îyâxe Nakoda Nations, the Métis Nation (Region 3), and all people who make their homes in the Treaty 7 region of Southern Alberta.
