## Resource

Kids are always listening. But what often gets overlooked is how much they're learning when we're not speaking at all. They're watching how we talk about our bodies. They're noticing how we react to aging, weight gain, food, exercise, and the mirror. And they're building beliefs from those observations. In this episode, I explore the powerful body image messages we model every day and why this conversation isn't just about daughters. It's about sons, too. I share my own approach with my teenage son and offer an invitation to become more intentional about what we're teaching through our actions. Because what you're practicing in front of your children today may become the story they tell themselves tomorrow. Ready to go deeper?
