Tabria connects with friend and fellow model, podcast host, body inclusivity activist, and mom Hunter McGrady for an eye-opening conversation on the discrimination plus-size women experience and the archaic misconceptions about plus-size pregnancies, which are still being perpetuated. Hunter shares why she advocates for normalizing - not criticizing - formula feeding after grief drastically reduced her milk supply, why she vowed never to speak negatively about her body in front of her kids, what’s in her mental health toolkit, and helpful tips for finding doctors, therapists, and nannies. The gal pals also unpack the body positivity movement’s current regression, the dire need for a national paid leave policy, and the power of intuitive parenting.
