What did Taryn’s life look like before she started BCB?

 

- She was in a season of waiting, dealing with infertility, weight gain.

- She associated worth and how she feels about herself with how she looks and her weight.

- She’d spent 4 years of her life trying to lose weight, and she had!

- When she encountered grief and heartache, she gravitated towards things that were unhealthy (in her case, food). 

- That’s when she had her Discovery Call with J.Go about joining Body Confident Blueprint.

- She Wanted to get healthy to give her body the best chance possible for creating a life.

- She loved the community aspect of BCB and that’s why she joined.

- Taryn enjoyed hearing other women’s stories and not feeling so alone. 

- She learned she was expecting during the program!

 

Where has she been since BCB?

- She’s prioritizing herself. 

- She worried about losing herself after she became a mom, but she’s not so afraid of that anymore. She’s been able to use the tools from BCB to not fall into old habits.

- Her confidence level is so different.

- She’s more comfortable in her postpartum body now than she was the first 30 years of her life.

 

Loving your body through different stages

What advice would you give to someone who’s fearful of getting into different stages of her body? Instead of horror stories, what do you wish you had heard instead?

 

- It’s easy to say “don’t compare” but we’re all going to.

- Monitor your comparison, compare yourself. Look at what your body has done. 

- Your body has gotten you through lots of hard things. It is amazing what a women’s body can do. 

 

How have her thoughts about missing out of life changed since BCB?

- How she grew up impacted how she viewed being a mom

-  She saw her mom miss out on experiences because she didn’t want to show her body.

- She never said yes to a pool party, she never went to the beach with her friends. She told people she didn’t like the beach because she didn’t want to be in a swimsuit in front of people

- She wants those experiences now and wants to be an active mom.

- She’s embodying her confidence in her body and in her business.
