Unlocking Body Confidence Postpartum Through Burlesque with Cat LaCohie

The Healthy Post Natal Body Podcast

Can burlesque become a tool for postpartum body confidence?
This week I'm delighted to be joined by Cat LaCohie and we're talking everything body confidence.
We explore the reality of societal pressures that many women face after pregnancy, and how Cat uses burlesque as a medium to reconnect women with their bodies and embrace self-love.
But this episode is not just about burlesque.
It's about the journey of self-discovery, and the transformative power of reclaiming one's identity. Cat shares how embodying powerful characters through burlesque helped her reclaim her strength during moments of self-doubt.
She challenges the notion of seeking constant approval from others, emphasizing the value of self-worth and the joy of being in the company of the right people.
As our conversation draws to a close, Cat sheds light on the importance of being vocal about who you are, and how it helps filter out those who don't belong in your life.
She shares her inspiring journey, from building her own website to teaching burlesque classes, and how she learned to say 'I'm amazing and you're welcome' instead of apologizing for her actions.
The message of this episode is clear: Individuality, self-love and authenticity can be empowering tools to navigate through life's challenges.
You can find Cat in all the cool places.

Instagram and her other insta!
And if Cat has really made you think "Hey, I should give this a shot" then head here for online classes.
Just a reminder that HPNB now only has 5 billing cycles!
So this means that you not only get 3 months FREE access, no obligation!
BUT, if you decide you want to do the rest of the program, after only 5 months of paying $10/£8 a month you now get FREE LIFE TIME ACCESS! That's $50 max spend, in case you were wondering.
This means you can sign up after your first child, use the program and recover and then still have access after giving birth to child 2 and 3!
None of this "pay X amount a year" nonsense, once you've paid..you've paid!
This makes HPNB not just the most efficient and complete post-partum recovery program, it's also BY FAR the best value.
