Judgmental undertones, discouraging to hear
A woman called in from a place of insecurity, not having the same body after 5 kids. Cecilia and her husband proceeded to shame women saying they let themselves go and comparing it to a husband gaining 100 pounds, implying that not having the same body after childbirth equates to laziness. No talk on how the husband can support his wife’s fitness journey, work through how he perceives her negatively, or taking the kids so she can get an interrupted workout in. I am a military spouse and while my husband and I have not had kids yet, we live very active lifestyles and both intend to after kids. I find this extra disheartening to hear because they are both military couples. As a spouse, I definitely see there is a stereotype for many military wives, that they “lets themselves go”. It is also important to note that many of these women are facing depression and mental health issues while their husbands are gone for months. On top of that, they are on the clock all of the time with kids and usually are isolated/lack support from family being physically there. I do not think these women are just letting themselves go intentionally. I’ve listened to various different episodes and much input is delivered in a similar way. While I no longer am Catholic, I am Christian and still go to church regularly. I feel like rules and rigidity is praised on this podcast and represented, more than the emphasis on having an intimate relationship with God. Maybe that’s an issue I still have with the Catholic Church, but this podcast leaves me in a negative place after listening and the advice can come off as discouraging/judgemental to others calling in or listening.
