The Messy Intersection explores the tangled-up place where a generation of parents seeks to raise body-confident intuitive eaters while simultaneously undoing decades of their own diet culture learnings. Guests share stories and insight about about feeding kids, feeding ourselves, intuitive eating, stress, anxiety, the mental load and raising kids with the resilience to defy diet culture and develop a healthy relationship with food. Hosted by registered dietitian Diana Rice, RD of @anti.diet.kids.

In this episode of The Messy Intersection, we hear from Clara Nosek, a weight-inclusive dietitian and the Instagrammer behind @yourdietitianbff.
Clara, who was pregnant with her second child at the time of recording, discusses the experience of being pregnant in a large body and the ways that weight stigma in prenatal care has influenced her physical and emotional well-being.
We discuss:
- Clara's work as an activist raising awareness about issues of bias and inclusion stemming from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.
- Clara's lived experience of being in a larger body, both before and during her pregnancies.
- How her body size has influenced her experience of testing for gestational diabetes.
- What pregnant people in larger bodies can do to advocate for the same care smaller-bodied people receive in pregnancy.
- How the pressure to "snap back" after pregnancy often relates to an unfulfilled need for community and identity in new motherhood.
