Because of this show I forced myself to get out and watch my son at an event at school. Also, I am learning to love myself and have more confidence.

What the great Kelly said about Delony is so true. This man has impacted my life for the better times a million. Love Delony so much! ❤️

[@mirandaputman5742]

You're a real, spiritual, punk rock, and Christian and I appreciate you for the work you do! New fan and you came around when I needed it most!

[@terashaking4119]

I like the way John shares the truth in love, and is delicately direct.

[@karalove3470]

Wow. Amazing talk with the woman with body image issues... Going through those toddler years with all the Mom hormone changes is hard! Praying she can continue to work through the emotional parts of this.

[@rileyforbes7881]

Anxiety is "a whole bunch of little choices that you make over a period of time". Love this John! Ownership is so important to healing; I hope this lands for James as it did for me ❤

Dieting destroyed my body. Diet culture destroyed my head. Get off the diets and just be active and eat ENOUGH. Not worth disordered eating to be skinny.

[@LilymHayes]

Her story is so similar to me. I struggled with postpartum depression but I also struggled with infertility too 😢

[@jandeshon8264]

Ive struggled with the weight self image problem too, after children.

[@dancebrittany23]

The second caller was one of the best calls I've heard. Dr John calling him out on how he can't seem to connect with this guy was huge.

[@tomnohmy1273]

I gave up years ago and I shuffle through life because I threw away mediocre and I crush it daily.

[@jaylavansloun1994]

One what kelly said is 💯 ❤ Two: I am so glad someone put some light on breastfeeding and weight gain!! Everyone usually says the opposite, "oh breastfeeding makes you lose all the baby weight" I have had 4 pregnancies, one full term loss and with the other 3 after breastfeeding I would be the same weight leaving the hospital prepregnancy. But then gain it all back by the time maternity leave was over. So thank you for shining light on it.

[@beverlyhooks2182]

Very excited that you acknowledged my visit from British Columbia on your show. Love you all so much! You changed my life. Bev ❤

[@karaa7595]

There's NO EXCUSE for this selfish parenting crap. You don't lean on your kids. THEY lean on YOU! And I don't care what you've been through either. You DON'T take it out on your kids! You suck it up and care for your kid and love them by NOT abusing them. Work out your crap when they go to bed.

Oh my I connected so much to the mother dynamic. My mother was also in several abusive marriages. She never put it on me in that direct of a way but her mental health really suffered because of it and that was always on us. The past 20 years has been about her and her mental health. I’ve been taking care of her emotionally for years and never felt good enough for her in many ways. When I became an adult she resented so many of my choices and finally last year she started to really impact me seeing not only how she was treating me but other family members. I just finally had enough and did a temporary break which later turned into a permanent one because of her actions that showed me that she wasn’t learning from the break how to treat me better. She was just gaining more to use against me later. Now it’s been over a year since I’ve talked to her and some days it is all good and I have no regrets. Other days I feel sad and still feel a grief feeling about it. Today was one of those days and because of that the title caught my eye. So glad I watched this video. Although not 100% my story I saw a lot of parallels in that mother daughter dynamic that are similar to my own. I think I have really been putting a lot of this on me since I made the decision to walk away. But I think she made the choice a long time ago by not knowing and not learning how to be a good parent. I know she has a lot of issues and has experienced a lot in her life, but I feel like she uses that as a crutch to not change her behavior towards others including her children. Anyway, long story short this story made me really feel more positive about my decision today. Thank you Dr. John.

What you said about Dr. D - Amen, Kelly! 🙏🏻💗👍

[@kathleenhillier6765]

Thank you all for the work you do and what you're putting out into the world. 🤘

I feel this pain. I use the nexplanon implant for birth control for almost2 years. I gained over 70 pounds and I have never been a big lady 😞. I topped off at 210 when I had never been more than 140 of muscle. Ever. I took out the implant and lost 30 pounds immediately. Had to really work to lose the rest. Now I have my body back and I’m pregnant again. I am much better and pregnant at 6 months I only weigh 160. This is my normal. But when I was heavy I felt so very unattractive and sad. Keep it up girl!!!!!! Your amazing!!!!

[@dinadantuono1485]

As always, incredible content. Awesome stuff that is helping so many of us live more enriched lives ❤

[@JB-fq7wl]

You are amazing!! I wish you had this channel when I was going through my toxic breakup. You seem like such an amazing mentor and supporter while being honest. I love that!
