Dear Reader, As a new mom, you may be facing a lot of changes in your life, including changes in your body. It's natural to feel self-conscious about your postpartum body, I know I did, but it's important to remember that every body is different and there is no "right" way for your body to look after giving birth. And keep in mind...this journey won't be linear. You will ebb and flow throughout acceptance and disapproval over, and over, and over, and over again. It's also important to remember that the media often presents unrealistic standards of postpartum bodies, which can contribute to feelings of inadequacy and shame. However, it's important to focus on your own journey and celebrate the amazing things your body has accomplished in bringing new life into the world. Here are a few tips to help you embrace your postpartum body:
And if we're being honest, I want you to know, I struggle with this too. Even 3 years after giving birth... It is an ongoing journey. Some days I feel like I still got it. Some days I feel like my body is broken. But every, single, day...I choose to keep showing up. Because I am worth it. And so are you, loves. Remember, your postpartum body is a testament to your strength and resilience. Embrace and celebrate it for all that it is. |

Hey there Reader, I hope this email finds you well and cozy as we head into the chilly days of the season. It's that time of year when our little ones seem to be constantly battling the sniffles and sneezes — especially when you've got kids in daycare or preschool. 😷 If you've been following along on social media, you'll know my kids have been sick back to back over the last few weeks and it's just not fun. But fret not, my friend! I've got some tips to help keep our kiddos healthy and free...

Hey Reader, Periods suck….I’ve never known a mom who enjoys being on period, especially after having kids. So, let me know if this story sounds familiar… I started oral birth control at a young age. Somewhere around 14-15 years old. My cycle at the time was incredibly painful. I’d get physically sick, feel nauseous, be unable to move, and eventually started to have very...
