I’ve been reflecting on the past 17 months as a mom s lot lately. Realizing how far I have come and how much I wish I could go back and hug that freshly postpartum version of me. I said this yesterday in an interview, but I wish I could post up outside the hospitals and just hold the new moms leaving with their potato-sack-newborns and promise them that it gets better. So, for now, I will use this platform to get that message out to all of you. If you are struggling, I promise it is temporary, you will find yourself, and it is worth it. One of you commented this on my tiktok and I love it so much... I have finally moved from “what have I done” to “look what I’ve done” and I love that. For those who have stuck around through the lows I’ve shared on here - I love you and appreciate you. For anyone who is new here - welcome. As I lean into the mental health and motherhood pillars of my platform, I want to reflect on some old content I’ve put out on these topics. If you haven’t listened to @ffandfriendspod yet, here are some incredible episodes around this topic that you can dive into anywhere you listen to your shows: - 110 with my husband - 116 with @nelliediamond - 117 with @meganroup - 127 solo ep “parenting in a pandemic” - 131 solo ep “I love my kind but sometimes I don’t want to mom” - 136 with @emilydidonato - 147 solo ep “overstimulation and anxiety induced anger”
