This was amazing 🥰 I am so grateful for all those mama's who shared. When you were asking for submissions I felt "eh" and didn't really know what I would share. But after reading through those stories, I am fired up to share my own mom-body story. It's not only postpartum - it's before having a baby, being pregnant, after birth, during breastfeeding, after breastfeeding and after after breastfeeding. Our bodies are amazing. They are the vessel for our spirit and I fully feel the responsibility to be a good steward and tenderly love and care for my body. I don't do it all the time, but I feel the importance to be in right relationship with my body and work hard to honor her.
Thank you so much! I always love your insightful and thoughtful comments 🩵 I almost didn’t know what to write for this one myself in the intro — I write so much about the body and my mind went blank at first. I absolutely love your perspective about your own body and am starting to feel similarly again after a weird past few months 🫶🏻
This is amazing! I just went shopping today because I finally had to admit that my summer clothes no longer fit my postpartum body. At first, I felt defeated that I’m having to size up. But it was also exciting to have an opportunity to refresh my wardrobe in a way that really flatters my new body. This was a great reminder that our bodies are amazing and deserve to be celebrated.✨

So grateful that you took the time to compile these stories 💜
It's becoming one of my favorite writing exercises penning an intro to these beautiful stories, including yours. I love being a reader! ❤️
That was beautiful 🥹

I'm 10 months postpartum, and reading these meant so much to me, thank you!
