Kelsey, Patrick's Momma from Episode 2, is back to discuss a topic that is near and dear to both of us: Baby weight and body image after loss. This is a taboo subject where so many feel like, after the stillbirth of their baby, they aren't allowed to be uncomfortable in their skin, to see someone different in the mirror, to have more weight and no baby. But we're here to smash the stigma that it's superficial or unimportant. It's part of OUR journey so we hope it can help those that struggle with this.

We are still mothers. Mothers who struggle with this. Just like those with living babies. It's time we normalize it!

Kelsey is a former gymnast and has been hyper focused on her physique her entire life. Me as a pro dancer and fitness professional, has also focused and pretty much identified with my body looking a certain way for success.  We unpack all the things we have felt before, during and after pregnancy. It's uncomfortable, it's sad, there are regrets, and things we wish we could do over, but it's real and if it is reality for us, it probably is for you too.

Listen to us discuss it ALL.
