Do you ever look in the mirror and miss the "old you"?

Do you find it hard to love your body since having children?

Do you feel pressure to “bounce back” to your pre-baby self?

Then this episode is for you.

Today we’re diving deep into body image after motherhood, the toxic pressure to “bounce back,” and what it really means to feel beautiful again—with stretch marks, soft bellies, tired eyes, and all.

Let’s be clear: There is no going back. There is only moving forward—and you’re allowed to feel radiant, sexy, and worthy in your new body.

I’ll share the mindset shift that helped me redefine beauty in my postpartum life, what I do (and don’t do) to feel good in my skin, and why reclaiming your self-worth isn’t vanity—it’s power.

✨ We’ll talk about what real self-care can look like.

✨ Why your beauty is not tied to your skincare routine or dress size.

✨ And how booking a photo session with someone who truly sees you—like Leigh Watson @doulaheartphotography—can transform your perspective.

You’ll also hear how to access a special listener-only offer Leigh created for you.

Because we deserve to feel beautiful. Especially now.
