And I'm sure those moms are like, yeah, I'm sure they're exhausted.

But I'm sure if she were to come back and talk to them, like,

Do you think you made a mistake?

It would be absolutely not.

I know.

And so maybe those conversations could be a little bit more redeeming.

I am not dropping them off at school.

it's just like i don't know like it's just such a short time that we're inconvenienced and the grades come over alive yeah and also gosh i can't i can't say this and not think about someone that's like struggling with infertility or like going through a loss too so like not to say like this is like the end all be all or like your life can't start until that next thing happens so no there's so many people listening to this and i just had to think about that too like

Like there's so much joy in where you're at now and it can feel like everything has to be on pause until that next thing happens or this thing or this stage enters or like maybe motherhood feels like this club that you're just not ever going to be a part of or like it's just really hard.

And so all I have to say, I'm like, I'm thinking about you too.

Like it's a great,

yeah that must be hard totally and so yeah not like it's like the ultimate end all be all like everyone's life looks different everyone's timeline looks different and a lot of that is out of your control too and so try not to beat yourself up and try to find contentment I know that's such a general thing to say right now but

there's a purpose for the season that you're in as much as you it doesn't look like what you want it to be like there's a purpose for it and lean on your friends yeah thanks for saying that i think that's good to say that marriage and kids are amazing yes and if you're if you're in that season of waiting for those things and those are things that you want and they don't feel accessible right now like i hurt for you yeah yeah like that's hard totally

i love looking forward to things that's how i always like even as a kid i like looked back and i was like when something was ending my mom was like well this is coming and like i feel like that's how i always like kept propelling myself forward so that's kind of life yeah we love women we're pro women we're pro children we're pro marriage marriage ask ask ask abby's

Wait, this is fun.

This is our first time having a listener do it.

than weight on the scale i don't know yeah find a way to move your body that you just actually really like yes and that can be a lot of trial and error i think the great place to start would be group fitness because it you have that built-in accountability and you don't have to think you literally just show up and they tell you what to do and you leave and like almost every time you get a good well-rounded workout because someone that's really well trained in all this is like writing it for you and um more than anything like if you find a community that's like

that's the best way to stay accountable, in my opinion, and something that you like.

Now, something I want to say is that like you can't hate the way you look or hate your body into changing.

I think you have to love it into that.
