Of course I felt the pressure and I hate the term bounce back.

I mean, I use it still because it's like, you know, we talk about bouncing back, but there's too much pressure around that term.

It takes...

Almost 10 months for your body to build human life and create this baby.

And your body is going through so many changes over the course of that time.

For us to think that we can, quote unquote, bounce back after a couple months is so unrealistic because it's going to take time to...

recover and heal our bodies in a healthy way, just like it took for our bodies to create this human life.

We've got to stop looking at as bouncing back in a quick amount of time.

Everybody's time is going to look different.

Yeah.

I definitely felt that both pregnancies.

I wasn't on social media yet, but I was on social media looking at other people and definitely found myself comparing.

Um, I think genetics go into play, like, you know, people dealing with, um,

having gained more weight, it just takes more time to lose.

We're all in different paths.

And so that's something that I talk to my community a lot about, whether it's in my DMs or in my app or my podcast.

I try to let women know that it's okay to take time and go at your own pace.

Your body's smart.

Your body's going to come back.

It just might take a little bit of time.
