As we head in to Mother's Day weekend, I'd like to make a plea to all mothers out there: Be kind to your body. It's pretty darn amazing that it created new life. You literally grew another human being inside of you.
I know so many moms who feel shame about the size/shape of their bodies. Sure, your body might look different after giving birth, and that makes sense. Your body went through a lot during that process. Give it some compassion; give yourself some grace.
So as you celebrate Mother's Day this weekend, take a moment to celebrate your body too. You wouldn't be a mom without it!
