The strength of women is immeasurable. No, this is not a flashback of my pregnancy but photos from the first weeks AFTER giving birth. I was covered in hyperpigmentation across my back and stomach and still looked heavily pregnant. I felt like my guts would spill out because my abs were so stretched and loose and the texture of my skin looked like cottage cheese. This is how I looked WITH compression leggings on (shoutout to @bellybandit because these were all I wore). Last night I uploaded my traumatic labor recovery story which is one of the hardest and most honest videos I've ever filmed, but something I felt I needed to share for anyone else who had a difficult recovery like I did and felt ashamed and alone for it. I advocated for my pain and it saved me. New moms, you are not alone, you are strong even as you feel weak and used, and your body is incredible and beautiful at EVERY stage. Things will get better physically and mentally in time but ask for help when you need it. We are in this together!

So honored to contribute to the @leapfoundation which teaches students the skills they need to prepare for the real world. Wish I had this kind of guidance and encouragement when I was a fresh graduate!
For anyone chasing your dreams: don#039;t be afraid to hit the ground running because even if you trip and fall, you will still be ahead of everyone else who hesitated 🏻‍♀
