This week Bianca and Meg are talking about one of the most harmful, almost comical lies we tell new parents: the idea that they will be able to "bounce" or "snap" back into their pre-pregnancy life. This devastating myth has us focusing on all the wrong things: shrink your body, hide any signs of discomfort, ignore your mental health, prioritize your child while also taking care of everyone else and yourself, and do it all alone. This unattainable, cruel picture is the reason why so many new parents are suffering from Postpartum Mood Disorders (PMADs). Bianca and Meg take a deep dive at the complicated realities of postpartum and help us re-prioritize the things that bring us joy.
