Healing After C-Section and Understanding the C-Section Shelf with Janette Yee

Today, I am talking all about your imperfections as a parent and partner. Plus, I’m even sharing what I’m not that great at either... We will take these imperfections and shift them into strengths and finding gratitude. Motherhood is filled with wolves waiting to pounce on the next weakest link. There’s always a mom out there doing it better than you or looking more fabulous. That’s tough to come to grips with so I’m sharing my thoughts on the vultures in society that prey on other people’s imperfections and beat down our self-love muscle. Living in a constantly aroused state of Fight or Flight is not healthy. Join me in this conversation on refreshing your mindset and taking the reigns of your own life. Happy Friday, yal!
