Deep in the lessons of learning to honour my body (and mind's) boundaries and requests to rest and I love how you were able to frame this as a way to show your daughter a 'softer' way of being that so many of us have been denied, especially as Black women. Being strong isn't always about carrying the weight, sometimes it's about knowing when to set it down.xx
This story is beautiful. I really like how instead of pushing yourself to go father up the volcano, you instead listened to your body and rested. It is so nice to see someone promoting listening to what your body is telling you, instead of "Do more, go Faster" mentality. Thank you for writing this. We all need this reminder. :)
This whole reflection means a LOT to a currently pumping while on meetings while baby is at his first week of daycare while he is waking up every hour at night during said first week of daycare. Time to rest / pause on unnecessary things. Thank you, friend <3
I love everything about this weeks newsletter, L’Oreal. It’s so beautiful to trust yourself and your body enough to really listen to it and respect it rather than cave to societal pressure to perform. What a beautiful gift for Violet also. Xoxo.

Brava for listening to yourself! And kudos to the IRL mom pic. Mom-bods did and DO a lot! You inspire me to do the same on a regular basis. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
