Postpartum has been rough. I figured we should talk about it, because regardless of whether you’re in a postpartum season or even a mom at all, we all struggle. We all have moments of insecurity and wondering how we measure up. Unfortunately, comparison isn’t doing us many favors. In this episode, we’re talking about comparison, the pressure we feel to do or be more, how to recognize lies and embrace the truth, and rediscovering motivation in the simple things. We miss out on the goodness right here in the middle when we focus on all the things we’re not, what we don’t have, or where we wish we were instead. I hope you feel encouraged to embrace your season and trust that you are exactly where you’re supposed to be!
