In this candid episode, we tackle the pervasive and often damaging "bounce back culture" that pressures new moms to rapidly return to their pre-pregnancy bodies. Tijani and Yazmin share personal anecdotes and the emotional toll such expectations can have. They dissect the double standards between new fathers and mothers, with society celebrating the 'dad bod' while scrutinizing mothers' postpartum bodies. From unwarranted advice to the lure of quick fixes, they discuss the struggle against unrealistic standards and the importance of prioritizing healing over appearance. The Musas provide thoughtful insights on embracing the postpartum journey, advocating for self-care, and rejecting the toxic narratives that overshadow the beauty of new parenthood. They offer heartfelt advice for both moms and dads on how to navigate this transformative phase with compassion, support, and understanding. Tune in for a supportive conversation that challenges societal norms and champions the wellbeing of new families.
