And it took nine months to grow a child. I think that bounce-back culture is putting unrealistic pressure on women. And I would really love to see women not put these unrealistic expectations on their bodies.” – Becca Donatell    TAKE THE PERSONALITY PATTERN QUIZ - Personality Quiz SHOW NOTES: The Truth About Pre & Postnatal Movement & Exercise with Fitness 1-ON-1 COACHING: Coaching with Michelle MORNING ROUTINE FOR MOMS: My 5-Step Morning Routine COMMUNITY: The Motherhood Village LET’S HANG ON THE ‘GRAM: @michellegrosser.coach   “I love The Calm Mom Podcast!” ← if that sounds like you, please consider rating and reviewing our show!  This helps us support more women, just like you, on their motherhood journey.  Click here, scroll to the bottom, tap to rate with five stars, and select “Write a Review.”  Then be sure to let me know what you loved most about the episode!
