Host Lina Forrestal explores society's obsession with postpartum bodies, particularly, Hilary Duff's nude Women's Health magazine cover (Read Hilary Duff's interview here.). Lina believes that it perpetuates unrealistic body standards for women, especially when celebrities don't disclose that they'd had plastic surgery done or don't acknowledge photoshop. For example, Hilary Duff is shown with no stretch marks, cellulite, or skin texture and yet the theme of the photoshoot is loving her postpartum body. Lina also talks about things she's been loving lately such as the book series, A Court of Thorns and Roses (#ACOTAR) and practicing self-care in the form of getting workout clothes that actually fit (thank you, Athleta) and getting eyelash extensions. Lina gives an update to her medication journey and how she's been able to find relief and finally not struggle with anxiety and intrusive thoughts.  Referenced in this episode:Hilary Duff's Women's Health magazine article + cover Christine Quinn Fake Pregnancy RumorsA Court of Thorns and RosesAthletaTalkspaceConnect with Lina on Instagram: @linaforrestalRead Lina's blog: Lina ForrestalSupport the showConnect with Lina on @linaforrestal on InstagramFollow the @newmamaspodcast on InstagramRead Lina's Blog: www.linaforrestal.comSupport the Show: Buy Me a Coffee (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/newmamaspodcast)
