Getting Real About Postpartum Life

One of Avocate’s values is transparency- keeping it real on topics that not everyone always wants to talk about. There are those conversations that are uncomfortable, and yet, they are the very conversations that bring us together and serve as a reminder that we’re all in this together- the good, the bad, and the postpartum.

Amanda Reiss has written for Legal Lady Boss before so you’ve probably already read about her double-life as a writer for Betches. You can check out her piece featured in LLB here. In her latest post for Betches, Amanda peels back the layers on what postpartum life has actually been like for her. She touches on mental health, bonding with your baby, and mom brain. If you’re a newer mom, you’ll likely find yourself nodding your head as you read along. And even if bébés aren’t on the horizon for you, her article serves as a reminder that in using our voices we break down the walls of isolation and truly embody the ethos of women supporting other women. Thank you for your vulnerability, Amanda.
