Hi everyone!

Thank you so much for being here and listening to our podcast. Today, Ilyana is solo to talk to you about all the good, bad, and ugly things mamas have been told throughout pregnancy and motherhood. Let me tell you, some of the bad and ugly comments that I received were just mind boggling. I felt so much pain for the mamas who had to endure those comments and live through the idea that people thought these negative things about them. Well, I am so sorry if you can relate to some of these comments, and I am here to remind you that, no it does not define you, and you are so much better than any negative comments people say about you. 

All we are doing as mamas is our best. We are doing our best to survive, to keep another human being alive, to be a good person, and to go through life without losing ourselves. As sad as the first part of this episode is, the other half are the good comments. The good ones that make us feel better about ourselves and how we approach our parenting. All we need are words of encouragement and a little bit of love. 

So, if no one has said this to you lately, let me say it to you. You are amazing. You are doing great. And you are the best thing your baby needs. 

Love, 

Ilyana
