Quotes to ponder:
"It's not okay for us to say, 'It's tough, and I think I made a huge mistake becoming a parent.'"
"Self-care should be your baseline: Get your full night's sleep, and exercise regularly."
"In rediscovering your sense of identity, you will be a better mother. A better employee. A happier, more well-rounded person."
