This is the first of several shorter summer episodes of me riffing on some Mommy Stories. In this episode, I share the story of my new book, 52 Ways to Love Yourself Postpartum, and how it came to be. This was just a quick idea that I had that a few people encourage me along and I learned the value of having great people around that lift you up and ultimately the whole community is lifted with you.
