Overcoming

Gwyneth Paltrow has this website called "GOOP". I don't read it that often, but one of her latest newsletters recently caught my attention. Bryce Dallas Howard, the actress (and daughter of Ron Howard), writes about her experience with post-partum depression. Read about it here.

Pretty heady stuff, right? Unbelievable that she can speak about it so plainly and honestly. Post-partum is one of those things that is taboo - no one admits to it and those that do are terrified of the stigma attached.

Having gone through it myself, I was pleased to see Bryce also address the subject of breastfeeding. It's so empowering to hear other mom's stories of overcoming struggle, self-doubt, and imperfection!! This is what the blogosphere is all about - sharing your heart with others and being REAL.
