No one tells you that your body might still look pregnant weeks or even months after giving birth. Or that the pressure to "bounce back" can feel louder than your own intuition. In this candid conversation, Maitri sits down with a postpartum fitness expert to unpack the shame, myths and silent grief many women feel in their bodies after motherhood.

I’m talking to Postpartum Core Specialist Darshika Gupta and we will not talk about six-packs and step goals but about the shame, the silence and the straight-up lies we’re fed about our bodies after motherhood.

This one’s for every woman who’s ever looked in the mirror and thought, ‘Why do I feel like a stranger in my own skin?’

Let’s unpack the pressure, untangle the guilt, and start rewriting the story- from punishment to power.

Remember that you don’t need to shrink to feel strong. A must-listen for new moms, tired moms and anyone questioning the “bounce back” narrative.
