Summary

This week on Always Here, we’re sharing the worst dates we’ve ever been on (yes… they’re painful) and having an honest conversation about postpartum body changes and confidence. We talk about comparison, learning to recognize yourself again, and what it looks like to find your footing in a season that can feel unfamiliar and vulnerable. If you’ve ever struggled with your body after baby — you’re not alone. And because Valentine’s Day might’ve snuck up on you 👀 we’re also sharing thoughtful, last-minute date and gift ideas that don’t require a full Pinterest spiral.
