Bethany C. Meyers Instagram – The side-by-side isn’t looking quite like I thought it would this month 🫠 I’m not going to pretend like this broken ankle hasn’t been a challenge, it has. But day by day I’m watching my body begin to heal, and day by day I’m reminding myself that there’s no shortcut back to strength and no straight line through recovery, but there is grace in the detour ✨
Voiceover text:
I started filming these side by side videos when I was 3 months postpartum.
Not as a way to compare myself to the past, but rather as a way to acknowledge and recognize the changes a body goes through once it’s had a baby.
This would have been my 6 month postpartum video and instead of exploring movement, I’m doing quite the opposite.
A broken ankle that ironically happened when I was working out, has forced me to rest, forced me slow.
But healing doesn’t always look like progress. Sometimes it looks like stillness, like surrender.
So if you’re here too—in the pause, in the quiet, in the not yet—know that it’s okay. You’re not behind. You’re just becoming.
