This Is The Inspiring Message Serena Williams Has For Struggling Mothers

Ever since the birth of her daughter, Alexis Olympia, Tennis star, Serena Williams has been quite an inspiration to mothers.

You recall that in an interview with Harper Baazar magazine, she opened up about her pregnancy, having more kids, and suffering from postpartum depression.

Serena Williams Opens Up On Her Experience With Post Partum Depression 

Ever since she has also been sharing motivational posts on her social media platforms.

Yesterday Serena took to her Instagram page to talk about her recent experiences and also encourage mothers in her situation.

She wrote;

Last week was not easy for me. Not only was I accepting some tough personal stuff, but I just was in a funk. Mostly, I felt like I was not a good mom.

I read several articles that said postpartum emotions can last up to 3 years if not dealt with. I like communication best. Talking things through with my mom, my sisters, my friends let me know that my feelings are totally normal.

It’s totally normal to feel like I’m not doing enough for my baby.

We have all been there. I work a lot, I train, and I’m trying to be the best athlete I can be.

However, that means although I have been with her every day of her life, I’m not around as much as I would like to be. Most of you moms deal with the same thing. Whether stay-at-home or working, finding that balance with kids is a true art. You are the true heroes.

I’m here to say: if you are having a rough day or week–it’s ok–I am, too!!! There’s always tomm!
