This week we are sharing Shelley Suh of Loyal Hana’s story. Shelley Suh founded Loyal Hana, a maternity & nursing wear clothing line, after having worked in the fashion industry for over 20 years. More than just a collection of maternity and nursing garments, Loyal Hana is a reliable friend during a crucial time when the pressure is on to provide it all, a helping hand when circumstances make it difficult to be discreet, a universal “thank you” and a way for new moms to feel confident and beautiful every day. Shelley strives to preserve her priorities to stay present and mindful while raising two children in the Hamptons.
Listen as Shelley shares how she:
- Stays present while she juggles her kids and her business.
- Reminds herself to have gratitude for now.
- Is raising her children while caretaking her parents.
- Lost control over both her physical & mental self during her postpartum periods.
- Used creativity to regain her sense of self in a period where she felt lost.
- Struggled with postpartum depression after the birth of her son.
- Can step away from her kids, which makes her a better mom.
- Declares what she wants in her life.
