So, it's been over 24 months since you gave birth, and you're still trapped in diaper duty and mashed carrot purgatory.

You've spent the last couple of years speaking fluent Baby and finding pure joy in Peppa Pig marathons. But now, every Grey's Anatomy episode is done, you’re sick of small talk with the pediatrician, and even your cat keeps eyeing you like, "Girl, you seriously need to find some human friends." Time to resuscitate your dusty social life and reclaim your grown-up buzzwords.

Step Two: The Recon Mission—Finders Keepers, Yes?

The secret? Embrace it: Picture everyone in their awkward 7th-grade photo. Soon you'll be laughing like YM's throwback advice column got it right all along.
Stage Clear: Initiate Your Victory Lap
The world is back in your hands, newly-minted superhero cape and all. Whether at a kids’ festival or a friends’ night out, bask in your thriving social ecosystem. A little effort goes a long way, and whether you’re still pregnant (check maternity leggings) or post-baby glow-up, there’s a world that’s been waiting for your comeback tour. The best part? You now juggle conversations better than you ever juggled baby bath time.
Glam Sign-Off: Pull the Curtain on Domestic Bliss
