Maren Morris on resenting the ‘unhealthy’ idea of new moms having to ‘bounce back’: ‘It shouldn't be the goal’

The "Bones" singer and ACM Awards winner, Maren Morris, is continuing to issue stout words of wisdom and encouragement to women everywhere to never give in to the societal pressures to be anything other than your true and authentic self.

"I think just my appreciation and sort of innate fascination with women has made me feel like a stronger one in a very hard year of having a child during a pandemic – it being my first child – having a C-section, like all these things kind of went crazy awry," Morris, 30, said during a virtual press conference backstage in Nashville, Tenn., of her willingness to be open about her image struggles. "I have looked to so many women in my life that are mothers and also that aren't mothers that are just bada-- chicks that have given me so much respite in a year where so much didn't go as planned," she continued. "But no, I definitely couldn't have gotten through all of this or found my confidence through new motherhood without women in my life."
