Mom Shows Off Postpartum Body In Powerful Business Headshots

Pederson explained that, "I wish I had seen bodies like mine when I was a young mother. So I'm sharing it now!" She referred to the vulnerability of having a changed body that doesn't meet traditional beauty standards. Many moms feel intimidated when it comes to showing off their stomachs, even though they're natural and helped create life.

As a Minnesota resident and seven-figure businesswoman, Pederson has made a name for herself. Especially, for her advice on how moms can maintain the balance in their lives when it comes to parenting and work-life. She goes from working 50 hours a week to giving her kids her undivided attention and love. We guess super moms do indeed exist.

Her TikTok channel explains how she went from being on welfare and struggling, to being a millionaire. Her content marketing skills have gotten her pretty far, and she wants others to get ahead, too.

While Pederson's message of accepting postpartum bodies is understood and supported by many of her commenters, they're also a bit confused about this photoshoot. No matter what kind of stomach someone has, it's hard for many to buy that it'd ever be appropriate to show in a workplace — any workplace. It seems like a weird way to explain being a professional and mom at the same time.

Some people are still unclear what the assignment was for this photoshoot, and others are rolling with it through and through. Pederson is getting some serious love for her photos and overall mission of normalizing postpartum bodies. With over 150K likes and many positive comments that applaud her, Pederson is definitely getting her message across.

Pederson captioned the video with a special note for her photographer, saying, "Absolutely obsessed. You're a dream to work with." By the sound of it, the experience was an overall success for this hard working mom and the photographer that captured the realness and authenticity that she was hoping to reflect. We must say, it looks like a picture-perfect moment.

When it comes to her TikTok videos that center on motherhood, professionalism and motivation, the people are buying what Pederson's selling. This self-proclaimed, "Queen of Social Media" built a TikTok empire, and she's got lots of followers.

While many images are airbrushed, edited and made to fit into societal beauty standards, people (especially, women) are made to feel as if their natural bodies aren't good enough. Whether people think Pederson's professional stomach photo makes sense or not, we can only hope that her message of visibility and representation for postpartum bodies comes across.

It should be pretty obvious by now — all bodies are worthy. The feelings of shame, erasure and rejection that come from body shaming need to make a hasty exit immediately. Pederson's TikTok video has inspired others to embrace themselves in all of their beautiful imperfections and authenticity. That's pretty powerful.
