Jessica Sanchez opened up about her postpartum experience, stating it is a “feeling no one really prepares you for.”

In a social media post on Tuesday, February 3, the America’s Got Talent (AGT) Season 20 winner expressed how motherhood affected her emotionally.

“It’s love so deep it hurts, joy mixed with exhaustion, gratitude tangled with tears,” she wrote.

“Your body feels unfamiliar, your heart feels fuller than ever, and every emotion shows up uninvited,” she continued. “Healing isn’t linear. Becoming a mother changes you forever softly, loudly, beautifully, painfully.”

The singer also advised fellow mothers, stating that one should give themselves grace if they are in the same season.
