The Stunning Transformation Of Catherine Reitman

Following her first pregnancy, Reitman was kicked out of her Mommy & Me group for expressing her dark thoughts after the birth of her son, Jackson (via Hollywood Life). Reitman wrote a beautiful essay for Glamour in early 2019 which details her postpartum depression and her desire to laugh through it all. "On that day I remember thinking that I was now broken," she wrote. "That having a child had changed my chemistry forever. Who was I now? While I understood the tasks that were required of me, I no longer had any sense of self." Her husband encouraged her to begin writing about her experiences and eventually, Workin' Moms was the result. 

"As the job took over and time passed, so did my PPD," she continued. "I'd occasionally find myself back in a dark patch, only to feel lighter the next day. There was no quick fix for me. Having an outlet, a place where I could express myself and counter my dark fantasies with epic wins of mothers smashing through glass ceilings, pulled me through the fog."

Reitman has certainly come a long way from her early days as the child of two parents who were in show business, and has now solidly carved out a chunk of it for herself.
