She often shared intimate photos detailing not only her happiest moments, but the minutes that exist between the fold. The ones no one really talks about out loud.

Now that Holliday’s youngest is over a year old, we sat down with the working mama to talk about the best and worst parts of her pregnancy — and all the things that other plus-size moms can learn from her experience.
