It was a note to “new mommies” that read, “Your body is beautiful at all stages.
“During pregnancy as we are glowing and growing, postpartum as we are healing and shrinking, and then that period I find the hardest as our bodies are still adjusting.
“And if you’re breastfeeding, that’s a whole other part of it. I try to be kind to myself as my body finds a new normal.”
She continued, “The pressure put on us to bounce back when everything is new and different isn’t realistic.
“Life is beautiful, you are beautiful. Just a little reminder (for me too).”
Her original post seemed to be a joke based on her caption, “My diamond earring came off in the ocean and it’s gone.”
This was a call-back to an early episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians when Kourtney’s sister Kim Kardashian lost an earring in the ocean.
The reality television moment became a viral meme that’s still being brought up years later.
The Lemme founder included two photos in the social media post where she was swimming in crystal clear water.

She was wearing a tiny black string bikini that barely covered her breasts.
The pictures appeared to be unedited, and Kourtney wasn’t wearing any makeup in the pictures – but she was wearing a huge smile.

A Kardashian Reddit board reposted her Instagram Story, and fans were happy to see a confident Kourtney.
One said, “What a comparison from when she was with Scott. Y’all remember that?

“When he was on that ass to lose weight after she had the first child?”
Another commented, “I know people don’t like Travis, but let’s be honest she’s been on an upward swing since she left Scott and got away from that misogynistic loser.
“Regardless of him, he seems to make her happy & more confident (but also, she also deserves the credit bc as a woman it’s so hard!)”
A third fan wrote, “From our queen of self-confidence I would have honestly expected a photo of her showing her body after giving birth to her baby – that would have been such a strong message!
“But I also understand that a woman’s body after giving birth is something very private and intimate and that not all women feel comfortable showing.”
Other fans complimented her postpartum body and her willingness to be vulnerable online to support new moms.
