It's fun to look back on your growth.

It's fun to look back on your growth.

I remember a time when I would "prep" for photoshoots. I would feel like I wasn't worthy of shooting with certain photographers if I wasn't incredibly lean.

I would restrict my calories and food choices, I would cut my water, I would increase my cardio, and even then, I would walk into the shoot thinking:

"Did I go hard enough?"

"Am I lean enough?"

"Will the photographer think I'm too fat?"

"Should I cancel?"

"I'm not ready."

And the list goes on and on and on.

I was never happy with my physique. I was never lean enough. I was never tight enough. It was never enough.

And then, I went to therapy and worked on healing my relationship with myself, my body, food, and more.

I realized that health isn't a body fat percentage, worthiness isn't wrapped up in scale weight, confidence isn't found in weight loss, and happiness is not tied to a physical look.

When I became well, I realized how unwell I was and how there was more to life than looking a certain way. Life is so much better when you focus on what your body can do, its strength, its power, and nourishing it.

Now, I show up to a shoot with no other thought than - THIS IS GOING TO BE SO FUN! 🤩

I got so many DM's from women after the shoot I just did. Women celebrate my curves and thank me for showing a healthy, fit body that is attainable, realistic, and non-intimidating. 🫶🏻

At one time, I would have died to be in a bathing suit, let alone doing a photo shoot for all to see if I wasn't competition lean. Now, I couldn't imagine restricting myself to take some pictures. ✌🏻

My mission is to help other women come on the other side of this perfectionism approach to our bodies. I love teaching other women to embrace their natural shape and beauty. I love helping them heal their relationship with the scale and to get strong. ❤️
