No one else

No one else can tell you how to feel about your body. It’s yours. It is a gift…and when you let others have a place to speak over it, its a roller coaster ride.

We feel really good when we are affirmed. It’s human nature. But you can choose to do that for yourself daily. Your relationship with your body can be sweet in every season. I personally have had two babies and had to choose early on in my first pregnancy that what was changing with my body was an absolute miracle and a beautiful thing. It wasn’t about “getting bigger” it was growing life. If you are reading this, and you are a woman, your body is going to shift and change some throughout life. It’s just what happens. If you can commit now to getting really good at speaking life over your body, your health will reflect that, and so will your relationship with your body.

Don’t ever let someone else tell you how to feel about certain parts of your physical body. The reality is, in the industry, you are going to hear how certain physical things about you are impacting your work. The best thing to do in these challenging moments is to remember… No one else can tell me. I am a miracle. I am a work of art. My confidence and my relationship with my body will not be moved by the words of other people. I commit to a growing and healthy relationship with my body, and I bring my very best from that place.
