Now booking June + beyond! Come hang with me at my studio for a super empowering boudoir session!

*CW* Talks of disordered eating, body dysmorphia . I talk about my journey as it relates to my body and how it’s never ending, a lot. Sometimes that feels like an exciting commitment to get better and sometimes it just feels fucking tiring. Right now, it’s tiring and I hate it. I am really just struggling to be honest. My journey towards body acceptance has taken on many forms. First, it was just the concept that I didn’t have to hate my body or starve myself as punishment.... Then, it was learning to not fear gaining muscle and being strong through working out and eating food. Then, it was realizing that I still had body dysmorphia, even after a few years of working really hard and knowing I was strong. Now, 7 years into this work, I am just now realizing that for so long while I was healing from being anorexic, I was simultaneously becoming orthorexic. What I am struggling to accept now is that my body is heavier and bigger than it was 2-3 years ago. But that doesn’t make me less worthy, less healthy, and it certainly doesn’t make me less capable. It’s hard. It’s like, for so long I looked at my journey as just a linear path of healing from anorexia. But really, it’s so much more than that. Just when I feel like I am on the other side of it, there’s something new to unpack. . You don’t know these things when you’re dieting as a 13 year old for the first time. You don’t know that by restricting food to lose weight because you were told to, you are setting yourself up for an adult hood of having to unlearn all this shit. It’s heavy, for sure and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. . I always wonder what my life would be like if I was never told to go on a diet. I am sure I would have some sort of food / body image issues, but man, it’s so tempting to think I’d be more normal and my mind would be less consumed. . Anyways, I am here to remind you that I am in it, just like you. I am really good at helping others feel seen and loved and empowered, but need to work on showing up for myself, as well. You are not alone. I have belly rolls and can still deadlift 200lbs. Life goes on and I hope one day we can shift the convo to more important subject matter because we are more than our outward appearances. See more
