I Walked The Runway As A Plus Size Model…
I walked the runway as a plus size model! I still feel like squealing when I say that. I still can’t stop looking at pictures from that night, just a few short weeks ago! And I’ll never forget how sassy, sexy, empowered & confident I felt in my body… My plus size fat body. Taking up space. To go from, not even a year ago, when I HATED my body and was still stuck in the yo/yo ball of dieting, feeling uncomfortable in my own skin, etc. to strutting down the runway… Well, I think that’s pretty damn powerful, brave, bold and truly embracing my shining self and living my…
Have You Seen This Nike Ad Yet?
Where have these Honeybeez plus size dancers been all my life??? Do you ever come across something that just makes you feel all the feels? Something that gives you goose bumps? Something that brings tears to your eyes because it hits so close to home? That’s exactly what just happened when I saw this video. Check it out for yourself and I’ll explain more below: Good grief that just sends me into so many emotions (I’ve cried the last three times I’ve watched it!)! It’s only been since October, maybe November, 2018 that I stepped into this new role with myself – really LOVING myself. Really ACCEPTING myself – size…

Saying Goodbye To Someone You Love
It’s never a good time. No matter how much we prepare ourselves, it still isn’t a good time… For the death of a loved one. For one week I struggled through emotions of knowing my grandpa was sick. What they thought was a bleeding ulcer quickly turned into what they found to be stage four stomach cancer. For a week, blood transfusions kept him alive…until he finally said “no more, I’m done.” Even at 96 and during that last week, my grandpa was still a stubborn old man (somehow that brings me comfort – knowing that even at the end of his life, he was still that stubborn old man I…
Love Your Body Love Yourself
It’s taken me a long time to finally accept and love me, the whole me. To finally be ok in my own skin. To finally look in the mirror and love my body – jiggly thighs, saggy arms, big belly full of stretch marks and a c-section scar. It’s taken a really long time…but I promise you when you get to this point, it is so worth it! Speaking of loving myself and my body, Valentine’s Day is quickly approaching. I used to be so against this day. I despised it. I hated all those happy couples around me being all gushy lovey dovey. Because I used to think I…
What’s The Worst That Can Happen?
I’ve been going through some amazing things since my move out here to the West Coast. Well, I started going through some amazing change (aka inner work/self-growth) back in Michigan over the last several years, but the last few months I’ve really stepped up my game or something because whoah, I’m on FIRE… 😉 No, but seriously the last several months have been AMAZING! Not long ago, I shared about how I started questioning old stories, especially about fear, and since then it’s like I have a new lease on life. Because suddenly I’m not holding myself back by those old stories! I’m trying so many new things and stepping…
