“You sure seem to love yourself 🙄”⁣ ⁣ A dude passive aggressively left that comment on a post of mine the other day. ⁣ ⁣ I knew it was meant to make me feel shame, and insecurity, and small. ⁣ ⁣ But it didn’t. ⁣ ⁣ After decades of starving myself, then poisoning myself with alcohol and drugs to numb the pain of not enoughness, I am finally free. ⁣ ⁣ I can’t tell you when or how it happened, maybe it’s just been a combination of time and frustration, but there seems to come a time in a woman’s life where you look at yourself in the mirror and realize that you will never fit the mould that the world told you you should strive to be...and that was NEVER your purpose. ⁣ ⁣ I call it an EFF-IT-phany, and that life changing moment, when women realize that self love is the only way to live fully, that she is whole without the approval of anybody else, deserves a freakin cake and confetti because it should be celebrated and honoured. ⁣ ⁣ I answered this man with “Yes, I love myself, it’s taken me a while to get to this place, and now that I’m here, there’s not a chance that I’ll apologize for it. I hope you feel the same about yourself.” ⁣ ⁣ If you believe in self love in a world where it is considered a rebellion, give me a 🙌 below!⁣ ⁣ ⁣📸 @jeremytlock on set of @amazonprimevideo’s #thesocialmovement ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣
👑 33 years old ⁣ 👑 No kids ⁣ 👑 Just getting started in my career ⁣ 👑 Been “working on my summer body” since 2011⁣ ⁣ But still a bad b when it comes down to it though 🦸‍♀️ #bossbabe #girlboss
Do you believe in miracles? ⁣ ⁣ Months after my dad has passed, last night I got a message from one of my sisters. ⁣ ⁣ My dad had accidentally recorded 16 hours of audio on his iPad. ⁣ ⁣ What did he record? My last great night with him, on New Years Eve, just days before he was hospitalized and died. ⁣ ⁣ It was the last time I saw him as just dad, not a patient or dying man, and a memory that I regard as absolutely sacred. ⁣ ⁣ We often teased my dad for not being tech savvy, and I can’t help but feel like this sign from him has his sense of humour written ALL over it! 😂 ⁣ Have you gotten signs from loved ones that have passed away? ⁣🙏 ⁣
I’ve learned as a solopreneur that their is the Zoom call me that looks like I’m winning at adulting, and the offline me. ⁣ ⁣ Don’t compare yourself to what you see on camera. ⁣ ⁣ Nobody’s showing you the chaos happening outside of the frame, which for me, includes pups fighting or humping one of my fancy pillows, baggy sweats, and coffee spilled on my keyboard 😂 ⁣ ⁣ What’s REALLY going on behind-the-scenes for you when you’re on a video business call? ⁣
I have a happy personality with a heavy soul.⁣ ⁣ Sometimes, it gets weird 🤪 ⁣ Give me a 🙌 if you feel me!
Maybe I’m destined to become a mama after all.⁣ ⁣ The strangest thing happened while I was in San Francisco. ⁣ ⁣ After I presented my #linkedin training to a group at my hotel, I decided to take the trolley to #fishermanswharf and explore the pier.⁣ ⁣ Call it the perfect San Francisco breezy weather, or the laid back vibe of the bay, but I felt more relaxed than I have in ages. ⁣ ⁣ In the middle of #Pier39, I stumbled upon a twinkling carousel. Chubby little hands held on tight to the glittery unicorns, grinning from ear to ear while their mom or dad stood excitedly beside them, holding them up and waving to the crowd. ⁣ ⁣ For the first time, I imagined myself up on that carousel. I imagined the joy of the parents that were creating this magical memory on the boardwalk. ⁣ ⁣ I smiled just dreaming of what that might feel like, letting go of all the fear I’ve had that I might never conceive. ⁣ ⁣ I hoped for the first time. ⁣ ⁣ What happened next was nothing short of a miracle. As I was walking into the elevator of my hotel, I noticed a missed phone call...from the fertility centre in Ottawa that my doctor told me would take months, maybe up to a year, to get into. ⁣ ⁣ As I was about to call back the office, I saw the email. ⁣ ⁣ “We have had a cancellation on August 9. Let us know ASAP if you want it.” ⁣ ⁣ I wrote back immediately, acknowledging the dream that I had imagined on that pier just hours prior...⁣ ⁣ “YES! I want this.” ⁣ ⁣ Thank you to everybody that has encouraged me and lifted me up during this crazy journey towards (maybe one day) motherhood. ⁣ ⁣ I hope you’ll stick around to see what happens next!
Money can’t buy happiness...⁣ ⁣ ...but it can buy a ticket to the @museumoficecream 🍦, where you can swim in a pool of sprinkles 🍩 and that’s basically the same thing. ⁣ Have a sweet Monday!
*anytime my husband accuses me of being dramatic* ⁣ ⁣ Me: I WILL DO WHAT QUEENS DO, I WILL RULE. #gameofthrones #unionsquaresf #bossbabe #goaldigger
