Pregnancy and childbirth has changed my body.. but not my mindset. I refuse to believe that motherhood means being stuck in a body I’m not happy in. Yes, it’s hard, yes, it takes time, but I’m reclaiming my confidence one workout, one moment of self-care at a time. Because feeling good in your own skin isn’t vanity — it’s self-respect.
Bullying is something no parent wants their child to face, yet so many do. We may not always be able to control how others act, but we can teach our kids to be confident in who they are. Confidence is one of the strongest shields against bullying, helping kids stand tall, use their voices, and know their worth no matter what.
I was bullied growing up. It hurt. But what hurts more is knowing that schools still don’t always protect kids like they should. As a mom, I want my children to be confident.. and I want their schools to step up too.
I’ll never understand the hate some people carry. It’s wild how quick others are to judge, label, or tear someone down without knowing anything about them. I’ve felt it firsthand.. people deciding who I was based on how I looked, how quiet I was, or just because I didn’t fit their mold.
This season of my life is all about growth, healing, and stepping into the version of myself I’ve always dreamed of being. I’m not waiting for the perfect time.. I’m choosing to show up for myself right now, in small but powerful ways. Becoming her isn’t about changing who I am, it’s about reconnecting with the version of me that’s always been there. This is my glow-up season inside and out.
