Today’s act of bravery came in the form of addressing a common occurrence in the social stratosphere: attention whore, cheap, trashy, “they only like you for your looks,” disgusting, [insert hate message]…these are just a few hateful things I’ve been told on social media.
I feel I can speak for most of us that share our lives & body journeys with y’all, we could give a f@$k less what the haters think. And we would also be lying if we said it didn’t sting a lil bit too.
I had a client tell me yesterday she was really proud of her body progress. She wanted to show it but felt shame when she thought about it because of what other people would think.
I felt for her — that pit in your stomach when you think about something you’re afraid you’ll be judged for. But then you also feel guilty that exact thing lights you up & you know you’re stifling yourself.
Listen, I’ve have had plenty of hater-aid thrown my way from people, criticizing me for being open about my body & details of my life.
Firstly, Karen, (Poor Karen she’s always getting picked on 😂), we know you’re projecting your own issues upon us & that it really has nothing to do with us or our actions.
We’re not just bodies, we’re not just faces, we’re not just what we look like. We live & love in leggins, scrubs, uniforms, business attire, & everything in between & are much more than our physical appearance.
Secondly, most of us don’t post pictures for attention or anyone’s approval. We work hard for what we have & are proud of what we’ve created & overcome.
Designers show off their creations, they don’t hide in shame. So why should it be any different for us?
Our goal is to motivate, support, encourage, & guide others to be the best versions of themselves.
You don’t need permission or to be pretty or look like anyone else.
Repeat after me & drop a ❤️👇🏻, “I don’t need to be pretty like her, I just need to be pretty like me.”
