I am going to talk about body shape, weight & self worth which maybe a difficult topic for some. It felt important to give a heads up so this post can be avoided if this is a sensitive issue.
Obviously I have a larger body type. Meat on my bones so to speak. The inherent attitude I come up against is that people assume I must be 'trying to lose weight' or really unhappy with how I look.
I'm not & I don't.
I love my body, it's softness & curves, the thickness in legs & my breasts are so full & all kinds of lovely. Even if I have a shitty day where I'm feeling less than wonderful I don't dwell on it, I try to accept it & move past it.
I see so many women hating their bodies & trying to shrink themselves & I won't be that person anymore. I used to hate how I looked, I used to say the most awful things in my head about my appearance & it led to some terrible, dark times.
The body positive movement seemed like it had great ideas but ones that I couldn't fully believe for myself. But I still tried to absorb a different way of thinking, I tried being grateful, loving & kind to myself, I followed incredible women like unskinnyhero & bodiposipanda on IG & slowly change occurred.
Feeling like a total babe did not happen overnight, it was a process, frequently a fight but I stand before you as a nude, erotic model & performer who is doing her best to kick ass.
I'm living my best life, doing shoots for a bunch of different sites, self producing my own content & generally feeling like a sexy goddess.
It's awesome.
I've done nude work in one form or another off & on for 14 years now. I really feel like in the last 12 months especially I've come into my power. Why? Because I invest in caring & loving myself & I know that I fiercely deserve the love & care that I consistently perform for myself.
Loving, accepting & celebrating myself has been a radical act of change for me but I can't recall a time I've felt happier.
Thanks for coming to my TedTalk & have a majestic Monday!
