Radical act of self acceptance

Hey wonderful!,

I spent yesterday in a deep conversation with a Muse. We talked about the identity loss that swallows you whole in motherhood, and that heavy, ingrained conditioning that tells us our "post-kids" bodies are something to be tolerated rather than celebrated.

We talked about the gap between being desired and feeling desirable.(more on this very soon) Her husband finds her  more attractive than ever, but she’s struggling to see what he sees through the fog of body changes and "flaws."

Here’s my artistic observation: Those "flaws" aren't flaws at all boo! the are actually the special sauce. They are the map of your life, the evidence of your power, and the very things that make you a Muse rather than a mannequin.

We’ve been conditioned to look at ourselves with a critical, unforgiving eye. It’s ingrained. It’s exhausting. But if we can be conditioned to hate ourselves, we can choose to re-condition ourselves to love the crap out of ourselves—or at the very least, to reach a state of radical self-acceptance.

For the next 5 weeks Im going to share 1 gentle practice suggestion towards radical self acceptance , starting now (read the text on the image) I will share the rest on my stories on @gloriouslyuntamed.

A Muse session is an act of self-care for the woman you are right now. Not the version of you from ten years ago, but the woman who has lived, birthed, survived, and grown. This is where we start the re-conditioning. We use the portrait as a mirror to show you the truth that everyone else already sees.

You aren't just a role, under the titles, the relationships , the responsibilities. theres is you. You are delicious, exactly as you are.
