The summer I stopped waiting to show up until I felt confident,
And instead, built confidence by showing up 🤭
I wore a sports bra by itself in public for the first time this past May, and I decided to commit. To keep going.
I’ve already spent 36 summers trying to hide my midsection, embarrassed over the fact that my stomach rolls when I sit down.
How silly to be embarrassed over something so normal, something so natural, something the majority of us experience!!
I’ll admit, the first time, I kept tugging my leggings up even higher than the regular high rise was intended. But with each experience, I got a little bit better at it. By the end of the summer, I took my first photo standing in a bikini since 2019.
Confidence isn’t built by hiding, but by being. The more you allow yourself to be you, the more confident in you you become ❤️
