We're all Jane Doe, 'till none of us are. ♥️⁣
⁣
For the longest time, I never thought I'd be open about the things I have experienced. I desperately tried to push it down as a way to pretend that it never happened. Over time, I realized that silence only feeds the shame that was never mine to carry. ⁣
⁣
Getting the sexual assault survivor symbol tattooed was my way of reclaiming my narrative and extending a gentle hand to others. It’s a permanent reminder that if you ever look my way, you're looking at a safe space. You are not alone, you are believed, and you never have to walk through the healing process by yourself.⁣
⁣
Healing isn't a straight line, and speaking out loud takes time, grace, and immense courage. But every time one of us steps out of the shadows, we stand in solidarity—for all the Jane Does out there, for all those who came before us and after us. We stand together. ✨⁣

Chapter One: The Dream.♥️📖⁣
⁣
If you told me years ago that I’d be standing in a bookstore, while actively writing my own story, I don’t know if I would have believed you.⁣
⁣
Writing was my first real passion, I fell in love with the idea of creating my own stories, finding my voice in the quiet, and building something meaningful to connect with others. When life would get heavy, I always found solace in my writing.⁣
⁣
Truly, I never felt like my writing was good enough. For years, self-doubt kept that childhood dream locked away in a drawer. I let the fear of not being "enough" overshadow the joy of creating. I buried that dream, even after a college professor handed back an assignment and noted that whoever in our group wrote the story should be an author. ⁣
⁣
It took doing deep work on my own mental health—learning to value my voice and let go of perfectionism—to finally step back into that truth. I reminded myself that I have stories in my heart that are uniquely mine, perspectives and experiences that deserve to be woven into characters, plotlines, and worlds of my own creation.⁣
⁣
One day, I’ll walk down one of these aisles and see my book waiting for the person who needs it most. Until then, I’m honoring the process, one chapter at a time. ✨⁣

Just keep moving… ♥️👟🍃⁣
⁣
Every single day, before the school bus arrives back home with my kids, I put my music on and walk around our complex. Sometimes it’s just one lap, sometimes two or three. It’s a simple routine I started to ensure I’m up and moving during the day—no pressure, no overthinking, just taking it one step at a time.⁣
⁣
It first started as a weight loss technique, a way to increase my fitness, but it quickly became something so much more. Somewhere along the line, the focus shifted from losing weight to gaining peace of mind. I stopped treating movement like a punishment or a chore, and started viewing it as a gentle act of kindness to myself.⁣
⁣
Some days I have tons of energy, and other days I'm just going through the motions. But every time I step outside, I'm reminded that this time is for me. It’s a chance to clear my head, breathe in the fresh air, and show up for myself before the busy evening chaos begins.⁣
⁣
I don't always have the time to go to the gym, and I don't always have the energy for a high-intensity workout. So I walk—sometimes for ten minutes, sometimes for twenty. Every day no matter the time, I'm always glad I got up and moved my body.⁣
⁣
Movement doesn't have to be complicated to be worth it. Whatever your "one lap" looks like today, it counts. ✨⁣

Kindergarten, please be kind to him... ♥️🍎🎓⁣
⁣
As the bell rings and a new school year begins, my youngest is stepping into something he has never experienced before. The first day of school always brings a mix of excitement and anxiety, but for me, this year feels a little different.⁣
⁣
This is my first time navigating a school year with a child on the spectrum. I’m no stranger to sending a child off to class—watching my daughter head into Grade 2 this year feels like a sweet, familiar routine. But stepping into this school year as an autism parent for the very first time brings an entirely different weight and learning curve.⁣
⁣
Getting his diagnosis brought us so much reassurance and relief, but it also opened the door to a whole new journey. Standing in his classroom just a few days ago, meeting with his teachers and support staff, we worked to make sure everything was in place so he can truly succeed.⁣
⁣
Yet, as I watch him take this leap, I’m an anxious mess—filled with excitement, pride, and so much worry. Will he manage without me? Will his needs be met? Will his little voice be heard?⁣
⁣
The world outside our doors is getting bigger for him, but all I know is that when the school day ends, home will always be his soft place to land—a sanctuary where he can just be entirely, unapologetically himself.⁣
⁣
⁣
To all the parents sending a neurodivergent little one off to school this week: how are your hearts holding up? 🥺♥️ ⁣

This is what wrestling is all about...♥️⁣
⁣
To everyone who knows us, we are the Cody Rhodes family, always watching wrestling. A week ago our family had the experience of a lifetime.⁣
⁣
There are not enough words to describe how special it is to see your son watch his hero come out in person. To watch his eyes light up, and his heart explode in real time. I'll never forget this moment and I know he won't either.⁣
⁣
After the show we stayed until everyone else had left their seats, watching them get autographs. Our little boy just wanted to sit and listen to @cmpunk's theme song playing, and to see in person what he had only ever seen on TV before. ⁣
⁣
At 18 months old, he discovered wrestling and Cody Rhodes, and that was it. We weren't sure if we would ever hear his voice, but little by little while watching #WWERAW and #SMACKDOWN each week, he would use his wrestlers to act out what he saw, and the words started coming to him. ⁣
⁣
By 2 years old he could tell you who each wrestler is, identify everyone by their entrance song and knew every word of Kingdom by @downstaitband by heart. This song would be the anthem of our lives.⁣
⁣
I think we have watched the 2022 Hell in a Cell match between @americannightmarecody and @wwerollins upwards of 200+ times, it's his comfort show, whenever things are too overstimulating, whenever the world becomes too loud, his favourite match keeps him feeling calm. ⁣
⁣
His room is painted with red, white and blue stripes adorned with blue star curtains, because whenever you ask what he wanted for his big boy room the only answer was naturally “Cody Rhodes.” Sleeping beside a stuffed Cody Rhodes, Pharaoh and Cody teddy every single night.⁣
⁣
Over this summer we finally got the long-awaited diagnosis of Autism, and in a couple of weeks, he starts school for the very first time. The WWE Holiday Tour fit perfectly between two very important milestones, and we knew we had to make sure our little mega fan saw his hero live. ⁣
⁣
This world is not built for my little guy, I know that and I know some days it'll be hard. However, I want him to always remember he has his wrestling and the community taken in London, Ontario by @theselfloveshopp

Why fit in when you were born to stand out? ♥️⁣
⁣
When I first stepped in front of the camera with @boudieshotsboudoir, I was nervous, full of anxiety, and looking for any reason why I couldn't do it. Throughout my life, I've struggled with my appearance. I compared myself to others and heard more comments than I can count, comments that have stayed with me from childhood to adulthood. ⁣
⁣
At 4 years old, I learned the word 'acceptance' and declared that I accepted I would never grow up to be beautiful. ⁣
⁣
By 12, I started leaving my lunch at home and skipping meals, which eventually led to an eating disorder. I still have lingering effects from.⁣
⁣
At 15, I was part of a group of friends who excluded me from matching outfits and group photos, and I realized I'd never be considered enough in the eyes of others. ⁣
⁣
At 22, I finally stood in front of the camera for the first time, an experience that was liberating and freeing. I felt the years of suffering and self-hatred melt away. I was overweight, pregnant, and by all accounts should have hated myself the most, but I’d never felt more beautiful.⁣
⁣
I’ve shown my images, posted them proudly. Loved myself out loud and without apology. ⁣
⁣
I know there are many people out there who feel just like I did—that they need to hide who they are and believe they don't deserve to be seen or photographed. I want them to know that no matter what anyone else says or makes you feel, you are beautiful and deserving of being seen.⁣
⁣
I created this brand, with the intention to connect with others. In order to help people who are or have been exactly where I was. We are all beautiful, we all deserve to be seen and feel like our best selves. ⁣
⁣
Thank you to the many incredible photographers I’ve worked with, for helping me see my beauty before I ever truly could. Especially my best friend. @⁣

I wasn't ready for the impact wrestling would have on our lives.⁣♥️
⁣
At around 18 months, we noticed that Gabriel wasn't meeting his developmental milestones. We weren't sure if we would hear him speak. At the same time, he discovered wrestling, watching happily alongside the family. The lights, the music, the outfits  it all captivated him, and from then on he was hooked.⁣
⁣
Something surprising happened. Our little boy, who barely had a voice, began to say words. He already had hundreds of toy wrestlers he loved to play with. Except now he began to act out what he saw, adding words and then names. When we thought he wouldn't be able to express himself, he made his little voice known.⁣
⁣
In 2023, when he was almost 2 years old, we took him to see his hero, @americannightmarecody. He may not remember it, but I will never forget the way his eyes lit up and the tears he shed hearing Cody's song in person. The same entrance he would reenact hundreds of times before and has thousands of times since. Today, he can sing all the words and will listen to it on repeat.⁣
⁣
When he had his surgeries, he wore his Cody shirt to help him feel brave and held onto his wrestlers the whole way. Today, he cannot be found without a wrestler in his hand. Even when he's sleeping, he has multiple Cody Rhodes stuffed animals to keep him safe. ⁣
⁣
Being diagnosed with autism over the summer, he uses his wrestling to understand the world around him and feel more comfortable. He will rewatch old matches sometimes, the same one multiple times a day, specifically Hell in a Cell Cody vs Seth Rollins. Even if he's seen the match before, he will cry when Cody is losing and cheer when he wins.⁣
⁣
With Gabe starting school for the first time, there are a lot of nerves, but I know wrestling and his hero Cody will help get him through like always. ♥️⁣

I want to be an influencer... ♥️✨⁣
⁣
However, not in the way you might think when you hear that word.⁣
⁣
I don't care about trends, I want to influence you to love yourself, embrace your natural beauty, and stand proud in who you are. To wear what makes YOU happy and feel the best. ⁣
⁣
I want to influence you to protect your mental health. To remember that it’s okay to not be okay, and to stop trying to pour from an empty cup. That you are worth taking care of both physically and mentally.⁣
⁣
I want to influence you to love what you love, be proud of the things that you enjoy whether it be sports, music or hobbies. Have fun and be a fan, enjoy yourself and your life.⁣
⁣
I want to influence you to cherish every single moment, because you truly never know when it will be the last time you share a moment with someone you love. ⁣
⁣
And I want to influence you to be the best version of yourself, not for perfection, but for authenticity. For the little ones who look up to you and see you as their whole world. ⁣
⁣
My goal is to support and uplift you, no matter where you are on your journey. I know what it feels like to feel completely alone and hurting, and I want to be a space that helps you through it.⁣
⁣
If you're looking for a safe, honest corner of the internet where you can just be yourself, welcome home, I’m so glad you’re here. ♥️✨⁣

Caregiving doesn’t just test you; it reshapes you. ♥️⁣
⁣
9 months later, and I’m still unpacking everything being her caregiver taught me.⁣
⁣
When I originally shared this, it had only been two months. The raw grief was still a blur. Looking back now, the heavy moments all the fear, the confusion, the exhaustion, and the strain on our relationship when her illness took over, feels softer, shaped by time.⁣

What stands out clearest now isn't the stress. It’s her voice smiling and saying, “I used to take care of you, and now you take care of me.”⁣
⁣
Behind that sweet phrase was a heavy reality: the late nights, the arguments born from fear and confusion, the pain of watching someone you love lose their independence, and the weight of stepping into a role you never anticipated.⁣
⁣
It wasn't something I planned, but holding her hand through her final days was the most important thing I’ve ever done. Returning the grace she gave me as a child was an honour, even on the hardest days.⁣
⁣
To anyone currently navigating the heavy, quiet, beautiful, and exhausting reality of caregiving: I see you. It changes you, but the love you give in those moments echoes forever.⁣
⁣
Nine months without her, but her love is built into everything I do now. ♥️ ⁣

𝗠𝘆 𝗪𝗵𝘆 - the inspiration behind building The Self Love Shopp⁣
⁣
For a long time, self-love and I did not go hand in hand. Struggling to cope with the weight of the world and my mental health as a whole, I felt like I was drowning and couldn't find my way to the surface. I avoided mirrors and refused to be seen in pictures because I felt I didn't deserve to be captured or seen. My journey has been long, rocky, and chances are I've been where you are in some way.⁣
⁣
As a mother, mental health is something that is on the forefront of my parenting. Both focusing on the mental health of my children and myself as it is impossible to pour from an empty cup. Often using affirmations, and different tools I have implemented into my own business in my day to day life. ⁣
⁣
That’s why I created The Self Love Shopp. I wanted to curate pieces and spaces that serve as a symbolic hug for your nervous system. Handmade items created to support you wherever you are on your journey. I am also including curated blog posts written from the heart that reflect the journey I have personally experienced.⁣
⁣
Every handmade piece from the shop is crafted with the same thoughtful intention. When I make something, I think of the person who, like me, needs a physical reminder that they are worthy of beautiful things. Reminders of their worth and potential. These aren't just products; they are tools for your own rebuilding — to really connect with and understand where you are.⁣
⁣
While The Self Love Shopp may have started from my personal experience, it’s no longer just about my journey. It’s about creating a corner of the internet where it’s okay to be yourself, to heal, and to take up space. We’re breaking cycles together, one intentional choice at a time. The goal is to build a space where people feel safe and comfortable, seen and understood.⁣
⁣
If you’re creating your own personal sanctuary from scratch, follow along. We’re just getting started.🖤

Hi there! - I’m Elizabeth, the owner and operator of The Self Love Shopp! ⁣
⁣
With a dedication of promoting self love and advocating for mental health, paired with an extensive past of mental health struggles. I created a company with an aim to support those who are struggling mentally as I know personally how difficult it can be. A want to make a difference in the world and help others. ⁣
⁣
This is really the cumulation of many years of work and passion projects. I have created various designs and products that I truly have put my heart and soul into. Running my own business? Well - we will see about that, it may be a learning process but I can't wait to start this journey with all of you. ⁣
⁣
I'm also a mother, to two beautiful children Isabella and Gabriel. Staying at home taking care of my little ones and watching them grow has been the most rewarding and beautiful thing I've ever experienced. Creating this business is so important to me as it focuses on values that I try so hard to teach my own children at home. As well as it gives me the opportunity to show them how they can truly achieve anything.⁣
⁣
At the begging of last year I started diving into freelance modeling, as I learnt to fall in love with myself; after a lifetime of my own self hatred and insecurities. This has been a journey that has been so freeing and so challenging all at the same time. I really enjoy being in front of the camera and getting to create in such a different way than I am used too.⁣
⁣
I truly hope that within this business I create a community that is a safe space for everyone who comes across it. Knowing personally how isolating it can be when dealing with your own silent battles, I hope that @theselfloveshopp can be a form of relief from the darkness you may find yourself in. ⁣
