Growing up, my relationship with my body was one made up of equal parts shame, hate, resentment, fear, isolation and trauma.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My dark past is no secret to my community. My life once looked very different to my now reality.
Over the years, I’ve been fortunate enough to have access to the best medical professionals, therapists, nutritionists, and counsellors. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Whilst I respect their professions and thank them for their guidance, nothing they offered would have aided my suffering without my OWN strength, will, determination, self-reflection and commitment to the betterment of my person.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This calmness has come from over a decade of painfully personal & equally liberating lived-in experience.
I always knew that I have gone through what I did, in order to afford others permission to find themselves.
Lean in, let go.
