I would love to start going to weekly yoga classes to get flexible again. My body feels stagnant and movement resonates at the moment. Sunshine to my bare skin is also a form of love, energetically charging my cells would be an act of love as well.

Yet I would love to hear “you are a goddess” ,”how may I worship you Devine goddess” & “your essence is my life force”.

He said you need to get checked, I had a foul discharge that wouldn’t go away. That was so embarrassing, I had no idea about STI’s or how they were spread.

Education, empower and align women. Create wise women circles and tribes so that we normalize all the wild things that happen to us as women. I love the terminology of Intentional Motherhood-it holds a dear space in my heart.

I had breast implants for 18 years that made me extremely sick and unable to eat much. I lost 40lbs over 2 years and became deathly ill. I had them removed in 21′ with a lift.

Seeing other women’s bodies allows us to accept our own. Seeing our differences and our similarities is what brings forth acceptance of our own meat suit. Also seeing other women’s vulvas is so darn empowering, the act of visualizing and…Read more

Her husband wanted her to have long hair and it was a “vanity trip” to shave it all off, she realized she didn’t need to be pretty for anyone only herself. What an act of self love.
