The moment you start to question yourself is the moment you know change is coming. After finding something in your closet that doesn’t feel right, there’s no stopping your mind from going back. You’ll begin to get curious. You’ll ask yourself what’s wrong with your wardrobe and how can you can fix it. You’ll notice at different points in your life that as you evolve and grow, your style will too. I’ve been through it myself time and time again.
As important as it is to set goals for yourself, I think it’s equally as important to love yourself in the present, just the way you are. I know weight loss is a common new year’s resolution, and achieving it takes a lot of dedication. Whether you lose weight or not, your clothing is going to have to change with you.
Maternity clothes seem to champion some of the most unflattering items I’ve ever seen. No, I don’t want bows on my belly or big dots on my shirt. As a stylist, I’m super picky about my purchases. I’m all about building my wardrobe with items that make me feel powerful, feminine, and put together. No matter what size I’m wearing or what’s going on, I want to feel confident when I step out the door.
They say it takes a village to raise a child, but it also takes a lot of behind the scenes work to feel safe and supported throughout the journey of motherhood. Finding the right support before, during, and after pregnancy is crucial. It was such a blessing to have a conversation with the boob boss, aka Rue Khosa, founder of The Perfect Push. She’s all about boobs, bumps, and babies—and trust me when I say that you instantly feel at ease with her. No matter how crazy the question may sound in your head, she’ll not only provide an answer, but also ensure you feel comfortable and safe. Rue is a pioneer in Seattle who advocates cultural change for all steps in a mother’s journey, including healthcare, the treatment of women, and the role new mother’s play in the workforce. After a ten-year career as a medical practitioner, she changed paths to create a safe space where women can truly feel cared for while having a positive, professionally supported childbirth experience. In this episode, we talk about how to deal with mom guilt, when to find emotional support during your pregnancy, and why there’s been a huge shift towards natural birth and breastfeeding.
