I really love this because I totally relate to the struggle it has been, to feel at home in my body, and the conditioning and expectations that groom us to wear masks of perfection, rather than being truly authentic and comfortable as a woman, in how we look and who we are!

will never tire of saying this: patriarchal conditioning runs so deep that sometimes what looks like female empowerment is still deeply shaped by the very conditioning we are trying to free ourselves from. We have been taught for generations what a “desirable” woman should look like. Thin. Toned. Youthful. Sexy. Polished. Always put together. Always desirable. And somehow, we started confusing being desired with being empowered. But what if true female empowerment has nothing to do with how desirable we are to the male gaze? Or even our own distored gaze, the one that truly matters. What if it begins when a woman truly OWNS her body? When she feels at home inside herself. When she can look at her body—not as an object that constantly needs to be improved, controlled, reduced, sculpted or made more desirable—but as HER HOME. A body that bleeds, births, ages, softens, expands, contracts, desires, rests and transforms. For me, this is where we begin to change the paradigm. Because as long as our sense of worth is still connected to how desirable we are, we are not entirely free from the conditioning that taught us to see ourselves through somebody else’s eyes. And don’t get me wrong—I am still very much in this process myself. I am learning to be at peace with my changing, perimenopausal body. I am meeting beliefs about beauty, sexuality and worthiness that I didn’t even realize were living inside me. But something is shifting. I am beginning to understand that my power as a woman was never dependent on the size of my body, the smoothness of my skin, or how desirable I appear. Let's inhabit yourself so deeply that you no longer need somebody else’s desire to confirm your worth. To belong to yourself. So I want to ask my women here... What makes you feel deeply confident, rooted and at home within yourself?

You don't always get the apology, the explanation, or the ending you wanted.

Sometimes you give yourself the closure by deciding you're done waiting for it.
