As I see the posts about the women attending Body Image Bootcamp in Mexico this week, I find myself smiling at all the photos. I know the women there will have fabulous stories, and breakthroughs that they will be excited to share.
It's bringing back memories.
Not just of the beautiful place or the incredible women I met when I attended, but of the ways that experience changed me.
For a long time I thought confidence was something you either had or you didn't.
What I have learned is that confidence is built.
It's built when you say yes to something that scares you (Like being an introvert who spontaneously signs up to go to Mexico for a week with strangers).
When you let yourself be seen, challenge old beliefs and sit in uncomfortable - you grow.
The women in these photos were part of that journey for me. Each one showed up with courage, vulnerability, and a willingness to explore their relationship with themselves.
Together, we laughed, cried, learned, stretched, and discovered that body image isn't really about our bodies at all.
It's about the stories we tell ourselves.
Years later, those lessons continue to shape not only who I am as a woman, but also how I serve my clients.
So today, I'm celebrating these incredible women and the impact they've had on my life.
Confidence isn't a personality trait reserved for a lucky few.
It's a relationship you build with yourself—one brave moment at a time.
