Raise your hand if you've worked from home slash owned your own virtual business and been expected to balance/multitask way more than any person sitting in a traditional work setting would.

Raise another hand if you are a professional content creator going on six years and most of the time people don't even acknowledge that you have a job. (Maybe that one is just me. 🙃)

Women who work from home/for themselves have *real* jobs.

With real hours.
With real expectations.
With real responsibilities.

We may get to wear our PJs to work. We may get to switch the laundry on breaks. We may have a decent amount of flexibility on when we can work.

But 👏 It 👏 Is 👏 Still 👏 Work.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

TW: eating disorder⠀
⠀
Tomorrow is the last day of Eating Disorder Awareness Week.

40-60% of elementary school girls ages 6-12 are concerned about their weight. Read it again. ⠀
⠀⠀
The first time I remember restricting my diet in an effort to be smaller was in sixth grade. While I was always a genetically thin/standard size, even as a child I knew how larger bodies were viewed and judged in society, by boys at school, by my family. I’d do anything to not be that.⠀
⠀⠀
I spent hours on pro-ana websites, printed “thinspo” photos of other girls with protruding rib cages to study when I wanted food. I saved tips on how to stay alive while starving and how to burn the most calories in 24 hours. There were days when I rationed eight almonds and six grapes. There were months where I never ate more than 300 calories per day.
⠀⠀
For roughly 20 years I know now that I had eating disorders in many forms from anorexia to binge disorder to orthorexia (cleverly disguised as “discipline”). I could tell you a million stories that would terrify you. The only commonality that transcends every dark period in my relationship with food has been a disconnect from self. ⠀⠀
⠀⠀
For me, recovery is ongoing and it comes through therapy, medication, and the choice to live because I’m thankful for my body, not in spite of it. ⠀⠀
⠀⠀
I'm not going to pretend to know your situation or what your journey to recovery looks like. All I know is that you don't have to live like this. You don't have to wait until you look or feel a certain way.⠀
⠀⠀
I’m also here to tell you that if you have children you need to be paying attention. You need to pay attention to how you talk about other humans, how you talk about yourself, and how you talk about THEM.⠀⠀
⠀⠀
Eating disorders have the second highest mortality rate of all mental illnesses (surpassed only by the opioid epidemic). ⠀⠀
⠀⠀
If you feel you (or your child) needs help or is in crisis, text "NEDA" to 741741.

More creating. Less criticizing.

I hope they grow up to know how much I adore their every freckle and eyelash, even on the hardest days of motherhood.

I hope they know I always woke up and did my very best and grieved the days I failed.

I hope they know I fought to demonstrate a life of autonomy and authenticity so that they could someday recognize the same in themselves.

I hope they know that I'm far from perfect and I'll always be the first to admit it. I'll support whatever way they eventually process their childhood.

I hope they know that I was one of many people who loved them and contributed to their upbringing; the onus was not solely on me as their mother.

I hope they know that choosing not to martyr myself for motherhood is love. I embrace the entirety of my identity so that they know they can too... especially if they decide to become a parent.

I hope they know I'll always consider them my greatest teachers, my most divine gifts, and my favorite three humans on earth and I'd be nothing without their existence.

I used to be so bothered by unfollows. Especially when people would take the time to message me and announce their departure with cruel words.

Disapproval used to bum me out so much worse than it does now. And to be honest with you, the last year (and especially the last couple of months) the "followers" have dropped even faster.

On a basic ego level it can be easy to let that affect you emotionally. From social media followers, to real life friends falling out of your life, to losing family support.

My biggest takeaway that I want to share with you is this.

If you are fully exposing and honoring your truth in whatever way that looks like, it is going to make certain people uncomfortable. To those people you're a "new" you, when in your mind, you're the MOST you you've ever been. This can hurt. (Especially if you have "masked" your authentic self for a length of time.)

It will be tempting to shrink and go back into the box that made people comfortable. You might cry yourself to sleep some nights wondering if being exactly who you are... out loud... is bad or wrong because of external reaction.

It isn't.

The world needs you.
The vulnerable you.
The weird you.
The quirky you.

Let go of who you thought you needed approval from and focus on the people who are here to join you in life right here, right now, as you are.

This is a periodic PSA that if my content or my life is something you can't relate to or support anymore, I'm not mad at you. If my content doesn't speak to you, it's not for you. And I'm so beyond ok with that.

I would rather love and encourage 20 of you in a room who want to hear my true voice than to beg a million people to adore a fraudulent version of me.

This year I am not manifesting numbers. I'm manifesting an audience of ANY size as long as my message is what they need.

Happy Tuesday my people. ❤️

What's going on in Texas is unconscionable and it's not over.

I know we are all becoming desensitized to "unprecedented events" but we need to rally.

There is a ton of information being shared on social about how to help and how to survive, but I wanted to create a visible thread here for my community. I also have a story highlight with info I'm finding.

Please leave a comment with:

• Your Venmo/CashApp or another specific request if you are in need.

• Names/handles of organizations we can support/amplify.

• Any other resources or information that may help.

Thanks in advance friends.
