I am so so so SO excited about today’s post.
Not too long ago, the wonderful ladies behind the blog She Only Lives Once, reached out to me about their #SheForShe campaign & once I got the gist of the whole concept, I couldn’t wait to be involved.
It’s a blog eat blog world out there, & that’s just not my thing. I respect, admire, appreciate, & am constantly in awe of my peers. I want to support these women, collaborate with them, & never ever compete. Us ladies gotta stick together, right?
So yea, that’s basically what #SheForShe is all about. Joining forces, helping each other, & most importantly- loving & appreciating YOURSELF.
The first part of this campaign was an interview with yours truley, & let’s just say, shit got personal.
We talked in full detail about my struggles with anxiety, how I get over insecurities, what advice I have for other women going through hard times, how I got to where I am today, roadblocks I’ve faced, sacrifices I’ve made, the ladies that I find inspirational, etc. etc.
Answering all of the REALLY fabulous questions ended up being a major growth experience for me. I learned a lot about myself through these questions, & even did something I never really do, compliment myself. It was totally uncomfortable/awkward, but I must admit, it feels good to recognize your strengths & give yourself a lil’ pat on the back.
You can, and I really hope you do, check out the full interview here!
Now, for the second part of the #SheForShe campaign…
