I come forward answering all of the questions I have always avoided: what "work" have I done? Skincare? Botox? Fillers? 

I share my personal experience and reflections on it all, and take on articulating one of the most difficult topics to navigate: fostering inner beauty, self love, and confidence in the face of the ever fluctuating pressures from the beauty standards of society-- and since this reality is so prevalent, can (and HOW can) these things co-exist for women today. 

Can you love yourself and understand your worth is not as superficial as your outward appearance, while also wanting or choosing to change certain aspects of your outward appearance? 

Please listen through to the END.

Just showing up this week exactly where I am, rambling, and processing in real time here with you.

This one's for anyone who has every been JUDGED, criticized, or condemned. 
For anyone feeling hurt, mad, angry, sad, or less-than because of it. 

We've all been there. Sometimes I handle it better than others. Here's what I've learnt along my way, and how I handled it today!

 In the words of T Swift-- I'm Damned If I Do Give A Damn What People Say

One important show note after listening back: 7 minutes in, I am reflecting on the statement that it is impossible to love others if we don’t have the capacity to love ourselves. I said there are nuances to that statement, and gave the example that for a long time, I loved my husband more than I loved myself. What I meant to say and convey here, is that I loved my husband BEFORE I was able to love myself. 
For me, my husband seeing and loving and accepting all parts of me fully, was the catalyst for my healing my relationship with myself. He was and is my example and advocate in my self-love journey, which has only led to our love for each other deepening too. I wanted to clarify this as a reminder of what Dr. Mariel Buqué and I discussed in episode 7– If you aren’t at a healthy place with your relationship with yourself, that does not invalidate your love for someone else. But as you work to see and forgive and love yourself? You will have greater joy and ability to love others as well. 

Love you, 

Kels

Sometimes you just need your big sister. 

I have been fortunate to spend some time with mine (we don't live close) and when I asked her to come on the pod this week, she immediately said "ok!" Because she's the best. Because she supports me fiercely and always has. 

In true Redefine Fitness fashion, this convo is impromptu, unplanned, unedited, and from the heart. It's just us sitting on her closet floor. We discuss female friendships (and heartbreaks). She sets straight some assumptions about me, and I share life lessons I've learned from her. I hope you listen and feel like you're sitting right there with us. 

I want your midnights, but I'll be cleaning up bottles with you on New Years Day. 

We love you
