My body.
Now before you close this email because you’re preparing for another one of those emails where I get all misty eyed at what my body is capable of and the fact that I made and birthed a human via abdominal surgery while I was awake!
This isn’t that email!
No, this email is about something FAR more controversial. FAR more radical. FAR more risque! Far more rebellious!
Right here, right now, together we are celebrating the fact that I had the AUDACITY to put my 6 week postpartum mom bod into a…are you ready for it? A bathing suit! IN PUBLIC!
There’s more.
This is where the story gets really juicy. This is where the story defies all constraints placed on a woman’s body. This is where the revolution happens.
Beyond wondering which bathing suit I own that fits my current boob situation, I didn’t give getting into a swimsuit a second thought. I saw myself and this body that I’m just starting to get to know in the mirror and realized in that moment that there’s a whole host of feelings I’m “supposed” to have or “should” have about being in a bathing suit right now. My body all unevenly distributed as pieces and parts find their way back home.
But…I didn’t have those feelings. I was simply THRILLED to go to the pool with Everett on a hot day. I am thrilled that I CAN go to a pool with Everett on a hot day. That I do not have stitches in my undercarriage!
Can you believe it? At 6 weeks postpartum I went out in public in a bathing suit and felt great!
How rebellious! How radical! How very dare I!!!!
There’s more.
I’ve started going back to dance cardio and it feels so good. And get this…
I feel sexy.
Viva la revolución!
WHAT?! HOW DARE I?!?!?! I’m a mom of two!
Yet, here we are. I’m not “supposed” to feel confident or sexy, but I do! And I’m not gonna stop! Instead, I’m going to double down and do things that make me feel even more confident and sexy like read romance novels and move my body.
What are you going to do?
Reply to this email and let me know! I love hearing from you.
And, as always, I’ve got your back. I’ve got your front. And I’ve got your undercarriage.
