  • How I got my sexy back. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Going from Showgirl to Mother was a breeze for me. I have always had a strong connection to my inner Mother as nurturing and care taking came easy to me. Once I left Jubilee! I naturally flowed into motherhood and made it my focus. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Then one day, I noticed a gaping void in my heart. I ignored it and tried to “fill it” with stuff—more projects, more family time, more material objects, etc. The void grew. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I had the picture perfect life: a loving husband, two beautiful daughters, an amazing home, my family within minutes, a blossoming corporate career—but I was miserable. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Why? It took quite a bit of introspection and courage to figure it out. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I was living somebody else’s dream. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I couldn’t go on living that way, so I took my life apart and put it back together as I wanted it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ From the outside in, it appeared that my life was falling apart. Between dismantling my marriage, leaving corporate and not having any plans or goals except to seek that which made me happy, everyone thought I was losing my mind. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It was the first time that I felt in control of my life, that I was being truly ME—authentically me. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My vision for MY life, MY way, became super clear. I made the decision to get my ass back up on stage and dance again. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Six years of clarifying experiences including a foray into the burlesque world then transitioning into making showgirl costumes, helped me get my sexy back! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Glamour and amplification are an essential part of me. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Are you tuning in and amplifying the essence of you?

  • “Moms aren’t sexy.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Can you believe this was actually a thought that went through my head after having babies and raising them into big kids? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My girls were 4 and 7 when I decided to end my marriage and get my butt back onstage to do burlesque. It was the first time in 8 years that I had allowed myself to take myself off the back burner (for once,🙄) to do something that was just for me. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It took about 2 1/2 years to truly understand the meaning of self care and filling your own cup. And during that time a lot of clarity was found through dating, performing and falling in love with @professorphelyx ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My favorite bit of clarity that was revealed through all the highs and lows during that time is that I had not allowed myself (read: gave myself permission,) to be a sexual being. I had given up my glamour girl goddess status and traded it in for frumpy mom. (I still *looked* like a MILF, but not feeling so much so...) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My experiences with dating boys showed me that I had lost my sexy, and that I desperately needed to get it back to start giving off the “I’ve got confidence and love myself” vibe. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Lots of inner work has been done within myself in the past 7 years to reveal the true beauty that is self confidence. And if you feel like you have lost your sexy or confidence is lacking, you can find it again! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Confidence or getting your sexy back is all about taking the steps to retrain yourself to *BE* confident and sexy. Even if you’ve birthed babies or lost your value due to a relationship that has ended. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Have you forgotten to give yourself permission to be sexy? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #gazealous #showgirlpreneur #showgirlslife #boostyourconfidence #onetoonecoach #confidencecoach #alignmentcoach #amplifyYou #qofDay #questionoftheday #revealyou #confidenceboost #empoweredwoman #areyouempowered? #featheryrevelry #havemorefun #findwhatsfun #lookingforthenextfun #getyoursexyback #authenticandamplified #amplifyyoursexy #goddess #showgirl #Showgirlshavemorefun #theresmoretothestory #moretolife #areyouenjoyinglife? #isyourlifejoyful? #HowIgotmysexyback
