9 years ago I was bikini modelling.
Now I’m 42.
And yes… over the weekend, despite most people telling me I look youthful for my age, someone I trusted assumed I was menopausal.
Being a woman and getting older isn’t always easy.
Cellulite appears where it never used to.
What you could eat freely before… now asks for awareness.
And the effort required to maintain your body? It’s different.
The truth is — I am aging.
But for the record… I’m not menopausal.
What I am is stronger than I’ve ever been.
Mentally.
Emotionally.
Spiritually.
Over the last 9 years, my focus hasn’t been on how I look — it’s been on who I am.
Deep self-awareness. Growth. Healing. Expansion.
And now, this year, I return to my physical self with that same depth of intention.
Because age? It really is just a number.
And truthfully, my greatest inspiration is my mum —
if I age anything like her, I know I’m doing something right.And yes one day I will be menopausal.
What keeps me youthful is something deeper —
My curiosity for life.
My love for people, animals, and nature.
My openness. My softness. My fire.
That part of me is still wildly, beautifully childlike.
So yes… this stirred something in me.
Because I am who I am — and like all of us, I’m allowed to evolve, to change, to grow through different seasons of life without feeling judged.
And also, let’s be mindful about what we assume about a woman’s ability to create.
Some of us may not be gifted with children — and that doesn’t make us any less whole, or any less powerful.
Our ability to create extends far beyond that.
We create homes.
We create meaningful friendships.
We create businesses, ideas, energy, and impact in the world.
And every version of that is just as beautiful.
So today, I choose to love my body and myself — beyond other people’s projections or assumptions.
And I invite you to reflect on this too…
Where in your life are you letting someone else’s perception define how you see yourself?
And what would shift if you chose to come back home to your own truth?
