What if all the fuss about size is really a covert strategy to down-size women's power? Self-doubt keeps women from experiencing our truth and manifesting our best lives. Body positivity and self-acceptance are our real superpowers. It's time to cut assumptions about a size down to size!

Fit to be Tied is a piece that I created to celebrate recovery. After a lifetime of patriarchal programming, I am pushing back against the impulse to be a perfectionist, and a people-pleaser. When we strip away the traditional measurements used to silence and restrain women, we discover an authentic self. Not greater than, or less than, anyone else. Being ourselves is enough.
